"I cannot recommend it highly enough." - Annie Grace, founder of This Naked Mind

Whether you dabble or are a devoted drinker, if you've ever worried about the negative effects of alcohol, this book is for you. From boozy benders to finding the joy of sobriety, Sober Mama tells the story of one woman's rollercoaster ride to abstinence and how it transformed her life


Regular hangovers, bad decisions and crippling anxiety were the norm for single mum Rachael Shephard. Every day she would relentlessly drag herself through the never-ending list of chores and a full-time job, trying to hold it all together while she was secretly falling apart. Her beloved Pinot Grigio was destroying her life one glass at a time, until one unassuming Thursday, when she finally broke free from the bottle.

Now, Rachael is a sober coach and happily navigating an alcohol-free life for the first time in twenty-five years. Through honest, relatable and outrageously funny anecdotes, Rachael shares her personal journey to sobriety and offers practical guidance for women around the world who want to ditch the drink for good.

"It's a must read for me." - reader review
"Such a raw, real and often hilarious journey. Reading this was like having a great catch up with a mate." - reader review
"I'm not a big reader at all but I couldn't put this book down!" - reader review
"I wish I found this book in my early days of sobriety." - reader review

Rachael Shephard has a lengthy background in law enforcement. She spent many years encountering people with addiction issues while simultaneously hiding the same problems herself. Now, Rachael is a sober coach for mums who want to stop drinking, and regularly speaks at events on the subject of addiction. Her days are filled with a mix of mumming, working and writing, and in her spare time she can be found trying not to murder her two children while playing guitar and binge-watching Netflix. Sober Mama is Rachael's debut book.
