About this listen

Kate Gunn was a social drinker, usually having a few drinks about three nights a week. But she had an inkling that alcohol was holding her back from getting on top of her life and the hangovers were getting worse.

So when Kate’s partner had to take a break from alcohol for a month, she decided to dip her toe in the water in solidarity with him and try being a non-drinker too. Not long into her transformational journey, Kate discovered that breaking free from alcohol improved every single aspect of her life: from relationships to health to work to happiness.

In The Accidental Soberista, Kate chronicles the challenges and obstacles on the path to giving herself the greatest gift she has ever received – freedom from alcohol.

Whether you’re sober-curious or want to remove the final obstacle in the way of your own health and life goals, this could be just the journey for you too.

I enjoyed this book very much. Has made me look at my own habitual drinking and make some positive changes. Definitely worth a read. It is not preachy but just states facts and scenarios about Kates experience with alcohol .

I have just finished this inspiring book. Honestly I am not a big reader ! Wish I was, but never enough hours or I start the first page and my eyes close from pure exhaustion and I have to start again the next day. So I decided to listen to this book on audible. Well I couldn’t put it down ! I have laughed out loud and cried !! I feel like you are literally talking to me! I can relate to everything you have said. I am truly inspired and want to thank you for your honest account of drinking and the journey on giving it up.. Amazing. Inspiring and highly recommend.

Highly recommend

This was an engaging insight into a “normal” women’s struggle with choosing not to drink. I identified with her relationship to alcohol. She touches on how we don’t as a society even question our unhealthy attitude to alcohol believing it’s the norm and what you do as a teenager being the right if passage into adulthood and continuing to drink on almost every occasion. I have read quite a few books of women choosing sobriety but found that those writers really did have a “drinking problem” and I couldn’t identify as much with that.
This book has only confirmed that I do not need alcohol and life will be better without it. I am excited now to embrace my soberista life and am now not ashamed to admit it to anyone. A weight has been lifted off my shoulders! This book has helped me greatly to reach this point. Thank you Kate!!

Thank you Kate Gunn for helping me join the soberista movement!!
