Summary

'Stone cold sober.' Sounds horrible, doesn't it? Hard, icy. Brrrrr. No bloody ta.

However, as the millions who choose to stay sober now know, the propaganda around drinking and sobriety is wonky. Sober doesn't feel stony, or cold.

Retired wreckhead Catherine Gray, author of surprise best seller The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, is now in her ninth sober year and has learnt a damn sight more.

This hotly anticipated sequel enlists the help of experts and case studies, turning a curious, playful gaze onto provocative questions. Is alcohol a parenting aid? Why are booze and cocaine such a horse and carriage? Once an addict, always an addict? How do you feel safe—from alcohol, others and yourself—in sobriety?

Whether you're a dedicated boozehound, flirting with teetotalling or already sober, this witty, gritty listen may just change how you think about alcohol forever.

A fantastic and inspirational listen!

I was inspired and became a firm 'sober-curious' after Catherine's brilliant first book and this follow up did not disappoint. Easily understandable but packed full of facts and insights, this book could quite possibly take you places you had never considered. Thank you Catherine!

Really needed this to help with a triggering alcohol holiday

The speech was a bit all over the place, words sometimes muddled and the rhythm was a bit off.

Another fantastic listen ❤

Thank you Catherine for for more fantastic sober stories of hope, joy and sunshine.
I'm 8 months sober with the help of these books, AA and the rest of the sober community.
These audiables have without a doubt made those times inbetween meetings bearable, those shakey moments, the times I need reminding why I'm doing this. You are my torch in that hole, I'm out now, thank you with all my heart ❤

What an eye opener!

A brutally honest description of the humiliation, desperation and struggle people face when addicted and what it takes to overcome addiction. This book evaluates the research showing why some addicts had the odds stacked against them from an early age, even when coming from a seemingly stable background. Finally it shows how our society encourages alcoholism and discriminates against the sober. A beautifully written and narrated book .
