Review: Carr's Easyway Approach Really Does Work! - I thought I would add my experience to the reviews of others'here. I am 46 years old, and have been drinking since my teens. Like most drinkers I started off drinking beer at college parties, and then progressed to spirits in my twenties. Later in life, and for about the last 15 years I've realised that I have a real problem with alcohol. I have a professional office job, which despite my drinking problem, I have been able to hold down fairly well, apart from the days when I've been too hungover to go work. In recent years, my daily routine is to head to the pub after work for a few beers to "wind down" and then I'd pick up a couple of bottles of red wine to have before, during, and after dinner. Most nights I'd end up just passing out on the couch with the TV still going. This has been a daily routine and the extent of my life for the past 10 - 15 years. I have tried many times to stop, but invariably without success. I've tried all the available medications; Antabuse, Campral and Revia (Naltrexone), but I found that none of them were really helpful. I've spent thousands of dollars on sessions with psychologists, who really only help in helping you to come to terms with "your troubled past" as if somehow that's going to magically cure one's alcohol addiction in the present. I've also tried AA, acupuncture and hypnotherapy. In short, I had reached a point where I had tried just about everything to quit drinking, but the most I could last without succumbing to temptation would be just one or two days tops. On the rare occasion where I used willpower not to drink, I would just feel miserable and irritable because I couldn't have a drink. I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I would be a regular heavy drinker for the rest of my life. Basically I had given up on giving up. A month or so ago, a friend of a friend recommended the Allen Carr book, and after doing a google search and finding the book here at desertcart I thought it might be worth giving it a go - especially after reading all the positive reviews. The book only costs about the same as a bottle of wine I figured, so not too much to lose if it didn't work out! I finished the book over 3 or 4 days, and that was two weeks ago. I can honestly say that since finishing the book, I haven't had a drop of wine (or any alcohol) to drink. I realise that two weeks isn't very long in the grand scheme of things, but it's the longest I've gone without alcohol in over 20 years. I can also say, that I have no desire to drink, and I don't feel that I am missing out on anything by not drinking. I think this is one of the great fears of a heavy drinker - the dismal prospect of a life without the crutch of alcohol. In his book Carr dispels all the fears and myths about alcohol and explains that alcohol is an addiction like any other. While we all might realise this already, he puts his case forward very clearly, using logic as the basis to both support and dispel some of the approaches of AA, and also to challenge some of the prevailing wisdom of so called "experts" in the field. I don't know how Carr's book works, but it does. He says that we can quit without willpower, and the weird thing is, that after reading the book I found that I could. It is nothing short of amazing. I really don't know how else to describe it. Chapter by chapter he exposes some of the myths about alcoholism, including the myth that it is an "incurable" disease, and that alcoholics must be vigilant about never touching another drop. He also challenges the view that giving up alcohol is difficult and requires a lot of willpower, hence his approach called "Easyway". His style has drawn some criticism for being repetitive, but I think that's partly how it works. He reminds us of key points over several chapters and uses useful analogies that we can relate to. Importantly he is never condescending. He understands what it's like to be struggling with alcoholism and presents his case for overcoming the control alcohol has over our lives with passion and conviction. One thing to consider if you are thinking of about buying this book is that Carr's approach is all or nothing. In other words, he says that we must give up alcohol completely. So it is not a book I'd recommend for those seeking to simply "cut down" their drinking. For the first time in my life I feel that I have finally escaped the alcohol trap, and it is purely down to reading this book. In the introductory chapters, all Carr asks is that you keep an open mind, and that you read the book from beginning to end (ie don't skip to the end), and then follow the instructions at the end. Bizarrely, Carr asks that you continue drinking until you reach the last chapter, but naturally only read the book when you are sober. I can highly recommend this book to anyone who feels that their life is being overtaken by alcohol and wants to stop completely. I'm amazed at the results even in just this short period of time. Clearly Carr is on to something as evidenced by the experiences of other reviewers here like Big Mac. If you are like me, and have tried many times to quit without success, I would really recommend this book to you. It might just help you in the same way as it has helped many others. Review: The effect has been surprising and incredible - First off, anyone that has rated this poorly surely didn't read it, or read it closed minded only to dispute it. The book offers up a lot of what you already know but don't, or try not to, think about. I have a kegerator plus bar in my dining room and was up to at least a pitcher of beer per night every night (and much more sometimes) while drinking my entire weekends away. I am 40 and have been centering my activities more and more around drinking. One thing I have done for over 5 years (to convince myself I didn't have a problem perhaps) was to go completely dry every January. It has become tougher every year to do that. The month seems longer every year and from day one I have looked forward to February 1st so I can grab that first beer. I have known, for a long time, that I really needed to cut back or stop drinking all together. Even though I controlled, to a certain extent, my drinking, it definitely was a problem. Somewhere online one day a few months back I read a blog that was talking about AA. I have never liked AA (not that it may not be right for you), but I was sent there after a DUI and couldn't stand the BS the, "old timers," told. To me it was more of a free therapy session for old drinkers than anything that could really help me quit. And the smoking killed me. Finding non-smoking AA meetings was almost impossible. Again, it may work for you and I'm not knocking it for everyone, it just wasn't at all right for me. Anyway, I was online and someone was talking about their drinking and going to AA. Someone posted a response that just said, "if you really want to quit drinking, just read Allen