The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober
Discover a Happy, Healthy, Wealthy, Alcohol-Free Life
Author: Catherine Gray
đ About the Book
The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober is a bold, funny, and deeply honest exploration of life without alcohol â and why itâs infinitely better than you might imagine. In this refreshingly candid memoir, Catherine Gray shares her journey from hangovers and humiliation to clarity, confidence, and freedom, proving that sobriety isnât about missing out â itâs about finally waking up to the joy of living.
After years of living in a âdrink, regret, repeatâ cycle, Catherine swore off booze and began documenting what she found on the other side â from awkward first sober parties to rediscovering real self-worth. With warmth and wit, she dismantles the myths that drinking equals happiness and shows how an alcohol-free life can bring true connection, purpose, and peace.

- How to navigate sober holidays, weddings, dating, and friendships
