Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Julia and I am the author of Sober Positive, a new self-help guide for anyone wanting to achieve true freedom from alcohol addiction or problem drinking and discover one of the world’s best kept secrets – the wonderful world of happy sobriety!
After a long career as a party girl binge drinker and, in later years, a sofa drinking wine mummy, I realised something had to change when I woke up with yet another monumental hangover two days after my 40th birthday. So I stopped drinking. I did the thing I thought I could not do. And although it hasn’t been plain sailing by any means, it has been the most amazing rollercoaster ride of an adventure and I’ve never looked back.
I started writing about my sober journey on www.soberistas.com where I blog under the username takingmylifeback (because I really am). And I quickly realised that I had quite a lot to say about this wonderful secret world of positive sobriety I now live in.
So I wrote Sober Positive, to share everything I have learned so far on my journey from committed boozer to sobriety evangelist. From how I shifted my mindset about alcohol, through how I tackled sober firsts like socialising, holidays, weddings and Christmas, to the deeper work I have done to support my physical and mental wellbeing and the changes in my close relationships since I stopped drinking.
The book is out in paperback and e-book on Amazon on 31 October 2019. And I still can’t quite believe I can write that!
On here you can read my blogs, as I still ramble about my ongoing travels in sobriety from time to time. You can also link through to Amazon to order the book, download worksheets to complete as you work through some of the chapters, contact me to let me know if it helped you and order a range of branded products to help spread the sober positive joy throughout the world. The sober revolution is a very real thing and it is truly an honour to be part of it.
So have a browse around – it’s great to have to you here!
