The Illustrated Easy Way to Stop Drinking

Ok book..It would have been better if some simple easy ways to win over the withdrawal symptoms were suggested.. A more practical approach towards it would have been great

This book literally made it so easy for me to stop drinking. I stopped cold turkey, the book opens your mind up to the realities of alcohol that we ignore.

I didn’t think anything could help. I did a miserable dry January. It was hard. I bought this book and thought. Good grief. How’s this gonna help. It sat there for a week on the table. Then I read it start to finish one afternoon. Had no cravings. No difficulty and on track to a healthy me. Three months now. Don’t judge the book by the cover !!! Or the sketches. Read it. It resonates.

Me parece muy sencillo, completamente digerible y sobre todo, real. Es un libro que con hechos que parecen muy lógicos, ya que los lees. Te llevas a ti mismo a la decisión de dejar de tomar .

I bought the illustrated version by mistake but now I realize that after reading so many self-help books on various subjects, I appreciate this book's simple (though, not simplistic) approach. Of course, it is not for everybody and of course addiction is a complex problem, given the acceptance of alcohol in society, but this book provided me with a point of view that I have been avoiding all this time and that I think is needed to quit.

I bought this book for myself for Christmas, I have often done dry January and Stoptober, but come the first of the following month I can’t wait for my glass of wine....which leads to a bottle and so it goes on.There have always been a million and one reasons for me not to give up alcohol completely but this time I thought I would give it a go, my drinking had got out of hand, I was drinking every evening, sometimes up to two bottles of wine.This book has set me free, I do not crave alcohol, I am not looking to replace it with something else. I don’t feel like I am missing out, I still go out with my girlfriends for fizz Friday but I have Lime juice and soda. I have just had a week away in Spain with my two sisters, who both enjoy a drink and I was happy with soft drinks. I did try a sip of wine but actually didn’t feel the need to drink, which for me is massive. Allen Carr you are a genius, you helped me stop smoking 22 years ago and now you have helped me to turn my life around once again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, this is the best decision I have made in years.I am going through a tough time in my life and was using alcohol as a crutch, I am so much better without it and feel so much clearer headed and positive.I didn’t think I could do it, but if i can anyone can, it’s certainly worth a try.
