Funny, insightful, and candid, it is a must-read for anyone embarking on the adventure of abandoning alcohol." -Ann Dowsett Johnston, author of Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol "Brave and revolutionary, Whitaker has written a compulsively readable book about creating a life you don't want to escape.

"A funny, fast-paced, and bracingly candid dispatch from the realm of the self-actualized, but Holly Whitaker is no polished model of self-help evangelism, nor is her memoir-manifesto selling a one-size-fits-all solution.

#Quit like a woman how to#
Honest, witty and trenchant, Quit Like a Woman is at once a ground-breaking look at drinking culture, a call to arms, and a celebration of learning how to claim everything life has to offer. Urging drinkers towards a newfound humility is great if you're a man, but if you're a woman and not in a position to renounce privileges you never had, a whole other approach is needed. When Holly Whitaker started to look for a way to recover, the support systems she found for recovery where archaic and patriarchal. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. In fact, the only thing ever questioned is why people don't drink. Yet no one ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. We drink at work events, lunches, book clubs and weddings. * The book that inspired Chrissy Teigen and Sex and The City's Miranda to quit drinking * _ 'An incredible read' - Chrissy Teigen 'Has the power to change your relationship with your entire life' - Glennon Doyle 'This thoughtful, moving book will help a lot of people get to a healthier place' - Johann Hari _ We live in a world obsessed with drinking.
