Summary

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.

A friend recommended this to me as I was embarking on Sober October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. It hadn’t really occurred to me to continue after October as I didn’t consider my drinking to be all that problematic - especially as I have recently cut down, more as part of a health and weight loss drive.

Well, as soon as I started listening, I was hooked! Ruby Warrington speaks my language and I immediately found it entertaining and amusing which is probably what drew me in and didn’t make me want to give up after the first few chapters or feel too uncomfortable with the premise.

There were so many lightbulb moments and quotes I wanted to steal that I decided to buy the hard copy so I could refer to it as many times as I like/need. Suffice to say it’s helped me on my Sober October journey so far but also led me to the decision to quit drinking altogether, something I’m not sure I’d have even considered doing without the eye opening messages conveyed in this book.

I’ve just ordered her first book Material Girl Mystical World and can’t wait to get started. Spirituality is another thing that I’m open to learning more about as I’m sure that Ruby’s down to earth, well researched and natural style will give me all the inspiration I need to choose the best path for me.

Bravo Ruby for starting a movement that will surely make a huge difference to anyone that it touches.

Ruby touched on everything I had been thinking about as I start to become Sober Curious. I thoroughly enjoyed her writing and her connection with her audience.

Couldn't stop listening.

What a clever and thoughtful way to address and think about your / my drinking hygiene.
I have listened to it once but I’m going to dive straight back in for another run through. That said, I’ve already experienced several social situations in my first week and survived / thrived. Who knew .?
Thank you so very much Ruby. I truly appreciate it.

If you think you are drinking too much then you are probably right. This book will provide you with insights in a unique way. Read it / listen to it.

Just what I needed.

Not just another essay about AA, this book goes beyond anecdotes to talk about alcohol in a holistic context. Sober Curious considers the spiritual aspects of our relationship with booze and how, as we elevate, it can cloud the connection we crave both to a higher source and to each other. Featuring both personal anecdotes about life in media when that industry was still flying and research on how alcohol affects the boy (as well as a look at alcohol in advertising!), this book will have you thinking about your relationship with drink differently.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking
