Anyone read Quit Like a Women, by Holly Whitaker? Reading now and it’s making me consider extending dry January to 6 months, maybe a yr, or ever again...curious to hear if anyone else has read.

I listened to it! I really enjoyed it. And yes, it makes me not what to drink anymore. I’m not totally sober, but I am as sober as I have been in the last 15 years, which feels great. She approaches sobriety in such a compelling way. She makes me what to stop drinking just to stick it to the man!

CD1: I listened to it too! In same situation. Have not decided to quit yet, But more sober than the last decade. It does feel great. She makes a lot of interesting points and I wish more people were talking about this book. Found her take on AA especially thought provacative.

My male boss recommended the book “The Confidence Code” which is a self help book for women. It was recommended to all the females that work under him. I feel like that's a little inappropriate?

I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.
