While the resurgence of Whitaker’s book might be thanks in part to the HBO Max series, it’s not completely responsible. Actually, this time of year is the ideal moment when many people observe a “dry” month — going roughly 30 days without alcohol consumption. It’s a great way to start 2022 with a clear, focused mind, and potentially leads to a longterm lifestyle change.
Whitaker’s Quit Like A Woman has been praised for its “unflinching” examination of society’s obsession with alcohol and how it impacts women especially. The author pulls from her own lived experience to share what she learned on her journey to sobriety, revealing hard truths and a healthy dose of self-reflection. Whether you’re seriously considering kicking a habit that could become unhealthy, or looking for inspiration to continue your month of sobriety, this book sounds like a perfect purchase.
