About this listen

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.

Overall the book is a really interesting book but there are some chapters on spiritualism and similar things that drone on like a boring grandmother giving you a lecture.

I was somewhat surprised how little time Ruby spent talking about the negative effects of alcohol consumption given that this evidence is probably one of the biggest reasons why some of us will give up alcohol.

The damning evidence about alcohol as a poison is almost the reverse of social proof, it's a really good reason to stop. To gloss over it and let the reader find their own evidence seemed a little lazy.

I was interested in the subject matter and listen to the book all the way to the end so I guess I'm on my way to a more sober future with rubies help.

Long but worth it.

Ruby's take on the "Why" of getting sober is inspiring and enlightening. Loved every bit of the audio book and will now read the hard copy.

So many "Aha" moments!!!

Ruby reads and writes this book eloquently. it delivers a non biased perspective on being sober without shaming the practice or people who indulge. I am slightly more sober curious after reading this and will take that into my spiritual journey moving forward. Thanks Ruby!

A well rounded discussion on the benefits of sobri

Loved it. Relaxing to listen to in the car in traffic. Not the big AA judgemental thing. Insightful and practical. Nothing too hard or onerus to do to achieve sober curious goals.

Very soothing easy going non judgemental book.

I’ve read other books about alcohol reduction etc and they didn’t really help. This book has really changed my perception about alcohol and I’m 4 days sober. Although I don’t consider myself an ‘alcoholic’ I definitely find it hard to say no to just one more each and every time I drink. I do stop at 2 but I’m tired of feeling like alcohol is a toxic friend that’s bad for me. I want to be the boss of my life and this book has helped me to put alcohol in its place.

Enjoyable book that has really inspired me
