In 2017, at age twenty-five, Alexandra McRobert found herself imagining jumping off the roof of her apartment building in Mahboula, Kuwait. She’d left her newly married husband the night before, for no reason other than a gut feeling that this marriage wasn’t the right path for her to take. Overwhelmed with guilt, heartbreak, and as her life was slowly falling apart, it felt like the only way out was to end her life. Sober Yoga Girl traces the steps backwards to explore how she ended up there in the first place, and then traces the steps forward – to share how she worked her way up from the abyss. Ultimately, she discovers that the solution to her suffering and sadness is not what the western world has taught her. By going on an inward journey of yoga, sobriety, and healing, she discovers that the solution for her is not alcohol or western medicine. It’s about healing her trauma, finding spirituality, and discovering connection and community. Sober
