IGNTD: Sober Curious: A Curious Approach to Living Alcohol-Free, with Ruby Warrington

Sober Curious: A Curious Approach to Living Alcohol-Free, with Ruby Warrington

Feb 15, 2019

Today I’m here with a special guest, Ruby Warrington. Ruby has a completely different approach to alcohol and addiction than I do with IGNTD — that’s why I wanted to have her on the show. Her new book, Sober Curious, is all about a curious approach to living alcohol-free. It’s a radical takedown of the myths that keep so many of us drinking. As both a conversation starter and handbook, Sober Curious strives to empower readers to transform their relationship with alcohol so that they can lead their most fulfilling life.

In this episode, we talk about her approach to sobriety, her own journey with entering the “sober curious” space and questioning her own relationship with alcohol, her stance on all things addiction-related, and her book, Sober Curious.
