What Is ‘Grey Area Drinking’... And Are You Doing It?

Happy New Year - No Filter listeners - how are you going so far in 2025? Did you survive the silly season? Did you make any “new year, new me” resolutions?

Maybe you’re one of the many people who chose to get through the holidays sober…or maybe you enjoyed some Christmas tipple but now you’re feeling sober-curious. Wherever you might be on the mocktail to cocktail spectrum - this conversation is for you because our guest, author and health & wellbeing coach, Sarah Rusbatch, has lived it all.

She has written a book called Beyond Booze, How to Create A Life You Love Alcohol Free’ - Sarah lived through what she describes as her own “dysfunctional relationship with alcohol” but - as you’ll hear - she’s not at all preachy, she just happens to know a lot about how hard it can be to be sober, but how good it can be on the other side.

You can follow Sarah on Instagram here. And to join Sarah’s free Facebook community please click here. The Facebook community encourages women who want support, a safe space where women are talking about booze and sobriety and how to step into their best lives.  

Everything you need to know about Sarah’s book and work is here.
