the easy way to stop drinking

[peacenik]

is it just me or is the author the most annoying obnoxious writer EVER!!!

i cannot get past his writing style to even find out if his technique, or theory is plausible!!!
i can only read a page or two in a sitting...

anyone else suffer through, i mean read this book?

I actually read it and hated it. Then by accident, I bought it a second time, and read it again and liked it better. Maybe it was just my mood at the time.

However, I don't think the author is realistic. This is a quit smoking technique rewritten for drinking. I found the example that you "wouldn't pour a drink onto a computer keyboard, therefore you shouldn't pour a drink into yourself" to be ... you fill in the word.

Could not stand the book or his style of writing. His theories were far too simplistic and I think it is ridiculous to say that anyone who has ever had a drink is an alcholic, even if it is once a year.

Hmm...I loved the book, kept it on my nightstand for referrence for quite a time? I like his sense of "humor"? He is very dry, writes kind of old fashioned. I think he was older when he finally quit the booze. Like 70 or something. I love his analogies.

We've reviewed this book several times here in the past, and there were several folks at that time that enjoyed the book. I don't know if it ever actually helped anyone to quit (it didn't for me), but it added to my arsenal.

Just my 2cents

have to say, i didn't like it myself. i know he did the easy way to stop smoking first and i am not a smoker, so maybe it works for that, but i really felt it wasn't for people who had serious drinking problems. maybe for people who just drank a bit too much, and that certainly ain't me guys!

i too wanted to read it to add to my non-drinking arsenal, but he is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me...i'll try again someday, just to see what it's all about...for now i'll stick to "dharma bums"!

I've not read it, but I have to question the title - I think I would keep clear of anything that claims there is an 'easy way to stop drinking' - just that seems to undermine the complexity of the issue, but maybe I should keep a more open mind and accept anything that may give me support in this process!

I bought The Easy Way..... & MWO at the same time from Amazon and couldn't get myself to read past the first few pages after reading MYO TWICE! If I still had the receipt, I'd return the damn book.

I'm with you, Peacnik. Umm, just stop drinking. There you go...

Sh*t, if I could have done that, I wouldn't have needed advice.

I didn't like the book either. I thought his tone was goofy, and his whole thing about "AL=poison." AL is poison to some, but not poison to all. It's not like drinking Comet. I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't real helpful. The title promises too much, I agree.
