Sober as F***: My Two Year Journey of Rediscovery & Self Love

by Sarah Ordo

2019 UPDATED Featuring an updated Author's Note Chapter. The road to sobriety is hard, and I don't intend to sugar coat any part of it for you. In this book I will take it back to the beginning. My life was that of a hardcore weekend binge drinker, one blackout night after another. I welcome you into my rock bottom moments, my losing all control, and my putting my life back together, piece by piece. Sober as F*** is a personal memoir of my first two years of sobriety, but it is not only about becoming sober from alcohol. I was forced to face and accept many sobering realities about myself along the way when I put down the bottle. Everything in my life had to be broken down to nothing in order to rebuild it from the ground up. I would have to acknowledge my unhealthy relationships with men, come to terms with depression and anxiety, and to realize that I had been drowning all of my issues and emotions away, one swig of vodka at a time. In the beginning of my sobriety, I looked for support in many places. All of the books and stories I found never fit what mine looked like. So this one is for all the people out there with stories like mine, looking for reassurance that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. I was so desperate to find that kind of reassurance during my journey, so I hope my story can be that for you. To the millennial weekend binger, to the young woman so desperate to feel love, to the one losing all hope that things can get better ... This one is for you.

I’ve been following Sarah’s journey for so long (since maybe 2018?) and I am so glad to have finally read her first book. I’ve watched her grow and blossom and become a mother, all while remaining sober. She’s incredible!

Pretty good

I'm not sober but I've been around family members who struggle with addiction so that's what drawn me to the book (besides being in the girl game that she happens to be apart of). It's still some great advice in here for people who aren't sober. I say go ahead and buy the book for yourself or give it seat as a gift

This book is triumphant! Sarah takes us down the rabbit hole with her, and allows us to see the difficult struggle back to herself! I read it cover to cover the day it arrived! Thank you for this joy Sarah!

Very honest and real! Great read!

I loved the author's "stream of consciousness" style of writing. Great read for someone struggling with alcohol or for anyone who loves someone who is struggling.

I couldn’t finish this book, too many grammatical errors and repetition of the same “lesson”. The book also jumped from thought to thought making it impossible to follow.
