Demands don’t work on me. Threats push me farther into defense mode. We are still getting a divorce. Once I started drinking alcohol, I felt like I opened a new door of “coolness” and acceptance that I had been missing out on. I could now go to that party and feel comfortable because I knew I could fit in with a drink in hand. Surely I had hit a new level of acceptance with really popular kids. Once I went to college, drinking became a whole new monster, but I was already seasoned from high school and ready for the challenge.

The book was okay in parts and resonated at some points, however the real help you need is once you have stopped drinking not helping you stop. The book offered little practical suggestions on how you ensure you continue not to drink and seemed to be aimed at just driving income for the author by way of you joining an expensive membership and purchasing hypnotic recordings I have not had a single sip of poison since the night before I found that book. I have zero desire for it. I will never again partake in the Norm of alcohol! You’ve given me a simple, logical explanation to why drinking has become such a problem this last couple years. All these 'willpower' based attempts to stop drinking failed (exactly as they were destined to do). Slowly he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction & one by one all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely didn’t want to drink anymore. In this book, he will lead you through the same fantastic process. That was the alcohol talking to me, that was my entire life’s norm talking to me, that was CHILD ABUSE!

not moderated or reviewed by doctors and so you should not rely on opinions or advice given by other users in I would say to any one who is struggling with alcohol to read or listen to this book I've been to AA & had councaing but it just made me feel so guilty, For the last 18 years, my drinking went from occasionally (after my son and daughter were born) to daily. Oh I could go a few days, even a few weeks when I had too, but it was always there in my head.

He calls a spade a spade and tells it how it is, alcohol is dangerous, addictive poison that is mis-sold by the advertising industry as something sexy and desirable, when in truth it is a life shortening, carcinogenic drug, that does nothing positive in any of our lives. Yes, that was bad, but then again a lot of things in my life were bad by that point and there were far, far, far more problems than just my drinking, or his drinking, or, or, or!

Some good stuff in here but it's a frustrating book in need of a proof-reader. This is a barely-modified take on Allen Carr's Easy Way but much thinner on meat, and full of sales pressure to buy his stuff (bibliomercial?). There are also too many lazy and misguided pop culture ideas presented as science, even those that contradict each other - an editor with scientific grounding might have helped. The fact that the author has written seduction manuals for men also makes my bs alarms ring...sham-wow. PERFORMANCE - The writer is a great motivational speaker and does a good job reading his own work. He has a pleasant British accent. Thank God I found your program. I get it. On the day I started the book, I embraced your approach and now am able I look at alcohol in a new light. Because of the hardwiring, you have constructed in your brain and your overactive hypothalamus. You may never achieve total zero, but every day you don’t drink, the base state of withdrawal drops a little further. Firstly, the discomfort will go away if you take a drink of alcohol, and secondly, that pain will dissipate if you give it long enough.

I listened to this book at work because a friend of mine said it was good. It was short so I decided to give it a shot and I'm very glad I did. I found this audiobook to be engaging, intriguing, and thought provoking, until I reached chapter 13 and learned that the "cure" was largely based on combination of supplements.

A cigarette in one hand, a bottle of booze, or beer or a wineglass full of poison in the other. Not good. Felt sh..tty and guilty about not advising my wife I resumed my test to see if I could drink and she caught me in a lie. I really felt like a failure. In this audiobook, he will lead you through the same amazing process. You can stop drinking today.... No need to declare yourself an alcoholic. No group meetings or expensive rehab. No humiliation, no pain, and no "willpower" required.

I think the audible gives the correct emphasis on the points Craig is making. He's obviously a gifted speaker and his talents really help drive home his beliefs. This is why many people become evening drinkers. The first thing they do when they get home after a hard day at work is reaching for the bottle opener. I knew I had a problem, I knew I was getting out of control and had lost control so many, many times in the last 30 odd years that I wanted it gone. However, I could not stop, I could not agree with what I knew in my heart was killing me. Books like these helped me get clear and aligned so that I do not have to make daily decisions about alcohol. I simply know the truth about it for me.As someone who has been alcohol free for nearly 6 months at the time of writing it would have been great to have had this book prior to embarking on my journey of sobriety. He has really opened my eyes to what I am truly capable of without alcohol especially in social situations. I listened to this on audiobook and it didn’t take a lot of time. Very interesting book. I also recommend Alcohol Explained and The Naked Mind- available on audio.
