You Don t Have to Quit: 20 Science-Backed Strategies to HelpYour

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Help your loved one drink less, reduce your stress, save your relationship

In a world that glorifies alcohol-from signature cocktails to craft beer-helping a loved one with a drinking problem feels like a losing battle. You've begged, bargained, and demanded they stop, only to see consumption ramp up and your relationship break down. This approach enforces a vicious cycle of confrontation, shame, and more drinking. Author and filmmaker Maureen Palmer has been there, and she's found a better way.

In You Don't Have to Quit, Palmer shifts the conventional abstinence-only mindset to one that encourages positive change and harm reduction. She interviews world experts who've created successful tools, techniques, and resources to help reduce or stop drinking entirely. Her twenty practical, science-backed strategies operationalize compassion and empathy-and healthy boundaries-to help your loved one drink less.

With refreshing candor, Palmer shares her hard-won experience to debunk powerful myths that breed shame and secrecy and lead to relationship-killing conflict. This is the road map out of combat into collaboration and reduced consumption: harm reduction for the relationship too. Whether drinking less is a shared goal, or you want to influence your loved one in that direction, this book shows you how.
