This book is an excellent primer for those working in counseling settings because alcohol and substance abuse are inevitable clinical issues. Clinicians can use the material from the 50 tips or exercises, to expand their substance use treatment knowledge and behavioral options.

The book can also be a guide and counseling allie when working with clients presenting with alcohol and substance abuse issues. This would be an excellent book for the therapist and client to work through together.

Simple Ways to Unwind without Alcohol offers 50 surprisingly simple skills to help a person destress, reclaim one’s calm, and feel more vibrant in day-to-day life—without a beer, glass of wine, or cocktail. Clinicians will find this book very helpful for those stuck in a drinking rut and in need of a wellness reset, they will love how empowered and energetic they will feel when they reach for this book instead of a drink. Enjoying a substance free lifestyle may be habit forming.
