THE ALCOHOL EXPERIMENT
DAY BY DAY JOURNAL
"In The Alcohol Experiment, Annie offers a judgment-free action plan for anyone who's ever wondered what life without alcohol is like. The rules are simple: Abstain from drinking for 30 days and just see how you feel. Annie arms her readers with the science-backed information to address the cultural and emotional conditioning we experience around alcohol. The result is a mindful approach that puts you back in control and permanently stops cravings."

Hi, I'm Melanie
I live and work in our beautiful city of Ann Arbor. As much as I appreciate A2, I never stopped to realize how fortunate we are to have an incredible network of local small businesses that support health and wellness.
I began my alcohol-free journey, coincidentally, after my son turned 18. I found myself with more time than I knew what to do with (so much time opens up without alcohol). That’s when I created Sober & Social Ann Arbor, a community that celebrates alcohol free living and normalizes "not drinking" in an alcohol obsession society.
Now, it’s my mission, and my life’s work, to help others experience the same freedom, vitality and opportunity that comes from choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle.
