The Lies My Alcohol Told Me
I was always told it was OK. That it was a part of growing up. But when does it stop being a "phase" and starts becoming a problem? At 26 I woke up. I made the decision to cut alcohol out of my life. And since that day, I have not looked back. This isn't as much a story about all the terrible things that happened during my drinking years as it is about the life I created in sobriety. That's what I'm here to share. We have the power to create our most beautiful and fun lives, without alcohol. We have the power to dismantle the stigma that has cloaked the words addiction, alcoholic, and sobriety for far too long. This is just a story of a girl who woke up one day and decided that she could co-create the life of her dreams, despite what society says. Whether you've been sober for 16 years, are newly sober, sober-curious, or simply looking for an interesting read, I hope my ramblings remind you that you, too, can change the trajectory of your life and make your dreams a reality.

The Accidental Soberista
Kate Gunn was a social drinker, usually having a few drinks about three nights a week. But she had an inkling that alcohol was holding her back from getting on top of her life, and the hangovers were getting worse. So, when Kate's partner had to take a break from alcohol for a month, in solidarity with him, she decided to dip her toes in the water and try being a non-drinker too. Not long into her transformational journey, Kate discovered that breaking free from alcohol improved every single aspect of her life: from relationships to health to work to happiness. By giving up one thing, she gained so much more. In The Accidental Soberista, Kate chronicles the challenges and obstacles on the path to giving herself the greatest gift she has ever received - freedom from alcohol. Whether you're sober-curious or want to remove the final obstacle in the way of your own health and life goals, this could be just the journey for you too.
