Your Best Life: Becoming 'sober curious' Have you ever asked yourself, "Why do I drink so much? Why is there so much pressure to drink? How is it really impacting my well-being?" Author: Leslie Draffin Updated: 5:49 PM CDT April 14, 2021 TEMPLE, Texas — Over the last three and a half months, I've been on a journey of sober curiosity. I couldn't have done it without the guidance of Ruby Warrington, a former journalist turned best-selling author and podcast host who wrote the books "Sober Curious" and "The Sober Curious Reset." Reading these books inspired me to embark on my sober curious path, so I was thrilled to get to speak with Warrington one-on-one about what the sober curious movement is all about and why choosing not to drink might be the ultimate act of self-care.
