Freely Sober Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith Get Honest about Your Relationship with Alcohol
Sharing a drink with friends or a glass of wine at dinner can be a nice way to enjoy God’s good gifts. But what if these casual enjoyments turn into unhealthy habits? For many, drinking can easily become a dysfunctional coping mechanism or a dependency that’s difficult to break. In Freely Sober , Ericka Andersen invites Christian women to reconsider their relationship with alcohol from a posture of honesty, curiosity, and self-compassion, offering empowering knowledge and trusted recovery principles for those curious about sobriety or seeking a way out of a habitual or destructive relationship with alcohol. “You are free to decide—honestly, thoughtfully—whether your life is better with or without it. You don’t have to quit. You don’t have to cut back. But you can. And you can do it on your own terms, not because anyone told you to, but because you’re free to choose what serves you best. You can be freely sober.” —Ericka Andersen, Freely Sober
