I didn’t believe it would work for me.

But it actually did!
I didn’t drink socially or to excess. I drank two glasses of wine every night when cooking dinner because I was exhausted and lonely. Coming home after work and having to reluctantly cook dinner alone for tired children is sooo depressing! Wine was my friend. I eased into this window of the day better. I yelled at the kids less. I got dinner made, done and survived until the kids got to bed. That doesn’t sound too bad does it?!
My problem was that when I wanted to lose weight and look at my overall health I COULDN’T give up those two glasses. I tried with will power but I was miserable and felt deprived. I became angry that ‘my little helper’ was gone. Life just didn’t seem worth it.
So because I wasn’t a raging alcoholic. Because I didn’t drink whole bottle in a night. Because I didn’t drink to excess at parties. Because I was emotionally attached I didn’t think it would work for me.
Well it did.
The ‘magic’ of this book made the craving go away and 8weeks later I still don’t have it. And would you believe that making dinner and dealing with the kids has gotten EASIER without alcohol!!
This book broke the alcohol spell. I was then able to make clear choices about what I really wanted for me life. Yes there’s been some tough times when I’ve gone into the old thought pattern- ‘ah I really need a drink’. But because I’m no longer physically and emotionally addicted I can make the rational decision ‘alcohol won’t serve me at this time’.
If you are undecided about this book just do it. For the cost of a bottle wine I’ve been able to completely change how I see my life and feel amazing about being at the steering wheel.
Please do this for yourself as well. X

Very Effective

Highly recommended for anyone looking to get out of the trap of alcohol. It provides facts and logic. Common sense prevails from there on.

Quit drinking

Interesting stuff but very repetitive. However it helped me quit so it must have struck a chord.

Reformed

After many attempts to pull my habitual drinking up this book was the final tool that helped me pull up my bottle of champagne per day habit.
3 weeks on, I’m feeling committed and focused on the facts. Fueled with truth and a clear head I’m now a non drinker.
Thanks Allen Carr

Hectoring and Opinion-based Approach

There is no authority propping up this book. Sometimes persuasive, but regularly relying on wordplay rather than anything objectively true.

The obvious

Read it twice if needed as recommended by the author. Very simple strategy and it encourages you to look at what your missing out on in LIFE
