Thank you William Porter.

The tone and pitch of both of William’s ‘Alcohol Explained’ books have been perfect for an educated and generally high functioning person such as myself; schoolteacher, family man. I managed to quit alcohol some years ago after acknowledging the hold it had over me, and maintain long periods of abstinence. However, I believe I suffered for several years from unconsciously clinging to an idea that one day I might be able to start over as a moderate or ‘normal’ drinker. The occasional re-listen to William’s ‘Explained 2’ in particular, really helps me to perceive the nonsense of this idea and clear me of the notion that alcohol must still have something positive to offer me. William’s ‘fantasy’ versus ‘reality’ of our perception of alcohol’s effect is very nicely articulated and a powerful tool to have in one’s mind.

Amazing

As with Alcohol Explained, this book is so well written. It teaches you about the workings of alcohol on our brains and bodies and gives the reader a whole new thought process around it. It has a little humour and a lot of fabulous advice that really sticks! Highly recommend and I will be reading it again!

My most listened to QuitLit. Vol 1 helps you get sober, Vol 2 helps you stay sober.

No BS. Makes a lot of sense. Easy to listen to doesn't sound like a sales pitch as much as others. I found this second edition very helpful in addition to the first. Good to re-listen to over and over as you set about your new sober life.
