Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you know about alcohol is a lie. Dustin Dunbar had it all. A beautiful wife, two sweet baby girls, a degree in psychology, and properties around the world—the building blocks of a nascent real estate empire. All the while, he happily believed every lie alcohol told him: “Real men drink.” “One drink won’t kill you.” “You’re the life of the party.” “You can’t stop.” He believed these lies and many others until it was too late. Because of his addiction, he risked everything he valued most and nearly lost everyone he cared for—until he started to figure out that most of what we experience with alcohol is completely fabricated, a big lie packaged with bright lights and big names to distract us from the truth. Dunbar calls this non-reality “the alcohol matrix,” and it took him years to break out of it and finally start enjoying a life free of alcohol addiction. Just as Holly Whitaker offered women a radical path to sobriety in her New York Times bestselling Quit Like a Woman, Dunbar combines his own experiences with his extensive background in psychology to expose the lies we all too willingly accept about alcohol and interrogates the part culture plays in reinforcing these lies, particularly for men—and shows readers how they too can break free from alcohol addiction.
