‘Truthful, modern and real’ – Stylist ‘Brave, witty and brilliantly written’ – Marie Claire ‘Hilarious, sharp, spitfire writing’ – Sacha Z. Scoblic, Senior Editor at The Atlantic and author of Unwasted: My Lush Sobriety Ever sworn off alcohol for a month and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think there’s ‘no point’ in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us. 64% of Brits want to drink less. Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of ‘drunk tank’ jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures. But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups. In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on society’s drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies. Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking, this book is about the escape, and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined. Whether you’re a hopelessly devoted drinker, merely sober-curious, or you’ve already ditched the drink, you will love this book. ‘A riveting, raw, yet humorous memoir with actionable advice. A truly unique blend of storytelling and science that holds a universe of hope.’ – Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind ‘Like listening to your best friend teach you to be sober. Lighthearted but serious, it’s packed with ideas, tools, tips and, most importantly, reasons for living a sober life. This book is excellent.’- Eric Zimmer, host of podcast The One You Feed ‘Gray’s fizzy writing succeeds in making this potentially boring-as-hell subject both engaging and highly seductive’ -
