Welcome back to Journey to the Sunnyside! Today, we’re picking up where we left off with Susan Keller, author of Mostly Sober: A Love Story and a Road Trip. In the last episode, we dove into her personal journey with mindful drinking, and today we’re taking it a step further. We’re going to dig into the emotional side of things—how family trauma and emotional triggers play a role in drinking habits, not just for Susan but also for her protagonist, Annie Marks. For those of you who are new here, Mostly Sober is about Annie’s journey as she tries to navigate the emotional impact of childhood trauma while working on her relationship with alcohol. The book is a mix of fiction, autobiography, and self-help, and it offers a fresh perspective on reducing drinking without the pressure to quit entirely. Let’s get into it with Susan!
