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.

Nice complement to Alcohol Explained

Alcohol Explained 2 is a great reprise of many of the concepts in Alcohol Explained 1; but it goes further and introduces other ideas which the author has considered since writing the original.

By the time you complete AE1 and AE2 you will be well placed to implement any changes you desire to your relationship with alcohol.

Great information

Listen to Book 1 first for the foundation of WHAT alcohol does to the body and WHY you should quit. It motivated me to want to quit.

This second book goes into more detail about HOW to quit with practical & detailed advice. The conclusion chapter spells out this whole book very succinctly.

Highly Recommended

I've read a few books to help me stop drinking alcohol but this one really has been extremely helpful. Great easy to understand information on how our minds and bodies are affected by the poison. I love the first book and was pleased to find this second one. 11 days sober and will keep these books handy to re read if needed.

great follow up

definitely cemented my confidence and decision to stop drinking alcohol forever. Read book 1 first. I’d ready a number of other quit drinking books before but these were by far the most important to my ability to quit and stay quit!
