Freely Sober

"Andersen offers important insights on how womens relationships with alcohol are shifting as they grapple with increased pressures at home and work, and her approach wisely utilizes faith as a recovery tool without positioning it as a cure-all... Women of faith will be empowered." —Publishers Weekly Review, September 2025

Get Honest about Your Relationship with Alcohol

Sharing a drink with friends or a glass of wine at dinner can be a nice way to enjoy Gods good gifts. But what if these casual enjoyments turn into unhealthy habits? For many, drinking can easily become a dysfunctional coping mechanism or a dependency thats difficult to break.

In Freely Sober, Ericka Andersen invites Christian women to reconsider their relationship with alcohol from a posture of honesty, curiosity, and self-compassion, offering empowering knowledge and trusted recovery principles for those curious about sobriety or seeking a way out of a habitual or destructive relationship with alcohol.

Andersen vulnerably shares her own story of sobriety, reflecting on how her private drinking habits began impacting her faith and life. Through her honest account, she opens the door for sober curious women of faith to explore their drinking patterns and see clearly to choose whats best for them.

"You are free to decide—honestly, thoughtfully—whether your life is better with or without it. You dont have to quit. You dont have to cut back. But you can.
