The Sober Shift
A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life
Checking Availibility...Description
Live fully, abundantly, and free every day without alcohol with this inspiring guide from wellness writer Suzanne Warye, the creator behind the Sober Mom Life podcast and My Kind of Sweet.
Waking up with another hangover as the thirty-nine-year-old mother of a newborn, Suzanne Warye decided enough was enough. It was time to quit alcohol for good. In the years since, Suzanne has uncovered the myth of moderation and the limitations of the hitting rock bottom narrative. Today, she is a model for hundreds of thousands of people around the world who are embracing her brand of joyful sobriety.
Too many of us are taught not to question or examine our relationship with drinking until we're addicted, or until we experience an intervention or another life-shattering consequence. We're encouraged to enjoy this highly addictive substance "responsibly." The Sober Shift is about finding true abundance--as a better partner and a more present parent, and as the architect of a life you love--without buying into the lies of "wine o'clock."
Suzanne knows that many of us fear that, without the crutch of alcohol, we might not know how to relax, decompress, or spend quality time with our loved ones. She's been there. And she's here to tell you that a good life awaits when we walk away from the bottle.
Written with her trademark flair and engaging sense of humor, blending memoir with takeaways and cultural insights, and featuring delicious mocktail recipes to celebrate the seasons--including Virgin Rosemary Moscow Mule, Sparkling Thyme Cider, Cranberry Orange Fizz, Tart Cherry Spritz, and The Soberita--this affirming guide will help you find freedom from alcohol.
Your life is waiting on the other side.

Reviews
"As both a therapist and someone in recovery, I'm endlessly inspired by how Suzanne Warye champions the radical idea that women can simply choose sobriety because they want more from life--no catastrophe required. This book offers the permission slip so many secretly crave: you deserve freedom from alcohol simply because you want it. I cannot wait to share this book with my clients!" -- Amanda E. White, LPC, LMHC (@therapyforwomen) and author of Not Drinking Tonight: A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love
"The Sober Shift, A Modern Day Guide to Living an Abundantly Sober Life, is a beacon of hope. Suzanne Warye gets real about her journey from "Mommy wine influencer" to sobriety. This book combines practical advice with empowering stories and acts as a guide to those from early to long-term sobriety. As with her Sober Mom Life podcast, Suzanne is trailblazing a path for women choosing to live an alcohol free life. I'll be reading this book again and again." -- Laura Cathcart Robbins, Author of Stash: My Life In Hiding, and host of Only One In The Room podcast
"The Sober Shift normalizes the struggle of the gray area drinker who while hungover, anxious and ashamed quietly assures themselves that they're 'not that bad.' Suzanne challenges the beliefs society has about alcohol, while providing tools and guidance to shift your mindset about how alcohol is really impacting your life and what life could be like without it. It's not about deprivation, a lifetime of FOMO, or taking on the label 'alcoholic,' it's about gaining the courage to say goodbye to alcohol before it ruins your life." -- Gill Tietz, MS, CPRC, host of the Sober Powered podcast
