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.
The conversation continues on None for Me
