My work is personal and subjective and how I make sense of the world and my place in it. I do not have all the answers, and the more I learn the more I’m convinced I know nothing at all. Love ethic and non-violence are my north stars. I believe all humans are inherently and basically good. I swing left equity, equality, and social justice are core to me and core to the alleviation of addiction. I find life to be excruciating but I also am thrilled by the mystery of it, the way it never stays the same. I enjoy gardening, piles of books, creating stuff, talking on the phone, and napping. If I had to choose professional labels for myself, I’d choose writer, researcher, teacher, student. I’m a person in long term recovery who thinks that the key to everything we’re looking for, individually and societally, comes from the work we do on ourselves everything starts when we stop running and because of that, it follows that everyone deserves the opportunity to engage in recovery. (Everyone!) I’m Holly Whitaker (she/her), and I’m the author of the New York Time’s Bestseller, Quit Like a Woman, and the founder of Tempest, Inc.
