Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating.  Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it.
Ward was introduced to Libaire when she first got sober.  As they became friends, the two women talked about how they yearned to create lives that were Technicolor, beautifully raw, connected, blissed out, and outside the lines . . . but how?
In The Sober Lush, Libaire and Ward provide a road map for living a lush and sensual life without booze. This book offers ideas and instruction for such nonalcoholic joys as:
The allure of the Vanish, in which one disappears early from the party without saying goodbye to a soul, to amble home under the stars
The art of creating zero-proof cocktails for all seasons
Having a fantastic first date while completely sober
A primer on setting up your own backyard beehive, and honey tastings
For anyone curious about lowering their alcohol consumption or quitting drinking altogether, or anyone established in sobriety who wants inspiration, this shimmering and sumptuous book will show you how to keep indulging in life even if you stop indulging in alcohol.
