Most relevant
First book I've listened to about sobriety and I found it really informative. I loved how she also touched on the intersectionality of alcohol and minority groups in society, but in a way that aimed to project the voices of people in those groups rather that speak for them. One thing to note (and not a criticism at all, just something that might be worth noting if you live outside the UK) is that most of the context is within the UK. But I'm sure the social media pages make up for this and provide ways to find more about sobriety in your own country.

More depth than I expected

Such an easy and inspiring listen. Millie provides facts with anecdotal life stories and reframes the narrative of what it means to be sober.
