How I quit drinking, stayed sober, and rebuilt my life from scratch.
At 23 I had hit rock bottom. No job, no direction, and no future - just a relentless hangover and the shame that came with it. When a moment of clarity struck, I made a decision that would change everything: I stopped drinking.
This isn't a story of rehab or step work. It's the story of what happens after you put the bottle down - the quiet battles, the unexpected joys, the years of doubt and growth that follow.
Told with brutal honesty and dark humour, Staying Sober is not a full memoir - it's a reflection on a life shaped by alcohol, and eventually reshaped without it. From hiding indoors to avoid temptation, to working through grief without numbing it, to finding purpose in solitude - this is one man's deeply personal journey through 35 years of sobriety.
Whether you're newly sober, still struggling, or simply curious about what life without drink really looks like - this is the book that tells it straight.
Mark O'Sullivan has been sober for over 35 years. Drawing from his own journey of recovery, he writes with honesty, humor, and hope about life without alcohol. A former fire protection service manager and now a driving instructor, Mark has worked in many trades and seen firsthand the struggles people face in working-class communities.
When he isn't writing, Mark enjoys spending time with family, visiting Ireland, and helping others on their own recovery paths. Staying Sober: What 35 Years Without a Drink Has Taught Me is his first book, written to inspire anyone who feels trapped in the cycle of drinking and searching for a way out.
