Author Bryan Wempen had career success, a family, and twenty-seven years of drinking when he began to question whether he could stop. Finally in May 2010, after years of dry and drunk periods, he couldn’t hide from himself any longer. He asked a longtime sober friend for help. He has been successfully sober since then.

Bryan is a leading voice for addiction and health recovery, sharing how messy, awkward, and beautiful life can be. His latest release, Sober Is Better, is the second book in his well-received Note to Self series.

By Bryan Wempen

When do you feel that enough is enough and something has to change in your life? It can happen anywhere—for me it was in a taxi in Chicago. Since that moment, I have been working on self-awareness, discovering lessons about myself and developing tools to live a better life on life’s terms.

The lessons in ‘Note to Self’ are what I use every day to live my life. I live imperfectly with an open mind and heart, discovering happiness, self-awareness and serenity.
