Suzanne Warye’s The Sober Shift Redefines Sobriety as Joyful, Abundant, and Alcohol-Free
Forget the hangovers, the “mommy wine culture,” and the endless marketing machine of Big Alcohol. Chicago-based wellness writer and creator of The Sober Mom Life podcast Suzanne Warye is rewriting the rules of what it means to have a good time. In her bold new book The Sober Shift: A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life (HarperOne, Sept. 30, 2025), Warye delivers a sharp, funny, and deeply personal manifesto on living fully—without a single drop. Part memoir, part wake-up call, The Sober Shift blends neuroscience, cultural critique, and seasonal mocktail recipes to prove that sobriety isn’t about restriction—it’s about liberation.
With her signature humor and Midwest grit, Warye dives into everything from the seductive pull of “mommy wine culture” to the powerful science of alcohol-free living. She invites readers to rethink their relationship with drinking, embrace discomfort, and discover a richer, more intentional life. Whether you’re sober-curious or fully committed to a booze-free lifestyle, Warye’s message is loud and clear: abundance starts where the bottle ends.
