I write about choosing sobriety and learning how to live well without alcohol.
AA works for some people. This book is for those it didn’t.
The View from a Windowless Basement is a book about discovering ways to find sobriety that are right for you.
It is written for people who tried traditional recovery models, including Alcoholics Anonymous, and were left feeling confused, discouraged, or unseen. Grounded in lived experience and research, it offers clarity, permission, and perspective for anyone seeking a life without alcohol, on their own terms.
Insight matters. Structure helps.
This companion workbook offers a place to respond to the ideas in The View from a Windowless Basement.
Each section mirrors a chapter from the book and includes simple prompts designed to support reflection without pressure. You can write, pause, skip, or return whenever you need. Use this workbook as a companion while you explore sobriety on your own terms.
Another Way Is Possible.
This book offers a 30-day alcohol-free experiment designed to help you step away from alcohol and notice what changes, without pressure to quit forever.
Each day includes a brief reflection and a gentle prompt focused on curiosity, clarity, and choice rather than willpower or rules. The goal isn’t to reach a conclusion, but to gather your own evidence about what a life without alcohol feels like, one day at a time.
Coming soon!
The conversation continues on None for Me
Weekly writing on staying sober, navigating real life without alcohol, and finding clarity beyond traditional recovery paths.
