"Ruby Warrington leads us into a new vision of what our lives can be like without alcohol--one where we can deepen our health, reclaim our power, and improve our effectiveness in all areas of modern life. All while still having fun and enjoying a greater sense of fulfillment." -- Yung Pueblo, The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter
Do you often find yourself wondering...why am I ordering a second drink? Why does every situation revolve around drinking? Would life, and my well-being, be better without alcohol?
These are the nagging questions more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a "problem" with alcohol or not. 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. What if we moved beyond turning to drinking to fuel our joy and happiness and started to become intoxicated by life beyond the bottle?
Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from acclaimed writer and editor Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the sobriety movement. Drawing on research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Sober Curious takes down the myths that keep so many of us drinking and offers a mindful and transformative path forward. Warrington provides answers to some FAQs like:
- Is it possible to socialize sober in today's culture?
- How am I supposed to date or maintain relationships sober?
- What are the triggers of FOMA (Fear of Missing Alcohol)?
- How is alcohol affecting my sleep?
- Will life be boring without booze?
By helping us understand why we often turn to drinking in the first place, Sober Curious intimately and compassionately changes the way we view our relationship with alcohol through self-reflection and self-realization. Both a conversation starter and a handbook, Sober Curious empathetically moves us forward, one day, and one less drink, at a time.
