About Holly Whitaker
Holly Whitaker started Tempest in 2014, a year after she became sober. Tempest is a trauma-informed recovery program, and her approach departs from the traditional, male-dominated models of recovery. Quit Like a Woman is a memoir and self-help book about drinking, the influence of the alcohol industry, and what women need in order to recover. Her work has been covered in the New York Times and Vogue, among other outlets, and Inc. named her to its 2019 Female Founders 100 list.
