Extract from Chapter 1
"The Hello Moment"
Sometimes, the solution to a life problem can be shockingly obvious when it reveals itself. Often, it has been there in plain sight all along, waiting for you to notice it. Giving up drinking can be like that—you struggle for ages, then suddenly the solution pops up and says ‘hello’.
Can it really be that simple? You might be skeptical if you are among the many millions who have tried unsuccessfully to control or stop drinking, since you have already experienced how alcohol exerts a powerful hold on drinkers. Surely, you cannot break that hold in a flash? I understand your skepticism. I was like that, too. But not anymore.
It has been my privilege to work with drinkers for many years. Firstly, as an addictions counselor working in outpatient units and treatment services. Then, as the writer of ‘Alcohol and You’, ‘The 10-Day Alcohol Detox Plan’, and co-author of ‘Mindfulness for Alcohol Recovery’.
Over time, I have received vast feedback from one-to-one therapy clients and readers of my books. All that has shown me what really goes on out there—the truth about what happens when people address their difficulties with alcohol. Many people indeed struggle, often needing numerous attempts to get it right, while others never succeed and live their whole lives in alcohol’s relentless grip. Most problematic drinkers fall into one of those two categories. I know that sounds grim, but this isn’t a gloomy book.
On the contrary, I have enormous good news. I have also met and worked with another group of drinkers. I call them the Sober Winners. These ex-drinkers make sobriety look like a breeze, a joy, the stuff of life. They don’t miss alcohol at all. They are thriving.
Their drinking histories vary. Some drank for decades; others only a few years. Some drank so much they almost died; others drank much less, but alcohol still caused chaos in their lives. Some wanted to quit for life, while others sought a sober break. Some wanted to quit alcohol to solve another problem—for example, as part of a weight loss diet—but when they tried to stop drinking, they found it was unexpectedly hard.
However, they all became Sober Winners, and they all had one thing in common—they had a ‘hello’ moment.
A hello moment is a major insight that changes everything. It silences the negative chatter in your head that has held you back, and the way forward is suddenly clear. It’s your road to Damascus moment in the journey to beat alcohol, a revelation so clear you cannot ignore it. When the Sober Winners got their hello moment, their lives changed right there and then. The struggle with alcohol was over.
This book is about how you, too, can find your hello moment and move on from battling alcohol, stop reading ‘quit lit’ books, and get on with your life.
