Publisher's Summary

In The Accidental Soberista, Kate chronicles her journey and shares the wonderful gift she feels she has been given. Could it be that ditching the booze might not be a chore or a loss? Could it, in fact, be the best decision you will ever make for yourself and your life?

There wasn't one major reason that Kate Gunn decided to give up alcohol, more a few minor ones. She had an inkling that alcohol was holding her back from getting on top of her life. Plus the hangovers were getting worse. No longer just a dull headache throughout the day. At the worst times, entire weekends wiped out by one fun night she could hardly remember.

Kate was a social drinker, usually having a few (or more) drinks three nights in any week. She loved red wine by the fire and cold beers in the sunshine. She couldn't possibly imagine actually going ‘out out’ and not drinking. Like many people in Ireland, she had been drinking pretty much since she was 16 years old. Alcohol was part of life.

But not long into her alcohol-free journey, Kate discovered that breaking free from alcohol improved every single aspect of her life - from relationships to health to work to happiness. She’s been to gigs, festivals, dinners, nights out and parties - and had fun at all of them. Plus she actually remembered them! Best of both worlds.

If you’ve stopped drinking; read this!

This book supported my soba journey and gave me the confidence and courage to keep going. The non-confrontational approach, along with the statistics and stories was wonderful! Thank you

I Loved this book!

This book gives an honest, beautiful and optimistic proactive approach to living life without alcohol. It definitely does not come across in any way a preachy or finger wagging. Giving a realistic way to approach life with no alcohol, the positives, pit falls and funny stories made it so easy to read and also reflect on. Kate Gunn has a way with words and story telling that makes you finish a chapter and then say “ ok, I’ll read one more”.... before you know it, it’s finished!

A funny, entertaining and honest truth!

Well… I can’t unhear what I heard in this book.
I was already sober curious, and a friend recommended this wonderful read! Thank you Kate! I can’t wait to begin my sober journey and live a happier and healthier life!
