Publisher's Summary
Ever sworn off alcohol for January and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think there's 'no point' in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us.
Before embracing sobriety, Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish cycle of drink, horrible decisions and hangovers, during which she had her fair share of 'drunk tank' jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures.
'I discovered that I was about a million times happier sober than I ever had been while drinking. As were the hundreds of sober pals I picked up along the way. I found myself with dozens more hours in the week, heaps more energy, £20K more money over three and a half years, deepened friendships, revived family relationships, better skin, a tighter body, tanned legs for the first time ever, the ability to sleep for eight uninterrupted hours, a bone-deep sense of well-being, a totally turned-around positive outlook and an infinitely more successful career. What's not to like?!'
This inspirational, aspirational and highly relatable narrative champions the benefits of sobriety with a three-pronged approach combining the author's personal experience, factual reportage and contributions from expert sources and self-help advice for anyone who wants to reduce their alcohol intake or eliminate it completely. The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober is the new bible of sobriety.

Can not recommend this book highly enough !
I loved the raw honesty of this book. I think covered so many areas of getting sober and it gave me a laugh along the way.
I think this book would be great for everyone who is attempting to ditch the booze for good !
I honestly didn’t want it to end.

Started great but became a lecture
Thee quarters in it became a list of who to call mingled with righteousness. Didn’t bother finishing it.

A very thought provoking read.
Catherine bravely shares her story with the desire to gently get people to question their own drinking habits and to consider a life without (or with less) alcohol. An honest, at times humbling read that most if not all readers will identify with. I highly recommend!

Inspiring
I thought this book was very well written and narrated. As someone who has recently realised the relationship with alcohol can be a bad one is amazing to know im not the only one. I could relate to so many of these instances, even being a male.
This book has given me plenty of tips to help me stay sober!
