It will help a lot of people' - Lorraine Kelly With a highly successful career in advertising, Clare Pooley never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day, and spending her evenings Googling, 'Am I an alcoholic?' This is the bravely honest and hilariously funny story of a year in Clare's life. A year that started with her quitting booze and then being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze and cancer-free, two-stone lighter and with a life that is richer and more rewarding than ever before. Interwoven with Clare's story is research and answers to questions such as: How do I know if I'm drinking too much? How will I cope at parties? What do I say to friends and family? How do I cope with cravings? What if my partner still drinks? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Clare's book has supported me on most mornings through my first 20 days of sobriety and I could not be more grateful.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ \" Absolutely amazing book. I found myself relating to everything she says. It's so real, and down to earth, and honest. Definitely helped me to make some big changes I know I needed to. Thank you Clare!\" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\" Inspirational. Such an amazing read. Thoroughly enjoyed and could related to a lot of the journey Clare experienced. Thank you for being brave enough to share and help support others.\"", "editions": [ { "title": "The Sober Diaries", "subtitle": null, "url": "https://www.bookquiver.com/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries/9781399759199", "publisher": "Hodder Stoughton", "translators": [], "medium": "paper", "duration_seconds": null, "narrators": [], "illustrators": [], "cover_artists": [], "isbn": "978-13-9975-919-9", "pages": null, "published": "2026-12-29", "language": "en_GB", "cover": "https://quivercdn.com/covers/hodder-stoughton/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries_978-13-9975-919-9-144f2348.webp?v=2026-11-01%2002%3A54%3A01" }, { "title": "The Sober Diaries", "subtitle": null, "url": "https://www.bookquiver.com/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries/9781473661905", "publisher": "Hodder Paperbacks", "translators": [], "medium": "paper", "duration_seconds": null, "narrators": [], "illustrators": [], "cover_artists": [], "isbn": "978-14-7366-190-5", "pages": null, "published": "2018-12-27", "language": "en_GB", "cover": "https://quivercdn.com/covers/hodder-paperbacks/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries_978-14-7366-190-5.jpg?v=2026-04-29%2002%3A38%3A25" }, { "title": "The Sober Diaries", "subtitle": null, "url": "https://www.bookquiver.com/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries/9781473661875", "publisher": "Hodder Stoughton", "translators": [], "medium": "paper", "duration_seconds": null, "narrators": [], "illustrators": [], "cover_artists": [], "isbn": "978-14-7366-187-5", "pages": null, "published": "2017-12-28", "language": "en_GB", "cover": "https://quivercdn.com/covers/hodder-stoughton/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries_978-14-7366-187-5.jpg?v=2026-04-29%2002%3A38%3A23" }, { "title": "The Sober Diaries", "subtitle": null, "url": "https://www.bookquiver.com/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries/9781473661882", "publisher": "Hodder Stoughton", "translators": [], "medium": "ebook", "duration_seconds": null, "narrators": [], "illustrators": [], "cover_artists": [], "isbn": "978-14-7366-188-2", "pages": null, "published": "2017-12-28", "language": "en_GB", "cover": "https://quivercdn.com/covers/hodder-stoughton/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries_978-14-7366-188-2.jpg?v=2026-04-29%2002%3A38%3A28" }, { "title": "The Sober Diaries", "subtitle": null, "url": "https://www.bookquiver.com/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries/9781473683242", "publisher": "Hodder Stoughton", "translators": [], "medium": "audio", "duration_seconds": null, "narrators": [], "illustrators": [], "cover_artists": [], "isbn": "978-14-7368-324-2", "pages": null, "published": "2017-12-28", "language": "en_GB", "cover": "https://quivercdn.com/covers/hodder-stoughton/clare-pooley/the-sober-diaries_978-14-7368-324-2.jpg?v=2026-04-29%2002%3A38%3A31" } ], "other_languages": [], "characters": [], "chapters": [] }
