In an era where stories of personal triumph and resilience are sought after more than ever, Sherry Hoppen's powerful memoir, Sober Cycle: Pedaling Through Recovery One Day at a Time, emerges as a beacon of hope for those battling the often silent and solitary struggle with addiction. Published by Redemption Press, this compelling narrative goes beyond the typical recovery story to offer a deeply personal account of overcoming alcohol addiction through an extraordinary physical and spiritual journey.

Sherry Hoppen, active church attendee, devoted wife & mother, and ministry worker, unveils the raw and unvarnished truth of her decade-long battle with alcoholism—a secret that consumed her life, faith, and family. In a moment of desperation, she embarked on a thousand-mile bike ride from Michigan to Texas, a grueling challenge that she hoped would mark the start of her journey toward sobriety. And it did--but it was truly just the beginning.

With a blend of no-holds-barred honesty and unexpected humor, Sherry takes readers through her secret double life as an addicted Christian, her numerous attempts and failures at achieving sobriety, the depths of her shame, and the moment of surrender that changed everything. Sober Cycle is not just a story about a bike ride; it is a testament to the power of faith, the importance of surrender, and the grace-filled reality of redemption.

Ten years sober, Sherry is now a passionate advocate for women struggling with addiction. Through her story, she offers a message of hope without judgment, clichés, or trite mantras. Sober Cycle assures readers that redemption and healing are possible and that one does not need to embark on a thousand-mile journey to find them.

“I started writing this book for anyone who is struggling with addiction, but it ended up bringing me healingand closure as well,” writes Sherry. “The grace that God showed me each and every day, even while I was drinking, was the only thing that rescued me from complete self-destruction and saved my life. If there isany takeaway in my story, it’s that you aren’t alone. In going back through my journals of the past ten years, I’ve learned so much about myself and how God stuck with me to guide me to this place of redemption.” This memoir is not only for those who are directly affected by addiction but also for anyone seeking a story of transformation and the strength of the human spirit. It serves as a reminder that change is possible, no matter how insurmountable the obstacles may seem.
