Thank god they actually taste good

I was NOT a alcoholic (isn't that what everyone says?) but it ran in my family and I was starting to head that direction, so I cut it out entirely. Some sections are great but not for me, like the social strategies section (I'm already an ass and can tell people to f off lol), but how to manage triggers and temptations was so important to me that I've already lessoned to that section twice. The recipes are to die for, the margarita mocktail (I think its called), 10/10.

Great book, recommend fully.
