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.

wish I could get my money back.

The term sober curious has no place in my vocabulary. I tried to finish it, but couldn't. After listening to three books before this one about quitting a 100% and this one talking about still being able to drink as sober curious just didn't work for me. Maybe it will help you, good luck!! Wishing everyone the best. please keep in mind that the author said she only drank a couple of times a week and still drinks to this day, just not often, she don't say how often she drinks currently.

Abusing the F bomb

I am almost finished with this self-help book and think that what Ms. Warrington has to say is very intelligent and meaningful - but I'm starting to flinch every time I hear "f...." incorporated into the text. It's gratuitous and meaningless and does not help her message at all.

I'm not a prude and not afraid of strong language used in the right context, but what the heck? It's like she's trying to prove her toughness with crude language. It spoils listening to what is otherwise written with intelligence and sincerity and would prevent me from recommending this book to anyone else.

Not relatable

This book was odd, as she didn't seem to have an issue with alcohol so why did she write it? She's not qualified on the science of alcohol, and not an alcoholic... So I'm not sure why anyone would read this book, as it's not a scientific book, and her memoirs aren't relatable to the alcoholic.

Highly relatable.

I am joining in on this sober curious journey. Ruby Warrington’s insight connected me with my split off thinking and helped me ground in the truth of my self-awareness and well-being. Highly recommend this to others having trouble being true to themselves consistently.

if sober curious....

this is a good read. wether your goal is to become sober sober or just reevaluate how much alcohol you currently consume.... I am about to begin listening for the second time.
