Anyone read this book before? I first heard about it from Nikki Glaser on the Joe Rogan podcast. I looked into it some more and read a lot of good reviews about it so I decided to give it a go and I just finished it myself. It was a pretty quick read and mostly focused on challenging the way we justify drinking to ourselves.

Hey buddy…I sure did. It was one of the pieces of literature I got myself when I first got sober. I was a pretty voracious reader of anything sobriety related that I could get my hands on. His book did a lot to help me reframe the way that I viewed alcohol and drinking. I got a lot out of it and would recommend. Be well out there💛

Allen Carr uses classic CBT methods to reframe the way we view alcohol and situatuations that causes us to abuse alcohol. This is based on tried and true evidence based behavioural therapy - so if you take the ideas and lessons from this book in your stride, it will make your journey far easier. I would also recommend the book Change Your Thinking by Sarah Edelman as supplementary reading to Allen Carrs book. These two books combined will equip you with a powerful and life changing set of tools to stay sober. Trust me. This stuff works.

I’m looking for the final key.
I stopped smoking with Easyway fifteen years ago, and found it unbelievably easy. Every thing made sense. I simply no longer desired or wanted a cigarette so there were no cravings, no desire, so no willpower required.
I am a chronic alcoholic and have been trying to get sober for a very long time. I have read all the quit lit books …which in my opinion all use some form of Allen’s method - and although I understand about addiction, and there being no benefits to drinking …the penny just will not drop like it did for me with smoking.
I still believe there is something to give up, that I will be missing out if I never drink again. I cannot imagine a life without alcohol in it, and whenever I quit I just obsess about having a drink until I give in.
…. can you point me toward or show me how to get my mind to make that final shift? Thanks
