About the Company
lcoholic” and “alcoholism” are terms wrought with stigma, which can prevent people from accessing help and marginalize those working through their relationship with alcohol. The scientific community and sober advocates have long embraced terms like alcohol use disorder and substance use disorder to be used instead, but the label ‘Sober Curious’ takes this thinking a step further and in a more relaxed direction. Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol, coined the term around 2015 to describe her own “uneasy relationship with booze.”
“After many years of privately questioning my drinking,” Warrington said in an email, “I began speaking openly about my conflicted feelings about alcohol.”
In initiating this dialogue, she discovered many people struggled similarly—people who found alcohol problematic for them but didn’t identify as “alcoholics.” The stigma made people afraid to talk about questioning their alcohol use. “…[they] didn’t have an outlet for an open discussion about the problems even “normal” drinkers experience.”
