About this listen

Everybody knows they should drink a bit less, but good intentions are hard to keep. Mindful Drinking shows not only why you should but also how you can, in a way that will change your life forever.

Ever woken up worrying that you said the wrong thing at work drinks the night before? Felt frustrated with yourself for polishing off the entire bottle of wine when you only intended to have one glass? The emotional pull of alcohol is strong, but Mindful Drinking: How Cutting Down Will Change Your Life is here to help us cultivate a new, healthy and more mindful relationship with alcohol.

Journalist Rosamund Dean combines scientific expertise with practical advice in a game-changing four-step plan: The Problem, The Incentive, The Clean Break and The End Game. Drinking less will improve your mood, your skin and your body as well as reduce stress and anxiety for the long term.

This is a good book to get your head in gear and in the right place when it comes to thinking about drinking. It does make a nice change from all the "cut it out for good and go sober" books. This helps you put in place a realistic way to drinking AND think to cut down.
It's more prosecco & pesto, rather than pints and pork scratchings which may put some off, and there's a lot of meditation, mindfulness talk, but the clue is in the title. Well worth a listen if you're starting to lose control of how much booze you put away in the week, but don't want to quit altogether

Good solid advice

Listening to this book I could relate to so much of what was being said, the situations faced and the thoughts and feelings associated with those situations. It’s empowering to know I can now deal with those situations in a much different way and the answer isn’t at the bottom of a bottle! Highly recommend this to anyone who knows they need to cut down but don’t quite know how to, just yet! Listen to this book and you will!

So relatable!

It is so refreshing to find a book which helps with cutting down, which so many of us want to do, rather than abstinence and it’s a really good manual for that.

Refreshing

Really useful everyday tips to cut down, good mix of context and wider understanding with practical. I found it too much on ‘this is what you can tell other people about not drinking’ as if it’s not acceptable not to drink. But maybe is more if it’s time (2017), now I think everyone’s on the wagon! Good for people who know they drink too much, aren’t full blown alcoholics and are very socially cue-d to drink.

Very practical useful and inspiring
