**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**

Not remotely preachy - The Times

Jaunty, shrewd and convincing - Sunday Telegraph

Admirably honest, light, bubbly and remarkably rarely annoying. - Alice OKeeffe, Guardian

Truthful, modern and real - Stylist

Brave, witty and brilliantly written - Marie Claire

Ever sworn off alcohol for a month and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think theres no point in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us. 64 of Brits want to drink less.

Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of drunk tank jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures.

But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups.

In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on societys drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies.

Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking, this book is about the escape, and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined. Whether youre a hopelessly devoted drinker, merely sober-curious, or youve already ditched the drink, you will love this book.

Haunting, admirable and enlightening - The Pool

A riveting, raw, yet humorous memoir with actionable advice. - Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind

Like listening to your best friend teach you to be sober. Lighthearted but serious, its packed with ideas, tools, tips and, most importantly, reasons for living a sober life.- Eric Zimmer, host of podcast The One You Feed

Grays fizzy writing succeeds in making this potentially boring-as-hell subject both engaging and highly seductive - The Bookseller

Her exquisitely crafted thoughts on the joys of being sober are not only deeply honest and pragmatic, but she manages to infuse tons of humor. This is a delightful, informative, and compelling read for all those who are sober or seeking sobriety. - Sasha Tozzi, Huffington Post

No other author writes about sober living with as much warmth or emotional range as Catherine Gray. Her deep insight into the subtle psychologies of drinking, and of life, means that everything she writes is both utterly relatable and stretches our minds. Hers is a rare wisdom. - Dr Richard Piper, CEO, Alcohol Change UK
