Lauren McQuistin

When she was told that her life expectancy
may be as low as twenty-five if she did not stop
drinking, Lauren felt absolutely nothing – then
the sparks of despair. How was she here? Surely,
sobriety was for middle-aged divorcées who’d
lost everything, not young, struggling singers who
didn’t have anything to lose in the first place?
Besides, when alcohol is the only medicine that
makes the world feel bearable, how can you

possibly stop taking it?

​

Six years later, Lauren has found her way to an
intricate answer. Entwining practical, empathetic
suggestions with intimate memoir, No Lost
Causes Club is an intrinsically vulnerable and
brutally honest exploration of what living a full
life after you get clean looks like. From delving
into the social complexities that often leave
people hopelessly dependent on alcohol, to
centring the struggles of those newly navigating
sobriety, this book is a soothing balm for anyone
wondering how to carve a beautiful life from a
world that never made sense before.
