Catherine Gray is an award-winning writer and editor. She has worked on staff for magazines such as Cosmopolitan, GLAMOUR and the Sun's Fabulous supplement. She has written as a freelancer for publications like Stylist, Marie Claire, YOU, Women's Health, Grazia, the Guardian, Shortlist, BBC Earth, Emerald Street, Heat and the Daily Mail.When she's not writing, Catherine can generally be found trying to do crow pose in yoga and failing, watching low-brow TV meant for American teens, chatting up cute dogs in the park, or spending money on holidays when she should be saving it.
Ever sworn off alcohol for a month and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think there's 'no point' in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us.
Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of 'drunk tank' jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures.
But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups.
In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on society's drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies.
Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking, this book is about the escape, and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined. Whether you're a hopelessly devoted drinker, merely sober-curious, or you've already ditched the drink, you will love this book.
My favorite 'quit lit' by far! I read a lot of what we ex-drinkers fondly refer to as 'quit lit'. Reading other people's journey to sobriety is uplifting and strengthens our resolve. Katherine Gray's book is my new favorite for many reasons. Her writing is so personable, you feel like you're chatting with your best friend. Her authenticity and honesty is refreshing, and while almost all of the quit lit books take you to the bare bones of 'rock bottom' the difference with Katherine is you never feel like she's embellishing.Everyone's 'rock bottom' is different. Hopefully, as a society we learn to raise that bottom and make it more acceptable to pursue sobriety. Alcohol; the only drug you have to justify not taking. Katherine says her rock bottom was not that bad, not that dramatic, but I disagree. You can feel the pain her drinking was causing her, can see the toll it took on her relationships. Although she was never that 'bad girl' like Sasha Scoblic, her bottom was definitely bad enough.I highly recommend this to anyone whether you think you want to quit or not. It's a great story of courage. It's a great story of self-examination and having the grit to know when you've hit your maximum. It's proof positive that human beings are capable of great things, and are stronger than we think. It's important to share our stories, especially those that highlight our strength and humanity, and Katherine has given us a damn fine example!Highly recommended! I’ve just put this down and I want to pick it right back up again and start again. I may now only be a 2 or 3 on the alcohol addiction scale, and a few years ago I made it a whole year without booze, but now I can see that my life will be better without alcohol. Gray’s honesty, wit and positivity has dispelled my fears about going teetotal, which mostly hinge on being seen as boring, or worse, smug and self-suffering.I recommended this for anyone who feels that they may be depriving themselves if they take that cooling G&T or warming, relaxing glass of red out of their lives. Alcohol is not needed to get into the spirit of things!Essential reading for those who want to join the Sober Movement For anyone who is questioning their drinking or who is flirting with the idea of sobriety or starting out on their sober journey this is essential reading. Catherine brings total honesty to this sometimes raw memoir that challenges the notion that drinking to excess should be accepted as normal behaviour in our alcohol saturated society. I found her to be sharp, witty, relatable and authentic. Reading it felt like I was having a conversation with someone I knew and for that of all the quit lit I’ve read so far this is my favourite.The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober is full of good tips and helpful recommendations. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one day as it was so compelling. I know that her story is one that will stay with me for a long time and that I’ll revisit in the years to come.Catherine’s courage to share her story to help others rewrite their own is to be applauded.
