“I want to. I don't want to.” Five days to finally know where you stand with alcohol.
An honest, private look at what alcohol gives you, what it costs you and where you actually want to go. One short audio and one exercise a day, five days in a row.
Completely private · Instant access
Every evening, the same conversation.
I want to. I don't want to. Not tonight. Okay, maybe just one glass. And it's rarely just one.
From the outside, nobody would guess. You get things done, you take care of everyone, and the next day you perform a little extra, as if to prove there's no problem.
You've tried your own rules. Not before a certain time. Only at weekends. A break for a month. But nothing sticks.
And the hardest part is that you don't know what you want. You're scared to stop, and scared to carry on.
The goal isn't to stop drinking. It's to stop going back and forth.
You know where you stand with alcohol, in black and white and in your own words. You know what it actually gives you and what it takes. You've looked at your fears instead of letting them decide. And you've written a letter to yourself about where you want to go, and chosen one next step that feels possible.
This is for you who…
- tell yourself you won't drink tonight, and then do it anyway
- look like you have it all under control on the outside, but feel on bad terms with yourself inside
- know you drink more than you want to, but not whether you're ready to do anything about it
- want to look at this completely privately, without anyone having to know

It's completely private. Nobody needs to know you're doing this, and what you write is yours alone.
I know how scary it is to even think about stopping.
I'm Åsa-Malin Sandström, an addiction counselor with over 13 years of experience. I have worked at one of Sweden's highest-security prisons, at a rehab center, in outpatient care and with many private clients.
I know it from the inside too. I became addicted to alcohol at a very early age, and shame, anxiety and fear kept me trapped for many years. On November 1, 2010, at 34, I chose life. I have been sober ever since, and today I live a wonderful life of honesty, freedom and joy.
That's why I created this: a gentle first step where you can look at all of this in your own time, completely in private.
How has Åsa-Malin helped others?
“Åsa-Malin puts words to feelings that other people around me can't even understand. It makes me feel less alone and stronger. When things get hard, I think about what Åsa-Malin would have said, and that has helped me a lot.”
Sarah · former participant, You're Not Stuck“When I started my journey, my life felt pitch black. Åsa-Malin gave me hope when I could no longer see it myself. She lent me her belief in life until I slowly began to believe again.”
Lina · former client, years laterThis isn't for you if you're looking for a way to learn to drink in moderation.
Questions you might have
Do I have to stop drinking to do this?
No, you don't need to have decided anything at all. These five days are about taking an honest look at your situation, so you can then make a well-grounded decision about how you want to move forward.
I don't even know if I have a problem. Is this for me?
Yes, absolutely. If you do these five days honestly, you'll know afterwards whether this is a problem for you or not.
Is it really private?
Yes. Nobody needs to know you're doing this, and what you write in the workbook is yours alone.
Can I learn to drink in moderation after this?
That isn't what this course is about, and it isn't something I teach. You take an honest look at what alcohol does to your life, and then you choose your own direction.
How long do I have access?
You have 12 months to come back to the video and audios as often as you like. The workbook is yours to keep.
Five days. One honest look.
