    About this audiobook

    Would life be better without alcohol?

    It’s the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a “problem” with alcohol or not. After all, we yoga. We green juice. We meditate. We self-care. And yet, come the end of a long work day, the start of a weekend, an awkward social situation, we drink. One glass of wine turns into two turns into a bottle. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it’s hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel… terrible.

    How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Really different, it turns out. Really better. Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement. 

    Drawing on research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Sober Curious is a radical take down of the myths that keep so many of us drinking. Inspiring, timely, and blame free, Sober Curious is both conversation starter and handbook—essential information that empowers listeners to transform their relationship with alcohol, so we can lead our most fulfilling lives.

      Great book. I hadn't drank for 3 weeks when I listened to this audiobook, 95% rang very true to me and is really a more articulate version of my own thoughts. All of the life improvements she spoke of I am currently experiencing. It was very very strange that in the past year I have naturally gravitated towards many of the 'alternative' things she spoke of- for example sound therapy is profound and reduces me to tears. I will actually listen to this a second time- it is quite a short listen but a lot to take it.

      This was the best book, by far, about the benefits of quitting drinking.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed how the book covers social drinkers who are not alcoholics but curious about the pros and cons of not drinking. The author is highly relatable, friendly and the book is very organized.

      Loved this book! Thought provoking and helps to re evaluate priorities.
    • 5/5
      Found this thought-provoking, and the chatty style made for a quick read.This is writing aimed especially at those of us who would regard ourselves as ‘regular’ rather than binge / problem drinkers. To question why we drink & consider alcohol as a treat when, as Ruby sees it, it is a poison that acts as a depressant, affects sleep, raises anxiety and ... ... ...She talks of the ‘Now Age’ of a growing awareness of people wanting to make a positive contribution to our fragile world. Of a materialistic/consumerist society that is geared to suppress the many & exploit the planet to make a few very rich. And suggests that to choose to remove alcohol is to remove a shackle that we inherited from our parents, peers and society. A fresh way of seeing the role of alcohol that has given me food for thought.As an insomniac l borrowed this book because of the tag-line offering ‘blissful sleep’. Ruby suggests that sugar interrupts and affects the quality of sleep. And I can report that 12 days in without sugary desserts & alcohol my night-time hamster-wheel racing anxious mind has quietened a little, the quality of my sleep has improved a lot, oh - and I’ve lost 5lbs. Thank you Ruby.
