Best Quit Lit & Podcast List
This blog contains our personal recommendations of books and podcasts to help you along your journey of changing your relationship with alcohol.
Quit Lit is a genre of books dedicated to the subject of quitting alcohol and other drugs. There is nothing more helpful and heartwarming than learning from others who have either taken the same path that you are now starting on, or who are experts in this space.
Your toolkit for supporting yourself in sobriety will be added to with each book you read.
