Are you looking for books ON recovery or books to occupy your mind so you don’t drink (??? Sorry, not sure what your DOC is.)

I actually just picked up a book recently: “Not Drinking Tonight, by Amanda E White”. It’s not a traditional “don’t drink” kinda book. It’s more of a great collection of ways to create a better sober life and self-work advice. It’s worth a read.

The best book I read was Drink:The Intimate a relationship Between Women and Alcohol (or is it between alcohol and women??? Google will find it)
It is part mémoire and part science.
I HIGHLY recommend

Some good books listed already so I’ll try not to duplicate. High sobriety, dry, my fair junkie, nothing good can come from this, the night of the gun, running random road.

One that helps me is Allen Carrs EASYWAY to control alcohol. Really helps change your perspective about alcohol and make you realise you’re not giving something up but gaining a life again.
