# Sunshine Warm Sober: Unexpected Sober Joy That Lasts - Hardcover

by **Catherine Gray** (Author)

**The new book from Catherine Gray - icon of the Quit Lit movement and author of _The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober_**

"Stone cold sober."

As the millions who choose to stay sober now know, the propaganda around drinking and sobriety is wonky. Sober doesn't feel stony, or cold.

Retired wreckhead Catherine Gray, author of surprise bestseller _**The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober**_, is now in her eighth sober year and has learned a damn sight more.

This hotly anticipated sequel enlists the help of experts and case studies, turning a curious, playful gaze onto provocative questions. Is alcohol a parenting aid? Why are booze and cocaine such a horse and carriage? Once an addict, always an addict? How do you feel safe - from alcohol, others and _**yourself**_ \- in sobriety?

Whether you're a dedicated boozehound, flirting with teetotalling, or already sober, this witty, gritty read may just change how you think about alcohol forever.
