The Sober Lush: A Hedonist's Guide to Living a Decadent, Adventurous, Soulful Life--Alcohol Free
by Amanda Eyre Ward Jardine LibaireA sober hedonist's guide to living a decadent, wild, and soulful life--alcohol-free.In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date," many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life.Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating. Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it. Ward was introduced to Libaire when she first got sober. As they became friends, the two women talked about how they yearned to create lives that were Technicolor, beautifully raw, connected, blissed out, and outside the lines . . . but how? In The Sober Lush, Libaire and Ward provide a road map for living a lush and sensual life without booze. This book offers ideas and instruction for such nonalcoholic joys as: • The allure of "the Vanish," in which one disappears early from the party without saying goodbye to a soul, to amble home under the stars • The art of creating zero-proof cocktails for all seasons • Having a fantastic first date while completely sober • A primer on setting up your own backyard beehive, and honey tastingsFor anyone curious about lowering their alcohol consumption or quitting drinking altogether, or anyone established in sobriety who wants inspiration, this shimmering and sumptuous book will show you how to keep indulging in life even if you stop indulging in alcohol.

Sober Mercies: How Love Caught Up with a Christian Drunk
by Heather Harpham KoppWhere do you turn for hope when you already have the answer--but the answer isn't working?As a long-time Christian, Heather Kopp never expected to become an out-of-control alcoholic who kept private stashes of booze all over the place--tucked behind books in her study, zipped into a special compartment in her oversized purse, at the back of her closet stuffed inside her boots. Even as her career and marriage teetered on the brink, Kopp couldn't get a grip, desperately hiding the true extent of her drinking from the rest of the world--her husband included. During the day she wrote books about God and prayer and family. At night she'd locked herself in her bathroom to guzzle chardonnay.For her, as for many Christians who struggle with addiction, overwhelming shame and confusion only made things worse. Why wasn't her faith enough to save her? Why didn't repentance, Bible reading and prayer work? Where was God?Meanwhile, as she watched in horror, her grown son descended into his own nightmare of drugs and alcohol. She feared for his life, yet she couldn't stop drinking long enough to help him--or find a way out for herself.Until the day everything changed.Engaging, funny and bracingly honest, Kopp shares her remarkable journey into darkness...and back to the light again. Her story reveals the unique challenges and spiritual conundrums Christians face when they become ensnared in an addiction, and the redemption that's possible when we finally reach the end of ourselves. If you love Jesus but shop too much, drink too much, eat too much, crush on men who aren't your husband, or otherwise fixate on doing things you hate but can't stop doing, SOBER MERCIES is for you.As you follow Kopp's sincere, stumbling journey toward freedom and a deeply satisfying relationship with God, you'll find renewed hope--and practical steps of recovery--for your own journey.

Soc sensible: Aprendre a conviure amb l'alta sensibilitat
by Anna RomeuUn llibre que explica com reconèixer aquest tret de personalitat i dona eines i tècniques a les persones amb alta sensibilitat per autoregular-se i viure de manera més serena. Ets molt autoexigent o perfeccionista? Et molesten els sorolls forts? Tens molta empatia i no suportes el conflicte? Dones moltes voltes a les coses i no suportes les converses superficials? El més probable és que tinguis alta sensibilitat. I què vol dir, això? Les persones que són altament sensibles són molt intenses des del punt de vista sensorial i emocional, i això fa que les seves pròpies reaccions els puguin arribar a portar a estats de saturació, de bloqueig o d'estrès si no saben com gestionar aquest tret de personalitat en el seu dia a dia. També són persones a qui els encanta ajudar els altres perquè els fa sentir bé, per aquest motiu els costa dir que no i se senten culpables quan no arriben a tot. Es calcula que una de cada quatre persones són altament sensibles. Un llibre que serà de gran ajuda per a les persones altament sensibles, per a aquells que hi conviuen o per a pares o mares amb nens amb alta sensibilitat.
