You’re not alone if you’ve tried to drink less but feel stuck. Millions of other women have fought the same battle. Whether your goal is to moderate your drinking or quit alcohol entirely, the authors of this insightful guide have created an effective method to set yourself up for success.
Tipsy is designed for women who don’t consider themselves alcoholics but are noticing that their relationship with alcohol has become … complicated. And for good reason.
Twenty-first-century women are under tremendous pressure—whether single, working or stay-at-home mothers, overworked professionals, women going through a divorce, job loss, death of a loved one, or an empty nest—and it’s socially acceptable to have a drink to cope with the daily challenges.
Social conditioning teaches women that alcohol is a vital ingredient to socializing, celebrating, and enjoying life. Drinking culture reinforces this idea by telling women, “Having a drink is your right. You earned it. You deserve it. You need it. Everything is better with a drink.”
Having “just one drink” can quickly become a lot more drinks, followed by headaches, hangovers, and long-term effects on relationships, finances, career, health, and weight.
Then, one day, you wake up and realize that your relationship with alcohol is showing one or two red flags, including:
• Social drinking that goes beyond moderate alcohol intake
• Drinking more than the number of drinks you intended
• Always finding a reason or occasion to drink
• When alcohol is an ever-present component of your life
• When drinking is the usual or only way you can socialize with others
• When drinking is the way you cope with problems, loneliness, or boredom
• When drinking is the way you celebrate every win
Whether your goal is to moderate your drinking or quit alcohol entirely, TIPSY can help you replace unwanted habits without turning into a miserable, sober person.
