Meet Teri & Sarah
Teri and Sarah are the inspiration behind My Sober Girlfriends’ Book Club. Both have been in many book clubs over the years, many of which turned out to be something other than book clubs (Teri likes to call them ‘whine & wine clubs’!). During their sober journey, they found many books inspiring and instrumental in our transformation, but they missed the opportunity to share them with others.
Now, they have the perfect option! Each month will feature a book to help you on this beautiful ‘after alcohol’ journey; genres include Quitlit, personal development, and memoirs. Teri & Sarah are podcast creators, and we look forward to bringing you lively conversations highlighting each author!
Teri Patterson
Teri is a This Naked Mind Sober Life Coach and Functional Nutritionist. She is the owner of The Sober Nutritionist and the creator of The Self Experience and The Sober Edge Podcast. She lives in Northern California with her husband and new puppy, Nola. Teri loves all types of books, including fiction, biographies, and personal development books. The book Teri tries to re-read every year is Watership Down by Richard Adams.
Sarah Showard
Sarah owns Showard Law, a practice devoted to representing victims of Big Pharma in drug and medical device lawsuits. Sarah has loved reading since she was a child, and her favorite Christmas presents were always books! According to her husband, she is a ferocious (voracious) reader. Sarah’s love of animals means you will often find her at her ranch in Sonoita, AZ, where she spends time with her horses, goats, dogs, and her husband, Peter. Sarah recently started a podcast called Prioritizing Profits: dangerous drug and product cases. Her favorite book of all time is Germinal by Emile Zola.
Here’s What They Are Reading This Summer!
June Selection
In a culture where sipping rose all day is seen as the epitome of relaxation, grabbing a drink the only way to network, and meeting at a bar the quintessential first date, many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life.
For anyone curious about lowering their alcohol consumption or quitting drinking altogether, or anyone established in sobriety who wants inspiration, this shimmering and sumptuous book will show you how to keep indulging in life even if you stop indulging in alcohol.
Sober Curator Pro Tip: We’ve featured this book before and highly recommend! The Sober Lush Book Review (thesobercurator.com)
July Selection
The Four Tendencies hold practical answers if you’ve ever thought…
· People can rely on me, but I can’t rely on myself.
· How can I help someone to follow good advice?
· People say I ask too many questions.

With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. It’s far easier to succeed when you know what works for you.
