This engaging guide offers strategies to help couples who drink together get sober together. Are you and your partner curious about sobriety or managing your drinking? In Sober Love, Dr. Joseph Nowinski offers practical advice and proven strategies to help couples end their relationship with alcohol-and redefine their relationship with each other. Alcohol misuse can become an insidious problem for many couples. As a psychologist with extensive experience in designing effective treatment programs, Dr. Nowinski describes how and why people, and couples, develop problems with alcohol. He lays out a step-by-step approach to helping readers assess their own level of drinking and develop an action plan to address it. This plan can be tailored to an individual's and a couple's journey. Crucially, Dr. Nowinski discusses common challenges to maintaining sobriety and outlines strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Sober Love is an engaging and nonjudgmental resource that can help you and your partner begin your journeys to better habits and a happier relationship.
Joseph Nowinski is an internationally recognized clinical psychologist. He is the author of Recovery after Rehab: A Guide for the Newly Sober and Their Loved Ones.
