A New Way To Go Alcohol Free From Dustin Dunbar, Author Of ‘Youre Doing Great! (And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me)’

Millions of people struggle with their relationship with alcohol, yet traditional recovery tools and narratives often feel outdated or inaccessible.

In “You’re Doing Great! (And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me),” author Dustin Dunbar offers a fresh, humorous, and deeply personal look at alcohols grip on society and how individuals can break free without subscribing to conventional labels of addiction.

Released last year by Wonderwell/GreenLeaf, Dunbars book dismantles the myths surrounding alcohol — challenging long-held beliefs like “real men drink” and “one drink wont hurt.”

He describes alcohol as a deceptive force, likening its marketing to the cigarette ads of the past. Dunbar, a former model, PhD, investor, and entrepreneur, shares candid stories of how alcohol took hold of his life, relationships, and career despite his outward success.

One of the books standout features is its Detox Timeline, which guides readers through the crucial early days, weeks, and months of an alcohol-free lifestyle. Dunbar also rejects the traditional notion of addiction, refusing to use the term “alcoholic” and instead advocating for a more empowering perspective on change.

Dunbar says his journey was inspired by “This Naked Mind” by Annie Grace, and the pair are set to partner on an unprecedented new initiative — one that guarantees people will gain control over their drinking or receive their money back. Their radically new approach aims to challenge the old recovery model, which often relies on lifelong struggle and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
