SOBRIETY BOOKS, PODCASTS & APPS
Whether you’re cutting back or cutting out booze, you're sure to find some resources to help here among our favourite books, podcasts and apps
So have a good browse through the lists we’ve put together for you. They’re like recovery support aids you can take with you on the go ... whether that’s listening to a podcast on the road or pulling an app out of your pocket whenever you need it.
Many of the books, podcasts and apps below are written or created by people with lived experience of alcohol harm, and in that way they can offer you a type of peer support. Hearing stories from people who know what you're going through and are willing to share their experiences and offer their tips, successes and hope can be invaluable – no matter what stage you're at in your own journey. Even hearing about their tough times can help you feel less alone. Other books and more below are by experts, psychologists and doctors on topics from mental health and trauma to mindfulness and other helpful strategies. And there's even some inspiring fiction in there too.
