Tipsy offers a practical and uplifting method for understanding your relationship with alcohol and making life changes fast. With a handy quiz to assess your emotional dependence, it provides step-by-step strategies for redesigning your lifestyle and nurturing self-love, health, energy, and vitality.

What sets Tipsy apart? A team of experts crafted its proven psychological method: 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 family medicine and urgent care, who brings a wealth of knowledge on alcohol-related issues. Drawing on case studies, research, professional insight, and firsthand experience, the authors of Tipsy have assembled all the tools you need to set yourself up for success as you interact with your family, friends, colleagues, and the rest of the world.

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.

So, what do you have to lose? Grab your copy and find out just how joyful life can be again when you’re not always… Tipsy.

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.
