Today, Alex and Lisa talk to Clare Pooley. Clare graduated from Newnham College, Cambridge and spent twenty years in the heady world of advertising. Clare’s memoir - The Sober Diaries, which came about due to her blog – Mummy was a Secret Drinker - has helped thousands of people around the world to quit drinking and she is a well-known figure in the sober community.

Clare has since gone on to write her first Novel, The Authenticity Project, which was a New York Times bestseller, a BBC Radio 2 book club pick, and winner of the RNA debut novel award.

Clare’s second novel - The People on Platform 5 is coming in May/June 2022 and we can’t wait.
