Quit Like a Woman is a health book by author Holly Whitaker.
Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a roadmap to cutting out alcohol to live our best lives without the hangover. You will never look at drinking the same way again.

You don’t know how much you need this book, or maybe you do. Either way, it will save your life.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunches and book clubs, graduations and funerals. However, no one questioned the popularity of alcohol – in fact, the only thing ever questioned was why someone didn’t drink. That’s the norm to belong, and if you don’t instill it, you’ll be seen as an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we value alcohol as some sort of elixir, even though it’s anything but.

When Holly Whitaker decides to seek help after one binge drinking, she embarks on a journey that will not only lead to her own sanity, but also reveal the insidious role alcohol plays in her society. us and in the lives of women in particular. Moreover, she cannot ignore the way in which alcohol companies target women, just as the tobacco industry has successfully done many generations ago. Driven by her own emerging feminism, she also recognizes that recovery systems are largely archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and real people. other oppressed – those who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to God’s male conception, like the tenet of Alcoholics Anonymous, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of identity their own and take control of their lives.

As Holly found an alternative way to get out of her own addiction, she felt the need to create a sober community with resources for anyone who questioned their relationship to addiction. drink, so they too can find their way. As a result, her femininity-centered recovery program focuses on finding the root cause of people’s overindulgence and provides the tools needed to break the cycle of addiction, for We see what can happen when we quit drinking and destroy our belief system about it.

Some previous reviewers were offended by the author’s point of view because they found it too political. For me, this is an honest, harsh, and fierce book about how society and recovery programs have traditionally been established by and for men. This book goes into what it takes to really take the time and depth to learn enough about the reasoning behind the various existing problems. There are no apologies, only facts that make you want to look at yourself again. With sweat and swagger, Holly Whitaker takes you deep into her experience and takes you along to see what it could be like on the other side.
