Edited and with contributions by Lois Badey 'I have a secret.
Secrets can be dangerous. They make tell lies. You can lie to
others, but mostly, you lie to yourself...' - Janet Drawing from
his 35,000-member strong community, one of the country's most
successful sobriety coaches, Simon Chapple brings us real, raw,
relatable stories from individuals who've found joy in an
alcohol-free life. Powerful, healing, resonant and true, the
experiences in this unforgettable book will make a real impact on
anyone who is exploring their relationship with alcohol, or who
needs support, inspiration, or a reason to go sober. Featuring
contributions from some of the most well-known personalities in the
Sober Space, sharing their own extraordinary journies, some of
these stories are shocking, some are moving, some will make you
cringe and others will make you laugh out loud; all are inspiring
and powerfully motivating. The hope is that readers will see their
own lives reflected in these incredible narratives, and find the
courage to take a step forward into a new life. With a full
commentary from the author alongside each chapter, to provide an
easy understanding of the takeaways from each story, the book will
also carry QR codes that link directly to Simon's popular YouTube
channel to further help you on your journey to sober joy. Why not
invest in THE SOBER JOURNAL - a space for your own reflections,
marking your own journey to freedom and joy?

with the Fear of Intimacy, Fear of the Unknown, Fear of Change,
Fear of Rejection/Abandonment, Fear of
Conflict/Anger/Confrontation, Fear of Becoming a Burden, and Fear
of Dying. "Sit down and enjoy a down-to-earth conversation with a
wise man and a wise guy as they work through common, everyday
fears. Their simple wisdom is profound. Get refreshing "aha's: and
proven tools that can help us choose growth in the hard parts of
life." -David Newcomb MA, CACIII, NCC Psychologist "In The Seven
Deadly Fears, Edward Bear and his alter-ego, Tyler, with crisp and
succinct dialogue, reduce our most common fears to the mundane. Wit
and philosophy mix well to take the dread out of everyday plights.
Edward, please keep Tyler talking, we are not completely cured."
