Tipsy - by Alicia Lamberghini-West & Pilar Karlen Triplett (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Are you in control of your drinking, or is it in control of you?

Tipsy is designed for women who don't consider themselves alcoholics, but are noticing that their relationship to alcohol has become ... complicated.

Having "just one drink" can easily become a lot more drinks, followed by headaches, hangovers, and long-term effects on relationships, finances, career, health, and weight.

If you've tried to drink less but feel stuck, you're not alone. Millions of other women have fought the same battle. Studies show that relying on willpower alone can be ineffective. 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, using case studies, research, professional insight, and experience.

What sets Tipsy apart? This practice-based approach using psychological tools is crafted by a team of experts: Dr. Alicia Lamberghini-West, a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience in women's issues and addictions; Pilar Karlen Triplett, a certified Life and Health Coach specializing in total life transformation; and Dr. William Triplett, a family physician specializing in urgent care, who brings a wealth of knowledge on alcohol-related issues.

Tipsy offers a practical and uplifting method to understand your relationship with alcohol and make life changes, fast. With a handy quiz to assess your current level of emotional dependence, it provides step-by-step strategies to redesign your routines and nurture self-love, health, energy, and vitality.

Find out how joyful life can become when you're not always...Tipsy.

Review Quotes

Tipsy: A Woman's Self-Guided Method for Managing Alcohol is not only a book about recovery, it's a beautiful guide to self-discovery! As a clinical health psychologist, it is

refreshing to find a resource that directly explains the unique female experience of substance use issues. In Tipsy, the authors effectively address "the seductive pull of your comfort zone," "the feminine drinking culture," and the "willingness to be vulnerable" as women bond over alcohol. No other book so aptly explores the nuances of feminine alcohol use! Inspiring, empowering, yet down to earth-this book is an ESSENTIAL TOOL for both women and any clinician who works in alcohol treatment.

In my professional practice, I've noticed a concerning trend: an increasing number of women are turning to alcohol more frequently. According to the insights shared in Tipsy, this rise in consumption may be closely related to the numerous pressures and challenges women face in their daily lives. The book provides a comprehensive self-guided method designed to assist women in controlling their drinking habits. This approach could be highly beneficial in preventing both emotional and physical dependence on alcohol, and in helping women avoid the various negative consequences associated with excessive drinking. By addressing the root causes and offering practical strategies, this book has the potential to make a significant positive impact on many women's lives.
