As someone who's been through early sobriety, I was excited to dive into Early Sobrieties by Michael Deagler. While I liked it, I didn't love it. The book is an honest look at what it's like to start a new life in sobriety, and I appreciated its authenticity.

Early sobriety can be pretty uneventful, and this book reflects that reality accurately. While I found myself wanting more to happen and hoping for a bit more inspiration and hope for our newly sober character, I still found value in the straightforward and honest portrayal.

If you're looking for a raw and realistic depiction of the early days of sobriety, this book might be for you. It offers an authentic glimpse into the challenges and quiet victories of starting a sober life, even if it doesn't always feel uplifting.
