Ruby Warrington's 2019 book Sober Curious was an illuminating conversation starter that asked you to consider, "Would life be better without alcohol?" thus sparking a global wellness trend of "curiosity" on how to gain one's genuine confidence and happiness without the crutch of alcohol.
In The Sober Curious Reset, Ruby goes a step further by inviting you into a 100-day process of radically rethinking your drinking. Each "day" features observations, exercises, and insights, offering a more profound process of self-discovery than common month-long programs like Dry January or Sober September. Ruby's friendly, honest, and totally non-judgmental tone helps you unmask the deeper "whys" behind your drinking, understand why 100 days is so transformational, and how to create a truly sustainable shift in habits -- and on to living a life with more presence, focus, and overall well-being.
The Sober Curious Reset is not about preaching total abstinence -- rather, it's about empowering you to make the right drinking choices, whatever this may look like for you. Ruby's 100 days is all about changing your relationship to alcohol to lead a life with more clarity, confidence, and connection.
The Sober Curious Reset: Change the Way You Drink in 100 Days or Less Reviews

Horribly negative on alcohol 🤣
I was expecting a lighter attitude and more openness to ultimately adopting moderation, after reading her first book. But this? She just constantly hammers how awful you will feel if you drink (at all?) Enough that I found myself constantly arguing with her points, and decided to give up reading it altogether.
I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. I have found that I like drinking far less than I used to, but I'm planning to keep it up in specific situations and I'm fine with that. It does not have to ruin the next day! It's called responsible moderation.
This book is not friendly to that idea, unlike her original writing on the subject. -
I have a hard time rating nonfiction (and this is a workbook no less) so not adding stars – but for me overall, this is approachable and has decent reflections & observations on drinking preferences. Likely won’t read the full book but I think this is a good starting point!

Helpful exercises on the journey. If embarking on this journey I’d start with Sober Curious first and then use this is a tool as much as you need. They’re definitely good daily reflections and you’ll get out of it what you put in.

Found it a good book - nice to refer to when you are on a quest to go AF.
