Awesome author perfectly revealed 1 of alcohol’s main SCAMs

I’ve done a ton of reading and writing about quitting alcohol over the past year and a half, and sometimes I think I’ve seen it all.

But every once in a while, someone comes up with a new way or word to describe either alcohol’s scammy, manipulative nature or the wonderful life you experience after quitting and I take note.

Recently, I’ve written about:

• How one of the world’s biggest-name supermodels perfectly described the benefit of quitting alcohol at 41
• The perfect word that model/actress Cara Delavigne chose to describe sober life

While it’s great to reflect on all the gains you realize after you ditch booze for good, it’s also important to stay cognizant of the various traps that alcohol sets to draw you back in.

One of my favorite self-improvement authors did just that recently, describing perfectly the trap that keeps people locked in the alcohol cage long after they realize they need to get out.

Let me tell you about it.
