Hello Derek, Thanks for this insightful post. I'm not a beer drinker, but every night I enjoy a non-alcoholic sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. For me, it's the ritual that makes it so satisfying. So, along the lines of spirituality, I've just been interviewed on the Fit for Joy podcast. https://fitforjoy.org/podcast It's a spiritual take on my alcohol minimization journey. Just thought I'd share. All the very best in this Sober October. Susan
This was a great read and I believe you are correct - that our connection to something greater is the key to prevention and recovery. My dad was a follower of Bill W. In the 12 steps, I think 4 or maybe 5-ish talk about 'a power greater than ourselves', and even mention 'God'. This might turn some off, but however you define a 'power greater than yourself' you know you are not alone on the journey.
I will be looking for both the book you cite and the agave spirit! Thanks Derek.
