If alcohol is supposed to make life better… why does it so often make everything worse?
If you've ever wondered why you keep drinking—even when it costs you your peace, your health, or your relationships—You're Doing Great! is the compassionate, no-nonsense guide you’ve been waiting for.
You’re not broken. You’re not weak. And you’re definitely not alone.
Dustin Dunbar once had everything he thought he needed: a loving wife, two beautiful daughters, a psychology degree, and properties spanning the globe. Outwardly, he was thriving. Inwardly, he was trapped—hooked on the belief that alcohol was the glue holding it all together.
“Real men drink.”
“You’re more fun with a buzz.”
“You’ve got this under control.”
Sound familiar? These are just a few of the seductive, insidious lies alcohol—and the culture surrounding it—feeds us every day. Dunbar believed them for years, until his life began to unravel. Only when he lost almost everything did he begin to see the truth: alcohol isn’t just a substance—it’s a system. A carefully engineered illusion. A matrix.
In this raw, funny, and radically honest book, Dunbar draws from his own journey and his background in psychology to help you break out of that matrix and finally confront the truth about alcohol. Like Quit Like a Woman gave women a bold new path to freedom, You're Doing Great! offers a powerful lifeline to anyone—especially men—ready to take their life back.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Dismantle the lies that keep you stuck in the cycle.
Understand the emotional and spiritual toll of drinking (even “just socially”).
Push past shame and build true, lasting self-worth.
Uncover how marketing, media, and toxic masculinity manipulate your choices.
Explore alternatives to AA that actually align with you.
Cultivate the mindset to live fully, clearly, and alcohol-free.
This isn’t just a book about quitting drinking. It’s a book about remembering who you are—and learning how to thrive without the lies that have dimmed your light for far too long.
You're Doing Great! is your invitation to stop numbing, start healing, and become the version of yourself you were always meant to be.
