HOLLY WHITAKER Hip Sobriety founder is stirring it up and we are loving it !

January 18, 2020 Posted by MONICA RICHARDSON Uncategorized 2 Comments

Holly Whitaker founder of Hip Sobriety just had an op – ed piece in the NYT The New York Times.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/27/opinion/alcoholics-anonymous-women.html

 

 

The Patriarchy of Alcoholics Anonymous

Women who drink too much need help. But we don’t need to give up our power.

By Holly Whitaker

Ms. Whitaker is the author of “Quit Like a Woman.”

  • Dec. 27, 2019

Great writing – well thought out , smart, young – created an affordable platform for helping other women like herself – so why isn’t everyone happy – She’s helping others with AUD – problematic drinking !

So in a matter of days we have two articles – also op -ed pieces that are really mad at Whitaker. Why/ Why would an AA member get mad that  a young woman has figured a better way for her to stop, reduce or change her drinking.

Sounds like the Steppers are not as spiritual as they protest to be.

He is one rebuttle to her NYT op- ed piece https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jan/15/alcoholics-anonymous-isnt-sexist-its-supportive-and-free

    Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other
    websites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would
    really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value
    your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
