520    "Drinking is everywhere in our culture-whether it's wine-o
       -clock or impromptini, alcohol often is a fundamental part
       of socializing and destressing. And it can seem black or 
       white: you drink or you don't. If you fall into the latter
       camp, people automatically assume one of a few things: 
       you're pregnant, you're taking antibiotics, or you're in 
       recovery. There's not a lot of grey area. But a lot of 
       women aren't given the tools to really take a step back 
       and assess their relationship to alcohol in a way that is 
       informative and clear-eyed, rather than absolute. Not 
       Drinking Tonight is a book that helps women explore their 
       relationship with alcohol in a new way and create a sober 
       life they love. Written in a judgement-free and relatable 
       tone, this timely guide seamlessly blends research from 
       evolutionary psychology with easy-to-digest clinical tools
       and practices to help women assess then heal their 
       relationship with alcohol from the inside out. The 
       narrative threads are based on therapist Amanda White's 
       three archetypal clients, following their journey in 
       reevaluating their relationship with alcohol, 
       understanding why they drink, and discovering how to stop.
       The women come from diverse backgrounds and range in the 
       seriousness of their alcohol consumption, demonstrating a 
       mild, moderate, and severe case of Alcohol Use Disorder. 
       Each will come to a different conclusion about why they 
       want to stop drinking by the end of the book, a framework 
       that not only recalls Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, 
       but also shares therapeutic tools and practices. 
       Reflective questions help readers dig deeper into their 
       personal experience and apply the concepts to their own 
       lives. Where other sobriety or sober-curious books present
       various programs to stop drinking, Amanda's book first-and
       critically-addresses the root issues that cause us to 
       reach for a drink, setting up the reader for long-term 
       psychological healing and success"--|cProvided by
