“An unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women
and a gorgeous memoir of how one woman healed herself. It will
change your relationship with alcohol—and it has the power to
change your relationship with your entire life.”—Glennon Doyle, #1
New York Times bestselling author of Untamed
“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. Her story is a messy human one and all
the more convincing that sobriety is a feminist issue.”—Melissa
Febos, author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me
“As a culture, we have a weird and often dysfunctional relationship
with alcohol. This thoughtful, moving book will help a lot of
people get to a healthier place.”—Johann Hari, author of Chasing
the Scream and Lost Connections
“Holly Whitaker is a genius: brilliantly clever, fearless,
snort-out-loud funny.”—Catherine Gray, author of The Unexpected Joy
of Being Sober
“Brave and revolutionary, Whitaker has written a compulsively
readable book about creating a life you don’t want to escape.
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
“A vital, timely, and intriguing analysis of women and alcohol . .
. Whitaker cuts to the quick of the issues, skillfully using
gripping anecdotes and well-researched insights to educate,
liberate, and provide real hope and tangible steps for anyone
looking to quit like a woman.”—Annie Grace, author of This Naked
Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change
Your Life
“Raw, vulnerable, and unapologetic. Holly Whitaker brings these
ingredients together for a fresh and needed perspective as well as
a great read.”—Jud Brewer, MD, PhD, author of The Craving Mind:
From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love—Why We Get Hooked and How We
Can Break Bad Habits
“Following in the footsteps of titles such as Rachel Hollis’s Girl,
Wash Your Face, Whitaker aims her first book at modern, urban
women—specifically those who are concerned that they might have a
problem with alcohol. Part self-help, part recovery memoir, this
personal account provides useful and inspiring techniques for
addiction recovery.”—Library Journal
“In this blending of memoir and advocacy for an alcohol-free
lifestyle, Whitaker . . . offer[s] inspiration to others in need of
guidance or permission to find their own paths.”—Booklist
