5. ✨ Badass Woman: Empower Yourself and Bid Adieu to Booze! 🍸💪
Ready to give alcohol the boot? Unleash your inner badass with Holy Whitaker's empowering guide, Quit Like a Woman, and embark on a journey to reclaim your strength. When this gem first landed on my desk, I confess, I rolled my eyes – quitting drinking? Not my thing. Yet, here I am, two (quiet) years into sobriety, and both my sacred self and bank account are singing praises for the decision.
Quit Like a Woman isn't just a guide; it's a wake-up call. Holly's words hit me like the truth-telling friend we all need (minus the actual slap, though the reality check was just as effective). Drinking, often touted as a solution to our grind, is something capitalism uses to control us. Holly lays out the facts in a captivating and fun way that only sobriety can deliver.
For those diving into dry January, ponder your why. Could it be a forever thing? Holly might have the solution laid out for you, and trust me, it's as captivating and fun as the journey to sobriety should be. 😉
