OMG! Day 3 and I am still feeling all doom and gloom over my latest drinking experience. So I pick up this book that I bought last week with skeptism, "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking" by Allen Carr. By the time I read the introduction, I began to get excited! I'm now on page 46 and I am convinced this guy knows what he is talking about! It's so easy to see the truth when the blinders are taken off. Alcoholism is NOT a fatal illness for which there is no known medical cure! After multiple attempts and failures, I am in a pit of despair, believing that even if I do succeed in quitting drinking, it will take weeks, months, possibly years of torture, that I would never be able to enjoy social occassions, that I won't be able to handle life's stress and that I will spend the rest of my life trying to resist the urge to drink. This guy has a different answer and attitude! If you have not read this book, please go out and buy it and if you have, let me know what you think of it.

I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
but I'm sure not who I used to be!
There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.

The Easy Way To Stop Drinking
Hi SOBS,
Yes that book IS very good - I got it out of the library last week and read the whole book within 36 hours! He does a lot to dispel the myths surrounding AL.. and he speaks a lot of sense about AL and how it grabs hold of you from that very first AL drink.. well done for buying the book, and make sure you read it all and let us know what you think by the end! l

The Easy Way To Stop Drinking
Hi Sick, I am glad you are feeling better. There has been so much chat about this book here, that I think I will have to get ahold of it. Mama I like your wording about your "aresenal" of techniques, that is also what I feel I need and use. Good idea with the library KatieB.

The Easy Way To Stop Drinking
I actually found a book called rational recovery that I read that was very helpful. I don't remember the auther and it didn't "solve" my problem but it gave me a few extra tools.I wish I knew then what I had to learn now.Comment