Carr's easy way." Intrigued, I looked it up after reading these very reviews and bought it. I didn't really believe a book on this would be a life changer. But I wanted to see what it was about. When it arrived I started on it right away. Looking back, there is nothing miraculous here, but miraculously I lost my urge to drink completely. For the first time in years I came home, looked at the kegerator and passed it by. His writings made so much sense to me that I kept finding it difficult to understand how I didn't realize it all these years. The more it made sense, the less I wanted to drink. Years of drinking, so much anticipation in January to get to February. Sitting at work looking forward to getting home so I could start drinking. Going to my kids baseball and football just hoping it would be a quick game so I could get home to my precious kegerator! Avoiding getting more education or going on trips that could interfere with drinking (all of my trips were all-inclusive so I could drink as much as possible). Finding friends that could share my drinking with me and excluding most of those that didn't. All of those great drinking years and traits were wiped out in about a 100 pages of reading. Something that I didn't really think could happen. And the best part, I have no desire to touch the stuff. Once the desire is gone, the problem is gone. I stopped and looked at my bar this morning, and instead of thinking of a drink, I thought to myself that I should sell it. Same fate that the kegerator is going to meet. The bottom line is that this book works and is great. I have passed some big tests. Halloween party where all my friends were drinking. I didn't even come close. I have a trip scheduled that is not all-inclusive. I'm going to get my scuba certification while there. I have wanted to for a long time but because it took up three full days, it would have ruined my drinking time. Not now! I'm in to my second month now. This would have been unimaginable three months ago. My brother asked me why I wasn't drinking. I told him because I'm done thanks to a book. He asked to borrow it, he read it, and he's over a month now without drinking. I can't say enough about this book. It is great! Buy it and start living your life again. *UPDATE* It's been over a year now since I read the Easy way. I'm going to be honest here. I have drank a few times. Sold my bar and kegerator. Wasn't sad to see those go. A few times over the course of 2010 (4th of July, halloween and a trip to Cancun) I did drink. I didn't drink near as much during those few times and I had NO problem not drinking afterward. The months just melt away without even thinking about booze. It's great. I'm truly free at this point! Will I drink again? I don't think about it but perhaps once in a while. *UPDATE 2* 12/15/2013 Wow, has it already been 4 years? So I thought I would update my review and let everyone know how things are going. I'll be brutally honest. I have been drinking this year (not even close to my pre-Easy way years), but more this year than the last three combined. I found the thoughts of easy way have become a bit vague. I don't get wasted like before, I am far from drinking every night, but I suddenly realized that I'm drinking a couple of times a month. Back on the slow slide down I guess. After last weekend I woke up and felt like #$%@ and tried to figure out how I got to this place again. So I pulled out my copy of Easy Way, read through it, and was like, "DOH!" It was just as good a read as the first time and by page 100 I was like, "enough of this!" No more drinking again! The price I paid for this book has probably saved me about 10,000 dollars over the 4 years at this point. I'd say that's the best investment I've ever made (and that's not including my health). Did I mention that when I first read Easy Way I weighted 310 pounds (6'2" tall). After quitting drinking I dropped to 260 after about a year and a half. I've held steady at 260 now for all four years (without dieting or exercising). Those 12:00am plates of nachos after drinking all night also were cured by Easy Way! Best of luck to everyone. ## Features - The Easy Way to Stop Drinking - 1402736479 - ALLEN CARR - ALCOHOLISM ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #300,193 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #503 in Alcoholism Recovery #33,734 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 338 Reviews | ## Images ![The Easy Way to Stop Drinking: A Revolutionary New Approach to Escaping From the Alcohol Trap by the Author of the EasyWay to Stop Smoking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TpfUJgJ6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carr's Easyway Approach Really Does Work! *by T***N on July 15, 2011* I thought I would add my experience to the reviews of others'here.

If someone is ready to stop drinking, and has come to realize how destructive alcohol is, this book can work. Warning, however - it is in my opinion not written well. The older gentleman that wrote it is a huge fan of analogies, but many of those analogies that paint the pages one after another are pretty thin. Furthermore, it's pretty obvious sometimes that he hasn't really done his research. Regardless of this, there are some very, very valuable gems in the pages if you keep an open mind and use your own intellect to create the arguments when you think his are failing. Quite simply, the message works, but you do have to suffer through the book in its entirety to get the whole "counterintelligence" to sink in. I used to be a smoker. I started when I was 13, and by 16, quickly and easily moved to a pack a day. I tried quitting several times, and a couple of times I quit for a good year before lighting up again. Suddenly, at about 30, I was able to quit for good. It was indeed rather sudden, and I've never craved a cigarette since. I can be around smokers and it doesn't bother me, and neither do I want to share a smoke with them. What happened was of course a change in perception of smoking. Once I truly realized that I didn't want a cigarette, that I was simply addicted to them; and once I realized that all the hype about cigarettes being good and cool was false, it was easy to quit. This book basically does the same thing. Smoking was easier because the whole world was waking up to cigarettes at that time. I have noticed that a lot of younger people where I live in the US don't really care to drink. A surprising lot. Perhaps that's a signal of a shift in group thinking. Who knows. Anyway, if you've come to see how much damage alcohol does, and you want to be happily free of it forever, this book is worth the time to read it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1832532-the-easy-way-to-stop-drinking-a-revolutionary-new-approach](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1832532-the-easy-way-to-stop-drinking-a-revolutionary-new-approach) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
