The message of traditional recovery is that you need to shut up and listen. It says you need to go to ninety meetings in ninety days … It says you don't know and you can't be trusted—the program is smarter than you are, all you have to do is work it and it will work.

Introduction
Alcoholics Anonymous is the best-known way to treat alcoholism; however, the program was created by men for men. Many of the principles embedded into the 12-step program work against feminine energy.
In Quit Like a Woman, author Holly Whitaker, who is in long-term recovery herself, outlines a new approach to alcohol-addiction treatment for women.
Whitaker's approach embraces feminine energy with practices like kundalini yoga, meditation, therapy, and proper nutrition.
Whitaker is a New York Times bestselling author, host of the Quitted podcast, and founder of the digital recovery platform Tempest, now known as Monument.
