Drink, quit, relapse. For nearly 20 years, that was the exhausting cycle that ruled Katie Herzog's life. A journalist and podcaster, she tried everything: quitting cold turkey, 12-step programs, sheer willpower. Nothing stuck. Then she discovered a science-backed approach that didn't demand total abstinence from alcohol but used medication to quiet cravings and restore control. Her new book explores how this unconventional path helped her finally make peace with drinking. It's called Drink Your Way Sober: The Science-Based Method to Break Free from Alcohol.
