Download or read book Quit Like a Woman written by Holly Whitaker and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women and a gorgeous memoir of how one woman healed herself.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “You don’t know how much you need this book, or maybe you do. Either way, it will save your life.”—Melissa Hartwig Urban, Whole30 co-founder and CEO The founder of the first female-focused recovery program offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety. We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it. Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. You will never look at drinking the same way again.

There are many different ideas about recovery. There is a plan of attack to recovery that is called the creative theory. It's a bit different from "traditional" recovery which is commonly 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Many people have never heard if this and have no idea how to go about figuring out where they are or how to change it. Also you, didn’t you hear about? Then please continue to read, as you need to discover the secrets that help you beat addictions! You know why most people have a tendency to not achieve the success they desire in fighting addictions and overall life? It's because they don't know that early on recovery begins a little bit before you even become clean and sober. You need to start in the mental process of arriving at the decision to alter your life. Then you really go through with the conclusion and take true action. This sets in motion a roller coaster of an emotional ride that we may simply describe as becoming a furious, up and down ride. Which brings us to a very important aspect I must talk about: You Can Have Better Success In Recovery And Life If You Discover Effective Resolutions To Quit Drinking!

That is why is it very important for you to realize the value of what I’m offering. The price I’m charging for this book is minimal when you consider the fact that you can use just one of these strategies to make your money back 10-15 times over.

Craig was a successful and functioning professional man in spite of a 'two bottles of wine a night' drinking habit.

For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely did not want to drink anymore. In this book, he will lead you through the same remarkable process.The Stop Drinking Expert method is unique...* No labels - you are not an alcoholic!* A permanent cure. Not a lifetime struggle.* No embarrassing Alcoholics Anonymous* Forget about expensive rehab.* Zero ineffective willpower required.* No dangerous medication.* Treats the source of the problem, not the symptoms.* 5x more effective than traditional methods.Over the past decade, Craig has become recognized as the world's #1 quit drinking mentor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no such thing as an alcoholic and there is no such disease as alcoholism! (as society understands it). Whether you agree with this statement or not, one thing is for sure, you will never see alcohol in the same light ever again after reading this book. Jason Vale takes an honest and hard hitting look at people's conceptions of our most widely consumed drug. Jason's major argument is there is no such thing as an 'alcoholic' and that we are conditioned to accept alcohol as a 'normal' substance in today's society despite the fact that it is the major cause of many of today's social problems and a wide range of health issues. This book is much more than a simple eye opener, it will: change the way you see alcohol forever; show you how to stop drinking; help you enjoy the process and enjoy your life so much more than you do now without having to drink alcohol. So open your mind and take a journey with Jason to explore the myths about the most used and accepted drug addiction in the world!

Book excerpt: When one walks into a twelve-step recovery center for alcoholic addiction, he will be told to look to the person to the left and right. The sages will then declare these are who won't succeed in their recovery. The results from the continued Alcoholics Anonymous fare not much better. Regardless of steps, guidelines, sponsors, creeds and mantras, the fact is most will fail in their quest to beat their addiction to alcohol. But what if I told you there was a more effective way to end an addiction than traditional twelve-step programs?My name is Charles Hurst. I began drinking at eighteen years old and had become heavily addicted by age twenty-seven. After thirteen years of being in the moderate to late stages of alcoholism, I defeated the addiction at age forty. And I have been clean and sober for well over a decade.I didn't beat the addiction by embracing the Alcoholics Anonymous philosophy but by directly rejecting it. I didn't envision a life spent in their rooms, chanting like a cult member and rehashing my former terrible life in-between cookies, coffee and cigarettes. The rooms which eventually become a lifelong prison sentence for the few who actually stay sober. I believed I could recreate myself with simple steps through the stages of recovery. A recovery where after two years I claimed complete and total cure from the addiction. A cure that has remained with me to this day. If you or someone you know has become addicted to alcohol, would you chance a program where it is a given that most will fail? Or would you rather pursue a method that gives complete recovery? The Small Book: How I Beat Alcoholism and Why Alcoholics Anonymous Doesn't Work, explains the fallacy and failure of the AA mindset and why so many in traditional twelve-step programs return to the bottle. It shows how to navigate through the early horrific waters of acute detox and the beginning of the long protracted withdrawal phase to the two year mark of cure. And finally, how to develop a mindset that will leave the horrors of addiction in the past so the former addict can begin the road to the reinvention of being.
