This Naked Mind by Annie Grace – great for understanding the psychology of drinking and rewiring your mindset.The Easy Way to Stop Drinking by Allen Carr – straightforward, motivational, and very popular.
These are two that I read, and honestly opened my eyes to a TON of things.. Very worth the read.
