About this listen
Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle, so she left her successful role as a managing partner in one of the world's biggest advertising agencies to look after her family.
She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'
This book is the bravely honest story of a year in Clare's life. A year that started with her quitting booze and then being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze-free and cancer-free, no longer has a wine belly and is two stone lighter and with a life that is so much richer, healthier and more rewarding than ever before. She has a happier family and a more positive outlook.
Sober Diaries is an upbeat, funny and positive look at how to live life to the full. Interwoven within Clare's own very personal and brilliantly comic story is research and advice as she discovers the answers to questions like:
- How do I know if I'm drinking too much?
- How will I cope at parties?
- What do I say to friends and family?
- How do I cope with cravings?
- If I stop drinking, will I lose weight?
- What if my partner still drinks?
And many more.

Finished in three days!
I really enjoyed this book as this was the first book that I listened too within my own personal journey with quitting alcohol. The only thing for me is that I could not fully relate to her story as I am not yet married and I have no children. However, I was able to relate and identify with the main premise of the story- how alcohol can easily take over and control our lives without us even knowing until its too late. I am excited to read her next book!

So refreshing
I really loved the relatable story of this author. she was both funny and honest, something I think anyone can relate to, without being too heavy. Well punctuated with humour and other topics, so not your typical sober book. Thanks for this refreshing book 📚💞

Brilliant!
An excellent read/listen. Raw, thought provoking, yet funny and positive. In addition, the audio is so well done, it feels like the author's voice. Highly recommended
