Recenzje

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
