Kate is the author of The Accidental Soberista, Ireland's first QuitLit Book. She never intended to give up alcohol for good, she only signed up for a 30 day challenge! She enjoyed drinking and fully intended to return to it after the 30 days but ended up feeling so many benefits that she decided to give it another month. And that was 7 years ago. Since giving it up, Kate has accomplished more than she ever thought possible, including writing her book. She has completed a marathon, completed a digital marketing diploma, become a better parent and feels healthier, happier, more confident and less anxious than when she was drinking. Enjoy!

Melissa has been alcohol free for the past four years. She is the founder of the wonderful sober/sober curious community SoberSocial.ie. Initially in her teens, she used alcohol to connect, relieve anxiety and enjoy herself. At 24 she began a PhD in Queens University Belfast, she then began to use alcohol to relax and unwind. After many attempts to give up alcohol, she achieved her goal in May 2020. Removing alcohol improved Melissa's life so drastically that going back to drinking was no longer appealing. She created a community because she just wanted to meet new people with similar interests and hence sobersocial.ie was born! Enjoy!
