Summary

Kate Gunn was a social drinker, usually having a few drinks about three nights a week. But she had an inkling that alcohol was holding her back from getting on top of her life and the hangovers were getting worse.

So when Kate’s partner had to take a break from alcohol for a month, she decided to dip her toe in the water in solidarity with him and try being a non-drinker too. Not long into her transformational journey, Kate discovered that breaking free from alcohol improved every single aspect of her life: from relationships to health to work to happiness.

In The Accidental Soberista, Kate chronicles the challenges and obstacles on the path to giving herself the greatest gift she has ever received – freedom from alcohol.

Whether you’re sober-curious or want to remove the final obstacle in the way of your own health and life goals, this could be just the journey for you too.

I enjoyed this book very much. Has made me look at my own habitual drinking and make some positive changes. Definitely worth a read. It is not preachy but just states facts and scenarios about Kates experience with alcohol .

I have just finished this inspiring book. Honestly I am not a big reader ! Wish I was, but never enough hours or I start the first page and my eyes close from pure exhaustion and I have to start again the next day. So I decided to listen to this book on audible. Well I couldn’t put it down ! I have laughed out loud and cried !! I feel like you are literally talking to me! I can relate to everything you have said. I am truly inspired and want to thank you for your honest account of drinking and the journey on giving it up.. Amazing. Inspiring and highly recommend.

Highly recommend

This was really quite a joy to listen to. The writers previous depth of attachment to alcohol is palpable and extremely relatable… this combined with the pleasure, peace and happiness she has since drawn out of life radiating from her words… make this book an exceptionally compelling listen and an uplifting motivator to continue my own new Soberista baby-steps! Thanks Kate for sharing your experiences (both before and since drink) so openly and colourfully and thanks Caroline for an absorbing, warming narration… I could honestly listen to you narrate the phone book!! 💕

I loved this 🥰 More than the other 10 “Quit Lit” books I’ve inhaled recently!

Having just finished almost unintentionally reading Allen Carr's book easy way to stop drinking for women and surprising myself totally by losing any desire for a drink, this book came up as a suggestion on Audible. Kate I instantly found your story very relatable, as I like you hadn't any tragic backstory, and would have considered myself a good sociable drinker. Part way through the book I realised you are also based in Greystones where I've now been living over a decade, the book then became even more relatable for me. I loved your honesty, and all the well researched information which I found totally fascinating.
Caroline, your narration was absolutely excellent and a pleasure to listen to these past few days in the car, on my drives and it even made the chores more bearable with the earphones in.

I would say to anyone, if you are a logical person and open to growth in your life, even if you like me thought, I enjoy my few drinks. Open your mind to the possibility you could be wrong and take a chance on something different. I feel like I've cheated in comparison to others who have quit as with Allen Carr the desire is completely removed and in my first month I've not once felt any deprivation only gains.

A Suggestion perfectly timed
