Synopsis

How I quit drinking, stayed sober, and rebuilt my life from scratch.

At 23 I had hit rock bottom. No job, no direction, and no future - just a relentless hangover and the shame that came with it. When a moment of clarity struck, I made a decision that would change everything: I stopped drinking.

This isn't a story of rehab or step work. It's the story of what happens after you put the bottle down - the quiet battles, the unexpected joys, the years of doubt and growth that follow.

Told with brutal honesty and dark humour, Staying Sober is not a full memoir - it's a reflection on a life shaped by alcohol, and eventually reshaped without it. From hiding indoors to avoid temptation, to working through grief without numbing it, to finding purpose in solitude - this is one man's deeply personal journey through 35 years of sobriety.

Whether you're newly sober, still struggling, or simply curious about what life without drink really looks like - this is the book that tells it straight.
