Publisher's summary

Do you count down the minutes to wine o'clock on a daily basis? Is a bottle of Pinot Grigio your friend at the end of a long hard day? If you want to give up being controlled and defined by alcohol then now is the time to join The Sober Revolution. Fed up of living in a fog of hangovers, lethargy and guilt from too much wine? Have you tried to cut down without success? You are not alone. When it comes to alcohol, millions of people around the world find it hard to exercise moderation and become stuck in a vicious cycle of blame, guilt and using more alcohol as a way of coping.

The Sober Revolution looks at women and their relationships with alcohol, exploring the myths behind this socially acceptable, yet often destructive habit. Rather than continuing the sad spiral into addiction, it helps women regain control of their drinking and live happier, healthier lives.

Sarah Turner, cognitive behavioral therapist and addictions counsellor, and Lucy Rocca, founder of Soberistas.com, the popular social networking site for women who have successfully kicked the booze or would like to, give an insight into ways to find a route out of the world of wine. The Sober Revolution will open your eyes to the dangers of social drinking and give you the tools you need to have a happy life without the wine.

Listen to it now and call time on wine o'clock forever.

Excellent

Great book! Love the perspective and common sense approach. Definitely worth the read. Also quite quick to get through.

Excellent reading for those concerned about their relationship with alcohol

This book really helped me understand my alcohol dependency and that my situation was common to many other women. It has helped me take some serious steps towards giving up alcohol.

I loved the stories of others and their struggles. These were told openly and honestly.

Required reading for all young women

Read this book ladies..... and share with as many friends and young women as possible.

Extremely Enlightening

This book helped educate me, gave me streangth. I listened to it twice. I'll probably listen again. It gave me hope.

PLAY|REPEAT|PLAY AGAIN 👏🙌❣️

Lucy Rocco - Wow! I am AF since 9/1/22. This book will help me stay unplugged from the Alcohol 🍷 Matrix. Well done Lucy. Thank you. This is for Women who could never ever resonate with AA. There is another way! And Lucy and Sarah inform us of the other ways to quit the ph¥cking sick alcoholic- promoting society we all live in. It’s all about informing ourselves about the ways that Alcohol is marketed and accepted as a natural thing to imbibe. It’s Ethanol people!! We have been fed poison all our lives by the Alcohol Moguls, and therefore we are drinking poison and acting like it’s normal! WTF???????? I want to scream at how much of a ph¥cking trance I have been in all my 62 yrs! We are all swimming in an alcoholic soaked existence because we have grown up being told it is a right of passage and the normal way to relax and escape from our childhood traumas and everyday challenges. I will listen to this book and Lucy’s Soberistas community the rest of my days or until being completely and resolutely Alcohol Free. Lucy is my new HERO! 🙏 AMEN ❣️

Worked for me

Any additional comments?

This book was the answer to my problem. I had gone to Adult Children of Alcoholics for a couple of years in my twenties and only to find out that there were others like me but not a lot of constructive help. In my late 30's-40's I fell into the "picture" of success by drinking wine; LOTS OF IT. I knew that AA was not the answer for me but this book was. If you are hungover and in agony, download this book. Listen to it a little at a time. JUST LISTEN. Listen to it driving to work and driving home. When you're sick of playing moderation games with yourself, start listening.

lots of inspiring stories

lots of inspiring stories. didn't offer anything exceptionally motivating but it did give me the extra push to quit drinking. hope its enough to make it stick

Thank you for saying that!!

I loved this book. My favorite part is that life gets better and better as opposed to temporarily better!!! Everyone should read this book. It's not just for those who imbibe. It's for anyone who needs to know that stopping what is not good for you is incredible!!! Thank you.

First Time Reviewer

Until today I have never felt compelled to write a review. I listened to this book on Audible and it totally resonated with me to the point where I want to shout from the rooftops that I am about to embark on an alcohol free lifestyle. I know it's not going to be easy but I feel I have found a friend in this book, which I know I will read/listen to again and again for support and encouragement. I just placed my order for The Six Week Plan and will be checking out the Soberista website!!! I am truly excited for this journey and recommend this book to All women who have ever once wondered if alcohol or wine was their nemesis!!!

Great book

Def a great book on why we drink so much. I def recommend this book if u are trying to quit for good.
