Publisher's Summary
Old-timers in 12-step programs say that if you want to stay sober, you only have to change one thing: your whole life. Sober Truths: The Making of an Honest Woman recounts how one woman did just that.
Jill Kelly's personal stories describe the journey as two decades of drinking and despair gave way to a richly rewarding sober life. Her demons did not go quietly when she put the bottle down. Loneliness, anxiety, distrust of others - they were all still there. This memoir tells how she has learned to be with those demons and not drink, to let go of the jealous dramas of the past and embrace a new life of peace. Along the way, Kelly reinvents herself, becoming a visual artist, starting a successful business, and developing deep friendships and a satisfying spiritual life. At the same time, she faces the challenges of emotional eating and her sober ambivalence about sexual relationships.
This audiobook offers hope to those who cannot imagine a life without alcohol by someone who has recreated hers.

One of the best sober memoirs.
I’ve listened to many, many sober memoirs. It’s a genre I relate to and enjoy.
This story was so rich and honest. There was so much to Jill’s story that was NOT about being drunk, but about being sober, about being WELL. She wrote about recovery in such a thorough way, I’ve never heard a richer life story.
If I could give 6 stars I would.

Frank and painfully honest
I found this compelling from beginning to end. You can understand this person’s loneliness and anxiety as she writes so powerfully and vividly about her life experiences and personal choices related to pain. It takes courage to expose one’s. vulnerabilities;vulnerabilities that in part at least , lead to the writer’s addiction to alcohol and some disturbing relationships and life choices. Cringe worthy in places. This memoir takes you along this woman’s path to self destruction to recovery. An excellent book. Well written and honest.
