I still feel ill when I think of the Kite Runner.

If you can identify your window of vulnerability to needing it, that’s great! Build new routines and self-soothing strategies. Try a free 30 day yoga challenge on YouTube. Happy hour to me now is yoga hour.
Meditation, even just ten minutes, can bring wind down relief, instead of reaching for a drink.
I find just a low sugar slightly bitter bubbly AF drink can quench that desire to hold a drink, you know? A lot of drinking at the end of a hard day can be placebo. Ie, NOW I can relax holding my potion.
Try some early morning activities on weekends — an awesome hike with a great view, a ride to a beautiful beach, a water view sunrise then breakfast with a friend, a hard gym workout — to prove to yourself that not waking up feeling crap from alcohol is way better.

Yep it’s the parenting polar opposite of glass castle, but disturbed me just as much.

Hey I’m active in many bookclubs and we manage to get pretty deep in discussions without specific spoilers. But somehow I must have missed seeing a ‘spoiler’ tag on the original post, and the comment also wasn’t marked as a spoiler, otherwise I’d simply have skimmed over. Now I won’t bother reading the book.
