Award-winning journalist, author, and mental health advocate Jill Stark discusses the updated edition of her book High Sobriety, which has been longlisted for the Walkley Book award and shortlisted for the Kibble Literary Awards. She speaks about her struggle to become a moderate drinker, the crippling ‘hangxiety’ that led to her quitting alcohol for good, the pandemic, and the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery sobriety has taken her on. Jill has spent ten years on staff at The Age covering health and social affairs, and now works as a freelance journalist, speechwriter, media consultant, content creator, and public speaker.//
