When retired party girl and popular therapist Amanda White admitted she was an alcoholic, it wasn't because she had done something outrageous while under the influence, like land herself in jail or get married in Vegas. It was because she realized three things:
1. Alcohol was making her life worse.
2. Moderation wasn't helping.
3. She could not be a therapist if she continued to use alcohol to numb her life. Something needed to change—not just her relationship with alcohol, but her relationship with herself.

Choosing not to drink can be daunting. It's everywhere in our culture, our socializing, and our destressing. And it can seem black or white: you drink, or you don't (and if you don't, people ask why). That's where "Not Drinking Tonight" comes in. Judgement-free and relatable, Amanda helps you unpack your relationship with alcohol by showing you how to:
1. Find out why you drink. Whether it's a glass of wine after work or a weekly bar crawl, your drinking habits can be the result of everything from biology to trauma.
2. Heal your relationship with alcohol. Understand how your relationships have been affecting your life, and learn how to set boundaries and create true self-care.
3. Build the sober life you love. Learn what comes next—how to maintain your social life, navigate sex and relationships, and love yourself.

Not Drinking Tonight isn't a program to stop drinking. It's the first book to help you address the root issues that cause you to reach for a drink, and create a life you love—one that is not perfect, but is messy and real and one you are fully present for.
