Description
Going sober will make you happier, healthier, wealthier, slimmer and sexier. Despite all of these upsides, its easier said than done. This inspirational, aspirational and highly relatable narrative champions the benefits of sobriety; combining the authors personal experience, factual reportage, contributions from experts and self-help advice.
Ever sworn off alcohol for a month and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think theres no point in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us.
Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of drunk tank jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures.
But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups.
In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on societys drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies.
Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking, this book is about the escape, and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined. Whether youre a hopelessly devoted drinker, merely sober-curious, or youve already ditched the drink, you will love this book.
