Quit Like A Woman

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book clubs, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity – in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patrairchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. When Holly found an alternative way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. At once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication, Quit Like A Woman will revolutionize the way you think about drinking.
