The Easy Way to Stop Drinking

This book definitely made a difference in my ability to quit. It shares a different perspective on alcohol, promotes the concept that alcohol is poison. The reviews on Amazon.com caught my eye, I bought it, and it helped.

I used his Easy Way to Quit Smoking book.....it worked VERY well for me. I am 7weeks+ today without a cigarette. I am not using NRT either. I feel so FREE now that I no longer have AL or NIC to weigh me down. I hope that remains to be the story of my life forever? Krigs

It is an excellent book. It didn't make me quit drinking, but thats not the books fault. I still refer to it all the time. I love the way he writes. Very interesting analogies. A definate must read.

Well when you think it's the ethanol that gives us that good feeling and ethanol is in gas, it makes a person think, what the hell??

The Easy Way to Stop Drinking

I just read some reviews of this on Amazon.com ... was wondering if anyone could summarize his approach before I order? Does this involve taking any supplements? I know some approaches recommend this (e.g., Seven Weeks to Sobriety, My Way Out), but I can't tolerate some of them, so can't necessarily go that route.

The Easy Way to Stop Drinking

i don't think so twinkie, i believe it's psychological...sort of a way of training your brain?

let's see what people who have read it say...or i'll come back tomorrow when i get the book and fill you in.

No, no supplements. It just changes the way you think about alcohol.

Great read, but no easy way to stop drinking

This book had a huge influence on me, not in making me stop drinking but in changing my mindset about it.

His theory is that we have a lot of misconceptions about what drinking does for us and why we need it to fit into society. These are all not true and he does a job job in making his case about that.

So he addresses a lot of the psychological issues but not really the physical part of addiction. It's a good read if most of your roadblocks are not about having a major physical addiction, but in feeling like you can't cope socially without alcohol.

The Easy Way to Stop Drinking

I quit a 2 pack a day smoking addiction with Carr's "Easy Way to Stop Smoking".. that was in July, 2007 and i have never wanted one since, it was like a miracle.

I also credit his "Easy Way to Stop Drinking" with my current sobriety, AF since December 2008.

The books deal with the mental aspects of addiction. They help you see that you are not giving anything up and are not depriving yourself; alcohol has absolutely no benefits and the problems it "solves" are problems it actually "causes." That drink you are taking is relieving the withdrawal symptoms from the last drink, so if you don't drink, you don't need to drink! Amazing : ) And it works.. I don't have alcohol cravings anymore and rarely think about drinking *knock wood*

So... I feel these books saved my life and my health, I'd say they are pretty good : )

Love,
