The Sober Diaries: How one woman stopped drinking and started living

The media could not be loaded. Claire Pooley's *The Sober Diaries* is a life-changing read that helped me quit drinking. What makes this book stand out is how hilariously relatable it is. Pooley's honest, no-holds-barred account of her journey to sobriety is both inspiring and incredibly funny. She captures the ups and downs of giving up alcohol with such wit that you find yourself laughing out loud, even while tackling a serious subject. The blend of humor, raw emotion, and practical advice made it not only enjoyable but also a crucial guide on my own path to sobriety. If you're looking to quit drinking or just want a good laugh, this book is a must-read.

This book is very well written, great read for people who are sober curious.

Loved this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed Clare’s openness and candor about quitting alcohol. She is funny, touching, vulnerable and honest. Her insights ring true with my experience as I explore life without a drink in hand. She’s the real deal and I’d like to thank her for putting this out there for people like me. Thanks Clare!

I absolutely adored this book. Clare’s (I feel like we are on a first name basis now) writing is witty, fun, honest and vulnerable and everything a woman needs as she explores her own relationship with alcohol. I will definitely be reading it again and am forever grateful for her bravery, her imagery of being a badass like Khalessi, (who would not be seen with a glass in hand because there is ruling to be done,unlike her counterpart) and the awful wine witch.Thank you for sharing your talents and experiences with us.

This book is fantastic! I cannot wait to read more of Clare Pooley's writing. Uplifting, inspiring, touching, and hilarious. I would recommend it to anyone.

I am so glad Clare wrote this book. Her sense of humor and choice of words are absolutely genius, and her descriptions are incredibly relatable. When I chose to read this book, I thought it might provide a new perspective on drinking for me to “chew on” but I never expected it to grab me the way it did, and finish it in just a few evenings. I see so much of myself in Clare, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with believing that not drinking will make them into someone who is no fun anymore. I love this book.

I appreciate Clare's honesty about her addiction and experience with cancer. Her candor has given me a lot to think about in my own life.Thank you Clare

Great book for the sober-curious reader. It’s not preachy or serious. The author is relatable and highlights the positives of giving up alcohol.

You are actually missing what you think you are winning. 23, almost 24 days, and never looking back. Thank you, Clare.

Clare’s book has supported me , on most mornings through my first 20 days of sobriety and I could not be more grateful. At 7ish I’ve read a little bit to set me up for a sober day and so far I’m doing it . Her insights and wisdom are really helpful to me and I’ll probably re read it when I hit the ‘ wall ‘ ( I’m still in the happier euphoric stage ) Than you Clare for your honesty , humour and candid retelling of your first sober year . You’ve even inspired me to start a blog ! Fabulous 10/10 book and highly recommended.

Das Buch bietet eine tolle Mischung aus persönlichen Erfahrungen, einer gut erzählten Geschichte und medizinischen Fakten, die einem zu denken geben. Es ist so wichtig, dass solche Themen offener besprochen werden.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it has really helped me to understand what drinking alcohol is all about, I would recommend this read to anyone who thinks they might need or want to stop drinking.
