A woman without a millage

Sober and Happy in a World Obsessed with Alcohol

In our culture, alcohol is considered a natural part of social life—especially for women. In this groundbreaking book, Holly Whitaker openly identifies how this pressure arises, who it truly harms, and why it is so difficult to resist. Drawing on her own story and her work with thousands of women, she shows that the problem is often not a lack of willpower, but the environment, expectations, and deep-rooted myths. Quit Like a Woman is not a preachy manual or a book for "alcoholics," but an honest, supportive, and liberating guide to a sober and fulfilling life. It is a book that has helped hundreds of thousands of women worldwide change their relationship with alcohol—and, in turn, with themselves.
