Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol

At last, here is an approach to giving up alcohol that doesn't tell you off, wag a finger at you or try to make you feel guilty. It is ALL positive. The drift is that giving up alcohol is a decision you make about your life that will give you a clear head, a healthier body and a better life all round. It's not about being strict with yourself, it's about setting yourself free. The author writes a personal story in there that really helps you to locate yourself within this brilliant and simple approach, with tips and hints about getting through the hard part - overcoming the social pressures.

This book describes itself as a consideration and discussion of the possible benefits of reducing alcohol consumption however by page 30 it is very clear that the author does not drink at all and that the book is geared towards helping and encouraging you to give up alcohol totally. This does not interest me and so the book felt like a polemic and criticism of my choices. However if you are wanting to give up totally and want a full navel gazing analysis of why you enjoy a glass of wine (but should not) then it would be the book for you!

This is the best book I have read this year so far. Ruby is an inspiring soul writing from a place of love and light. This books is not only inspiring and engaging with the idea of not drinking alcohol (which I don't anymore) but also connects this idea to wider topics and areas related. Truly inspiring and educating read by a contemporary voice which we should all listen to and take on board.

Very readable and even more relatable. I have combined this with ‘Alcohol Explained’ to start my new life of sobriety. Thank you!

I coukd really relate to this book and it has been my trusted ally on my sober curious journey that started a month ago. It helps keep me on track with a mix of anecdotal and factual information.
