Recovery is a period of time when you will need people the most. As I've come to understand more about addiction, I found the position that is an outgrowth of disconnection to be far more encompassing of a complex nature of addiction and why so many of us suffer from it, and the rest to be somewhat reductionist.
Ever wondered what it takes to quit drinking in a world that seems obsessed with alcohol? In this episode of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast, Taryn and Erin chat with Holly Whitaker, the founder and CEO of Tempest, who has some eye-opening insights to share. Holly’s book, 'Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol', is more than just a memoir—it's a call to arms for women everywhere.
Holly opens up about her own journey of kicking alcohol and other harmful habits to the curb, but she doesn’t stop there. She digs deep into how the alcohol industry specifically targets women through clever marketing and manipulation. Her story isn't just about giving up booze; it's about reclaiming power and making a feminist statement. Holly also takes a critical look at traditional recovery programs like AA, questioning their limitations and advocating for more personalized recovery paths.
This episode is packed with thought-provoking discussions on the importance of community and connection in recovery. If you’re looking for inspiration, or just a fresh perspective on sobriety, you won’t want to miss this candid conversation with Holly Whitaker.
