BOOKLIFE REVIEWS FREE YOURSELF FROM THE GRIP OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION Yvonne L.M. Cross, author Ten steps to give up alcohol. Real-life stories and real-life results about the path I took to give up drinking. Facts to back the actions and steps through guidance and journaling activities. Encouragement to live a free and better life without alcohol. Review After years of “letting [herself] down,” Cross conquered her alcohol addiction through an arduous journey of physical, mental, and emotional work, and she shares that hard-earned wisdom here, through her 10 steps to establishing sobriety and living fulfilling lives free from addiction. She dispels myths surrounding alcoholism—such as drinking in moderation, detoxing, and withdrawals—and advocates for others struggling with addiction to change their mindset, set up a strong support system, and explore the true reasons behind their desire to quit using. As she shares her own personal story of triumph, Cross advises readers that “admitting you have a problem doesn't make you weak; it makes you honest.” While providing insights on the road to sobriety, Cross tackles a slew of crucial issues: she breaks down the effects alcohol can have on the brain, body, and relationships; differentiates enabling from being supportive; explores the duality of forgiveness and self-forgiveness while mending relationships; and analyzes the choice between quitting cold turkey or gradually reducing intake. She writes from the perspective of lived-in experience, which gives weight to her suggestions, and shares recommendations in informative, empathetic language that will resonate with readers ready to embark on their own journey of personal growth. Though Cross’s debut focuses primarily on alcoholism, the steps and advice she includes can be generalized to any addiction, as she touches on overall health, maintaining patience and grace for the task ahead, and incorporating mindful techniques to fuel goals and solidify motivation. Cross’s encouraging, compassionate style never wavers, as she delves into self-reflection, healing, and challenges readers with a realistic look at what’s in store for anyone choosing to kick their dependence. Readers willing to put in the hard work will feel empowered to let go of their fear and begin a transformative journey to the other side of addiction. Takeaway: Realistic guide to overcoming alcohol addiction, written with empathy. Comparable Titles: Richard O'Connor's Rewire, Erica C. Barnett's Quitter.
