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 'This book is a gamechanger. Everyone deserves to have Catherine hold their hand as they navigate the new world of not drinking - whether exploring alcohol-free periods or going for full-on sobriety - and this book enables just that. Wise, funny \u0026amp; so relatable.'  - Laurie, Girl and Tonic blogger","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48967454425307,"sku":"9781912023387-RETAIL","price":19.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/71f20ffa-a68c-47e5-acfd-80a1341cc06d_50bf92fb-b8b2-4136-895e-e40dec6438e1.jpg?v=1783789083","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781912023387-retail-the-unexpected-joy-of-being-sober","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
