Today I Am Sober

Today I'm talking about the top 10 books that have helped me during my recovery and I'm going to share with you what they are and why I love them and why I continue to read them now.

I would love, love, love to know what books you've read that have helped you on your journey in sobriety.

Many of mine are actually AA books but there are also lots of non-AA books that have really helped me. 

Please tell me of any book that has help...

Are you being bombarded with emails from retailers with huge discounts in the Boxing Day sales? Do you love clothes, but not the clothes in your wardrobe and are perhaps looking for a new item to add? Then join me for this conversation about all things clothes with Loulou Storey, a Style Coach who founded the Style Agency ’The Styling Storey’ 4 years ago.

Did you hurt your family in your drinking days? I know I did. Especially my glorious big brother. If you’d have asked me at the time I would have said I loved him dearly. But my intentions certainly didn’t match my actions.

Getting sober for me changed everything, including my relationship with my husband. What used to be acceptable was no longer acceptable. I tried changing him. It didn’t work. Instead of trying to change him, I focussed on making myself happy.

Fortunately our marriage has survived my ...

Isabelle Griffith is a woman with such calm energy I simply had to have her on the show. As someone who's always rushing around I hoped that by chatting to Isabelle some of her calming energy would rub off.

As I know from my journey in recovery you don’t get more sober by sitting next...

John Lamerton is a “routine freak” - or so his wife says and after chatting with him I tend to agree (in the nicest possible way!). John loves a routine and his new book “Routine Machine” explores how you can too. In fact John promises that you can get results!

On this episode we're talking all things, boundaries:
what they are, how to create them and what to do when they're not serving you.

Now I want to warn you and make something super clear. You don't have to have therapy to sort out your boundaries because you may listen to this episode and think, Arrghh, Liz needs therapy! Perhaps I do need some more therapy, but perhaps you may think: “Oh my God, I need therapy too!”
