The new book from Catherine Gray - icon of the Quit Lit movement and
author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober
"Stone cold sober."
As the millions who choose to stay sober now know, the propaganda around
drinking and sobriety is wonky. Sober doesn't feel stony, or cold.
Retired wreckhead Catherine Gray, author of surprise bestseller The
Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, is now in her eighth sober year and
has learned a damn sight more.
This hotly anticipated sequel enlists the help of experts and case
studies, turning a curious, playful gaze onto provocative questions. Is
alcohol a parenting aid? Why are booze and cocaine such a horse and
carriage? Once an addict, always an addict? How do you feel safe - from
alcohol, others and yourself - in sobriety?
Whether you're a dedicated boozehound, flirting with teetotalling, or
already sober, this witty, gritty read may just change how you think
about alcohol forever.
