The Sober Shift

A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life

De: Suzanne Warye

Narrado por: Suzanne Warye

Live fully, abundantly, and free every day without alcohol with this inspiring guide from wellness writer Suzanne Warye, the creator behind the Sober Mom Life podcast and My Kind of Sweet.

Waking up with another hangover as the thirty-nine-year-old mother of a newborn, Suzanne Warye decided enough was enough. It was time to quit alcohol for good. In the years since, Suzanne has uncovered the myth of moderation and the limitations of the hitting rock bottom narrative. Today, she is a model for hundreds of thousands of people around the world who are embracing her brand of joyful sobriety.

Too many of us are taught not to question or examine our relationship with drinking until we’re addicted, or until we experience an intervention or another life-shattering consequence. We’re encouraged to enjoy this highly addictive substance “responsibly.” The Sober Shift is about finding true abundance—as a better partner and a more present parent, and as the architect of a life you love—without buying into the lies of “wine o’clock.”

Suzanne knows that many of us fear that, without the crutch of alcohol, we might not know how to relax, decompress, or spend quality time with our loved ones. She’s been there. And she’s here to tell you that a good life awaits when we walk away from the bottle.

Written with her trademark flair and engaging sense of humor, blending memoir with takeaways and cultural insights, and featuring delicious mocktail recipes to celebrate the seasons—including Virgin Rosemary Moscow Mule, Sparkling Thyme Cider, Cranberry Orange Fizz, Tart Cherry Spritz, and The Soberita—this affirming guide will help you find freedom from alcohol.

Your life is waiting on the other side.

A beautiful story and a breath of fresh air

I listened to the entire book in one day. Driving, doing dishes, walking my dog… Suzanne told a beautiful and emotional story and was so calm and peaceful I could feel my cortisol lowering. Thank you for sharing your story and the story of other strong women as well. I am 150 days sober and I think this book will forever become a new favorite in the quit-lit hall of fame. Thank you again, this was such a joy to listen to.

Must Read if you’ve ever questioned your relationship with Alcohol

As someone who quit drinking 10 months ago, this book was affirming and empowering. You’ll wish you would’ve read it sooner.

Excellent book on gray area drinking

Suzanne does a wonderful job making moms feel heard and understood. She explains gray area drinking and that you don’t need to hit rock bottom to qualify to be sober.

Her honesty and non judgmental attitude

I loved that this shows you that you don’t have to hit rock bottom to become alcohol free. Life is so much better without alcohol.

Love this book and message

This is an important book for anyone who is questioning their relationship with alcohol or want to see what life might look like by removing alcohol. With humor and wet, Suzanne captures her audience the same way she does with her podcast. She shows the bright light as sobriety and how by removing alcohol you are not living a life of deprivation.
