Product Description
by David Miller (Author)
This book provides a revolutionary look at drinking and a radical new road to recovery.
We live in a world preoccupied with drinking. We drink at baby showers and business gatherings, breakfast and book club, graduations, and funerals. Yet no one ever disputes alcohol's ubiquity-in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn't drink. It is a qualification for belonging and if you don't consume, you are considered an aberration. As a culture, we are preoccupied with health and wellbeing, but we support alcohol as some sort of miraculous elixir, despite it being everything but.
David Miller decided to seek counseling for women, He began on a trip that exposed the pernicious effect alcohol plays in our culture and the lives of women in particular. What's more, He could not ignore the ways that alcohol businesses were targeting women, just as the cigarette industry had successfully done years before. Fueled by his help feminism, he also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people-who don't need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Miller discovered an alternative path out of addiction, he felt a need to develop a sober community with tools for anybody questioning their connection with drinking, so that others can find their way as well. His consequent feminine-centric recovery method focuses on getting to the fundamental issues that drive individuals to overindulge and offers the skills required to escape the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we eliminate alcohol and dismantle our belief system surrounding it.
Written in an approachable style that is honest and amusing, Ways of Quitting Like a Woman is at once a pioneering look at drinking culture and a road map to cut off alcohol to live our best lives without the crutch of drunkenness. You will never look at drinking the same way again.
Furthermore, this book aims to explain the falsehoods being told about why people drink, is alcohol having identical sensation with cigarette smoking, is alcohol influencing our life and most particularly women and as well profer remedy on stopping alcohol and enjoyable things to do instead of drinking alcohol
