The Sober Shift

“As both a therapist and someone in recovery, I’m endlessly inspired by how Suzanne Warye champions the radical idea that women can simply choose sobriety because they want more from life–no catastrophe required. This book offers the permission slip so many secretly crave: you deserve freedom from alcohol simply because you want it. I cannot wait to share this book with my clients!” – Amanda E. White, LPC, LMHC (@therapyforwomen) and author of Not Drinking Tonight: A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love

“The Sober Shift, A Modern Day Guide to Living an Abundantly Sober Life, is a beacon of hope. Suzanne Warye gets real about her journey from “Mommy wine influencer” to sobriety. This book combines practical advice with empowering stories and acts as a guide to those from early to long-term sobriety. As with her Sober Mom Life podcast, Suzanne is trailblazing a path for women choosing to live an alcohol free life. I’ll be reading this book again and again.” – Laura Cathcart Robbins, Author of Stash: My Life In Hiding, and host of Only One In The Room podcast

“The Sober Shift normalizes the struggle of the gray area drinker who while hungover, anxious and ashamed quietly assures themselves that they’re ‘not that bad.’ Suzanne challenges the beliefs society has about alcohol, while providing tools and guidance to shift your mindset about how alcohol is really impacting your life and what life could be like without it. It’s not about deprivation, a lifetime of FOMO, or taking on the label ‘alcoholic, ’ it’s about gaining the courage to say goodbye to alcohol before it ruins your life.” – Gill Tietz, MS, CPRC, host of the Sober Powered podcast

“The Sober Shift is the book so many women have been searching for–smart, honest, relatable, and full of hope. Suzanne doesn’t just tell her story–she holds up a mirror and helps you see your own, without shame or judgment.” – Casey McGuire Davidson, host of The Hello Someday Podcast For Sober Curious Women

“I’ve experienced firsthand the abundance that lies on the other side of addiction… The Sober Shift is a powerful reminder that sobriety isn’t just about giving something up, but instead about getting everything back.” – Mallory Ervin, bestselling author of Living Fully
