Pt 1: Are You Sober Curious? | Catherine Gray

We’re kicking off World Mental Health Month with the author of ‘The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober’, Catherine Gray.  11 years ago, Catherine had a ‘raging alcohol addiction’, but since her recovery, she’s become an integral voice to help people go sober every day. In this episode, she joins Dr Alex George to share her key lessons and the tips she’d offer to the sober curious. In part 1, Catherine shares the anxiety she had around being alcohol-free, the reasons why she couldn’t just cut down her intake and the personal transformation that has come with putting the bottle down.  Catherine also shares her thoughts on whether you must hit rock bottom before you stop.  Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unexpectedjoyof/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@unexpectedjoyof</a> and get her book, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unexpected-Joy-Being-Sober-alcohol-free/dp/1912023385" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober’</a> Get Catherine’s debut novel <a href="https://linktr.ee/versionsofagirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘Versions of a Girl’</a>  Follow the podcast on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestompcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thestompcast</a> To improve your mental fitness, get Dr Alex’s book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Manual-BESTSELLER-Fitness-Everyone/dp/1783254904" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Mind Manual</a> <a href="https://bemettle.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Mettle</a>: the mental fitness app for men Hosted on Acast.
