Sober Truths

The Making of an Honest Woman

Old-timers in 12-step programs say that if you want to stay sober, you only have to change one thing: your whole life. Sober Truths: The Making of an Honest Woman recounts how one woman did just that.

Jill Kelly's personal stories describe the journey as two decades of drinking and despair gave way to a richly rewarding sober life. Her demons did not go quietly when she put the bottle down. Loneliness, anxiety, distrust of others - they were all still there. This memoir tells how she has learned to be with those demons and not drink, to let go of the jealous dramas of the past and embrace a new life of peace. Along the way, Kelly reinvents herself, becoming a visual artist, starting a successful business, and developing deep friendships and a satisfying spiritual life. At the same time, she faces the challenges of emotional eating and her sober ambivalence about sexual relationships.

This audiobook offers hope to those who cannot imagine a life without alcohol by someone who has recreated hers.

I’m so sorry for the Author

All those situation in this book make me feel deeply sorry for the Authors life. How I wished for her wishes to come into fruition at some point or for her to turn to religion as a solution. Anger arises in me for the abysmal way each man treated her and I am truly sorry for that those who didn’t not regret their actions those men are not men remember that they were never it from the beginning. I’m so sorry and I pray for consolation in the authors remaining life.

Wonderful listen

The honesty and transparency of this book spoke to me. Jill's voice and the way she told her story was beautiful. As a woman beginning her own sober journey, Sober Truths made me feel not so alone.
