Going sober

Four Thought

Available for over a year

Clare Pooley was a working mum and loved a bottle of wine...or three. Her love of drink began to get in the way of her love of life. The realisation that alcohol was no longer her best-friend caused her to break up with it. This wasn't easy she says in a society that celebrates, commiserates and procrastinates using alcohol. But the ensuing breakup showed her how being sober can be just as much fun if not more than being drunk.
