Quit Like a Woman
The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol
Book • 2019
In 'Quit Like a Woman,' Holly Whitaker presents a fresh and feminist perspective on sobriety.
The book is part memoir, part self-help, and critiques the alcohol industry and traditional recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous.
Whitaker argues that sobriety is a radical choice, especially for women, and proposes a holistic approach to recovery that includes mindfulness, self-love, and addressing the root causes of addiction.
She also highlights the societal and cultural factors that contribute to women's drinking habits and advocates for a more inclusive and empowering recovery process.
