§ Journey
Not AA, not sober-curious. A 90-day field manual.
The honest audit. The 30-day reset and what to expect physically week by week. The social architecture of telling people, navigating dinners, weddings, mates, your wife. The substitution problem. The relapse map and the three predictable failure points. The 90-day verdict and when DIY is enough versus when to call a GP. Behavioural protocol, not philosophy.
Begin →The 7-question test, the units, what your drinking is actually doing. The number you've been rounding down for years.
What to expect physically. Sleep, mood, energy week by week. The four predictable phases.
Telling people, navigating dinners, weddings, mates, your wife. Scripts that don't make it weird.
What you reach for instead. What works, what doesn't, what makes it worse. Why low/no beer is mostly a trap.
The three predictable failure points and how to plan around them. Weeks 6–9 are where most men go back.
What good looks like. When to keep going, when to stop, when to call a GP. The honest read at the end of the trial.
