Read more: Join Us in Discussing the book Chasing the Scream by Johann HariI first read Johann Hari’s book Chasing the Scream, in September 2016. I was 18 months sober and working with my orchestra on a cruise ship. While my colleagues were all enthusiastically enjoying the all-you-can-drink hospitality I found refuge in the ship’s library.

Read more: Top Sobriety Blog Posts to Help You Stop Drinking and Stay Alcohol-FreeSobriety blogs, and blogs in general, have evolved a lot since I read my first post on Unpickled back in 2015.

Alcohol is…An Alcohol Awareness Month Public Service Announcement
Read more: Alcohol is…An Alcohol Awareness Month Public Service AnnouncementALCOHOL IS A DRUG Alcohol is not a wonderful magic potion. It’s just a drug.

I often drank to the blackout stage, probably because I crammed my drinking of large quantities into pretty short periods. Remembering the last hour of my evening was impossible.

10 THINGS SOBRIETY HAS TAUGHT ME
Read more: 10 THINGS SOBRIETY HAS TAUGHT MEI think it would be fair to say that the last few years have been a little tricky for humankind.
