The Sober Revolution

Do you count down the minutes to wine o'clock on a daily basis? Is a bottle of Pinot Grigio your friend at the end of a long hard day? If you want to give up being controlled and defined by alcohol then now is the time to join The Sober Revolution...Fed up of living in a fog of hangovers, lethargy and guilt from too much wine? Have you tried to cut down without success? You are not alone. When it comes to alcohol, millions of people around the world find it hard to exercise moderation and become stuck in a vicious cycle of blame, guilt and using more alcohol as a way of coping. The Sober Revolution looks at women and their relationships with alcohol, exploring the myths behind this socially acceptable yet often destructive habit. Rather than continuing the sad spiral into addiction it helps women regain control of their drinking and live happier, healthier lives. Sarah Turner, cognitive behavioural therapist and addictions counsellor, and Lucy Rocca, founder of Soberistas.com, the popular social networking site for women who have successfully kicked the booze or would like to, give an insight into ways to find a route out of the world of wine. The Sober Revolution will open your eyes to the dangers of social drinking and give you the tools you need to have a happy life without the wine. Read it now and call time on wine o'clock forever.

Lucy Rocca (Author)

Lucy Rocca was a heavy and regular binge drinker for her entire adult life up until the age of 35. Disguising an ever-growing dependency within the realms of acceptable social drinking norms, she did not consider her problem to extend to one of being 'an alcoholic' but knew, nonetheless, that she was not in control of alcohol. After a particularly heavy binge that landed her in hospital, she decided to quit drinking altogether, and went on to found Soberistas.com in November 2012 - a social network website aimed at women with alcohol dependency issues. Since then, Lucy has written five books on the subject of women and alcohol dependency, and set up a sober and life coaching practice where she helps people ditch the drink and stay alcohol-free long term. She continues to run the Soberistas website, which now has more than 70,000 members worldwide. Lucy lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, with her daughter Lily and two dogs, Boris and Bean. She loves surfing, hiking, running, learning, living and loving - all things that developed as a result of adopting the sober lifestyle.
