Speaking to MyDerry, Joanne said the book club was created with the intention of providing support, knowledge and connection to anyone impacted by alcohol.

She added: "Whether you on your own journey, wanting to lead a healthier lifestyle or supporting others, this book club is a safe, confidential and supportive space to explore and gain an understanding of the alcohol-free journey.

"Within The Serenity Book Club, the focus will be on books which will educate, inspire, empower and provide support for anyone who has been impacted by alcohol.

"Reading ‘quit lit’ has been a big part of my toolkit in terms of changing my mindset towards alcohol so I’d love to share this experience with others in the hope it does the same for them."
