Author Jasmin Rogg draws from her own extensive experience as a psychotherapist, addiction and recovery group facilitator, and her own personal struggle with substance abuse and long-term sobriety. She compiled a collection of writings meant to offer inspiration and information for recovery and change.

After introducing readers to her own story and her path through addiction and recovery, Rogg goes on to write with honesty and compassion about the issues at the heart of substance abuse and recovery. She shares how embracing Buddhism’s teachings of mindfulness practice help foster emotional regulation and healing—two important aspects of maintaining ongoing sobriety.

She does not shy away from difficult topics, tackling issues such as abuse, trauma, love, attachment, and suffering, all while shining a light on the things we tell ourselves and about why we do what we do.

Waking Up Sober inspires insight and understanding, and includes adverse childhood experiences and relational issues as underlying factors for self-destructive behavior patterns. Rogg intersperses her own poems throughout the book, which ultimately serve to ground the topics in humanity.
