Quit Like a Woman: the Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol looks at alcohol and recovery culture from a feminist, political and opinionated approach, aiming to fire up the reader into questioning alcohol’s influence in our society and engender change.  The reader is encouraged to step back from the societal influence of alcohol (which Whitaker makes the case was marketed similarly to Big Tobacco, with a consumer-focused push and withholding medical risks and data) and labels sobriety a “radical choice.”  Overall, Whitaker challenges the traditional recovery community that can seem one-size-fits-all and encourages a lifestyle approach to wellness and recovery, asking us to consider “How much is alcohol causing a problem in my life?” rather than “Am I an alcoholic?”
