The Sober Diaries

£10.99

Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle so she left her successful role as a Managing Partner in one of the world’s biggest advertising agencies to look after her family. She knew the change wouldn’t be easy but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day, and spending her evenings Googling ‘Am I an alcoholic?’ This book is the bravely honest story of a year in Clare’s life. A year that started with her quitting booze and then being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze-free and cancer-free, she no longer has a wine belly, is two stone lighter and with a life that is so much richer, healthier and more rewarding than ever before. She has a happier family and a more positive outlook.

Description

THE HILARIOUS MEMOIR THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO STOP DRINKING AND START LIVING – BY THE AUTHOR OF THE AUTHENTICITY PROJECT

‘The best ‘quit-lit’ on the market’ – Reader review

‘An excellent book. It will help a lot of people’ – Lorraine Kelly

With a highly successful career in advertising, Clare Pooley never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day, and spending her evenings Googling, ‘Am I an alcoholic?’

This is the bravely honest and hilariously funny story of a year in Clare’s life. A year that started with her quitting booze and then being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze and cancer-free, two-stone lighter and with a life that is richer and more rewarding than ever before.

Interwoven with Clare’s story is research and answers to questions such as: How do I know if I’m drinking too much? How will I cope at parties? What do I say to friends and family? How do I cope with cravings? What if my partner still drinks?

????? ‘Clare’s book has supported me on most mornings through my first 20 days of sobriety and I could not be more grateful.’

????? “Absolutely amazing book. I found myself relating to everything she says. It’s so real, and down to earth, and honest. Definitely helped me to make some big changes I know I needed to. Thank you Clare!”

?????”Inspirational. Such an amazing read. Thoroughly enjoyed and could related to a lot of the journey Clare experienced. Thank you for being brave enough to share and help support others.”
