Who is Holly Whitaker? What was her recovery from alcoholism like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holly Whitaker’s book Quit Like a Woman<\/em> not only details how to give up alcohol, but provides a personal account of her own struggle with alcoholism. She takes readers all the way back to when she first started drinking to the day she went fully sober.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the inspiring story of Whitaker’s recovery so you can learn how to quit like a woman too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whitaker\u2019s Denial of Her Alcoholism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To learn how to quit like a woman, we need to go back to Whitaker’s teenage years. Whitaker started drinking at age 13 and continued drinking throughout high school, which led to bad grades, a reputation as being sexually promiscuous, and low self-esteem<\/a>. In college, she got her life back on track, but when she later started moving up the corporate ladder at a healthcare startup, her drinking, drug use, eating disorder, and spending spiraled out of control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Whitaker recounts her experiences as a young drinker, and many of the consequences she felt are seen in the broader population of underage drinkers. Beyond what Whitaker lists, underage drinkers also frequently have broken or unfulfilling relationships<\/a> and are prone to violence. Further, heavy drinking at an early age is correlated with low self-esteem, depression, and other drug use\u2014which we see in Whitaker\u2019s later life, as well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, she was unwilling to admit that her drinking was a problem, justifying her continued consumption by comparing herself to friends who drank just as much and convincing herself she hadn\u2019t passed the threshold of \u201calcoholic.\u201d In fact, she dreaded the idea of being an alcoholic and having to give up fun\u2014for her, drinking had become the only way to enjoy herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Whitaker was displaying signs of denial through her years of adult drinking. Denial is a psychological defense mechanism wherein someone refuses to acknowledge an objective truth<\/a>. The brain denies the truth because recognizing it would lead to anxiety and discomfort. This was certainly the case for Whitaker, for whom the idea of being \u201can alcoholic\u201d would create extreme distress and alienate her from her normal activities and social groups.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitaker\u2019s Recognition of Her Alcoholism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, over time, Whitaker began to despise her high-pressure, drink-heavy lifestyle and tried to get herself on track by meditating, eating well, and doing yoga\u2014though, notably, not by giving up drinking. Then, one morning, she woke up hungover in her filthy apartment on a stained mattress without sheets and realized she couldn\u2019t do this anymore. She realized the first step toward building a lifestyle she wanted was to stop drinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: For Whitaker, it was \u201chitting bottom\u201d that morning in her bed that ended her denial. Hitting bottom is a relatively common concept in addiction and is often the event that forces someone to confront their problem<\/a>. However, it doesn\u2019t always require hitting rock bottom to break through denial: If you suspect you might have a problem with any addictive behavior, see a therapist or start noting when and how much of the addictive behavior you engage in\u2014for instance, how many beers you have a night. Seeing this on paper makes it harder to deny the existence of a problem.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitaker\u2019s Quitting Alcohol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whitaker quit drinking twice before doing so successfully. The first time, she quit because she became convinced she had Borderline Personality Disorder. This, to her, explained her struggle with alcohol and was a good reason to stop drinking. She stayed sober for eight weeks before drinking again. This started a period of binging and vacillating between drinking and being sober. She went sober again for two weeks and finally went fully sober on April 14, 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Whitaker\u2019s denial of her alcoholism drove her to seek alternative solutions for her off-track life and emotions: yoga, meditation<\/a>, and the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. It seems that while Whitaker was using an <\/em>internal explanatory style<\/a>\u2014explaining events as being the result of her behavior and mindset, not as the result of environmental factors\u2014she was finding the wrong <\/em>internal explanations for her excessive drinking: stress and a disorder, rather than addiction.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
