The book that inspired Chrissy Teigen and Sex and The Citys Miranda to quit drinking is "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whitaker. This thoughtful, moving book has the power to change your relationship with your entire life, according to Chrissy Teigen. Glennon Doyle also praised the book, stating that it can help a lot of people get to a healthier place. Johann Hari also recommended the book, stating that it is a qualifier for belonging.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at work events, lunches, book clubs, and weddings. Yet no one ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. In fact, the only thing ever questioned is why people don't drink. It is a qualifier for belonging. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. It is anything but.

When Holly Whitaker started to look for a way to recover, the support systems she found for recovery were archaic and patriarchal. Urging drinkers towards a newfound humility is great if you're a man, but if you're a woman and not in a position to renounce privileges you never had, a whole other approach is needed.

Honest, witty, and trenchant, "Quit Like a Woman" is at once a ground-breaking look at drinking culture, a call to arms, and a celebration of learning how to claim everything life has to offer.
