The effect has been surprising and incredible by B. Hall 5 Stars
November 10, 2009
First off, anyone that has rated this poorly surely didn't read it, or read it closed minded only to dispute it. The book offers up a lot of what you already know but don't, or try not to, think about. I have a kegerator plus bar in my dining room and was up to at least a pitcher of beer per night every night (and much more sometimes) while drinking my entire weekends away. I am 40 and have been centering my activities more and more around drinking. One thing I have done for over 5 years (to convince myself I didn't have a problem perhaps) was to go completely dry every January. It has become tougher every year to do that. The month seems longer every year and from day one I have looked forward to February 1st so I can grab that first beer. I have known, for a long time, that I really needed to cut back or stop drinking all together. Even though I controlled, to a certain extent, my drinking, it definitely was a problem. Somewhere online one day a few months back I read a blog that was talking about AA. I have never liked AA (not that it may not be right for you), but I was sent there after a DUI and couldn't stand the BS the, "old timers," told. To me it was more of a free therapy session for old drinkers than anything that could really help me quit. And the smoking killed me. Finding non-smoking AA meetings was almost impossible. Again, it may work for you and I'm not knocking it for everyone, it just wasn't at all right for me. Anyway, I was online and someone was talking about their drinking and going to AA. Someone posted a response that just said, "if you really want to quit drinking, just read Allen Carr's easy way." Intrigued, I looked it up after reading these very reviews and bought it. I didn't really believe a book on this would be a life changer. But I wanted to see what it was about. When it arrived I started on it right away. Looking back, there is nothing miraculous here, but miraculously I lost my urge to drink completely. For the first time in years I came home, looked at the kegerator and passed it by. His writings made so much sense to me that I kept finding it difficult to understand how I didn't realize it all these years. The more it made sense, the less I wanted to drink. Years of drinking, so much anticipation in January to get to February. Sitting at work looking forward to getting home so I could start drinking. Going to my kids baseball and football just hoping it would be a quick game so I could get home to my precious kegerator! Avoiding getting more education or going on trips that could interfere with drinking (all of my trips were all-inclusive so I could drink as much as possible). Finding friends that could share my drinking with me and excluding most of those that didn't. All of those great drinking years and traits were wiped out in about a 100 pages of reading. Something that I didn't really think could happen. And the best part, I have no desire to touch the stuff. Once the desire is gone, the problem is gone. I stopped and looked at my bar this morning, and instead of thinking of a drink, I thought to myself that I should sell it. Same fate that the kegerator is going to meet. The bottom line is that this book works and is great. I have passed some big tests. Halloween party where all my friends were drinking. I didn't even come close. I have a trip scheduled that is not all-inclusive. I'm going to get my scuba certification while there. I have wanted to for a long time but because it took up three full days, it would have ruined my drinking time. Not now! I'm in to my second month now. This would have been unimaginable three months ago. My brother asked me why I wasn't drinking. I told him because I'm done thanks to a book. He asked to borrow it, he read it, and he's over a month now without drinking. I can't say enough about this book. It is great! Buy it and start living your life again.

A must read for everyone who drinks by Robert Milliken (USA) 5 Stars

The best book I ever read as it is a must for anyone who drinks.

Unbelievable by JellyBean (chicago) 5 Stars
November 03, 2009
This is November 3 and I have not had a drink since August 7 due to this book. I was scared to death I COULDN'T quit (drank every day either - At least one bottle 13.5% wine or a half pint of vodka or 6+ beers#. I have no idea why this works but halfway through reading it #I still haven't finished it) I just knew I wasn't going to drink anymore. I look at alcohol in such a different way now - not as pleasureable but as pathetic. So weird but it really worked.

THE SWEET TASTE OF FREEDOM by kathryn (Southeastern USA) 5 Stars
October 12, 2009
I highly recommend this book! I was on my umpteenth quit, about 2 weeks into it when I found this book. I have no doubts I would have gone back to drinking alc eventually as I did with every other quit. But before even finishing 1/2 of the book, I KNEW I would never take another alcoholic drink again. This after 30 plus years of 'enjoying' alcohol. Allen Carr totally exposes drinking alcohol for what it is: ingesting a powerful addictive poison on a regular basis because society has brainwashed us into thinking it's normal. So much of what we attribute to aging is actually the effect on our bodies of years of poisoning ourselves (whether we do it a little or alot). I do believe one day enough people will wake up and change their thinking about drinking this poison and alcohol will be a thing of the past. As Allen says, it's not that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages: THERE ARE NO ADVANTAGES TO DRINKING ALCOHOL. Amen to that. Here's to the sweet taste of FREEDOM! ps. His book, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking also works like a charm!

Very Powerful! by pensname (Australia) 5 Stars
September 15, 2009
Geez there are some good reviews for this book on here. It's the main reason why I purchased the book in the first place and I thank you all for your contribution to my good health. I had been drinking anywhere from 3-6 glasses of wine every night for the past 15 years and the evidence could be seen on my gut, in my depression levels and on the scales. I've cut down before to 5 nights a week and even to just 2 nights so that's what I really wanted to do again. I didn't want to give up completely - not to STOP drinking altogether - what would my family (of drinkers) think! The title of the book did scare me a little - "Easy Way to STOP Drinking", but I thought, what the hey I can just read the book and then use it to lessen the amount I drink. NO WAY! This book is magic - it stopped me, in my habitual tracks. Allen Carr insists that you keep drinking whilst you're reading it - how good is that! So I did and after each interesting section I relayed what I had read to my husband and we discussed it a little - the topics were so clear and interesting to us. I gave up drinking when I was about at the half-way mark of the book, and to my surprise my hubby did to, and he didn't even read the book! How powerful is that?! My last drink was 31 July when I had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner at my sister-in-law's birthday celebration where I found myself not really "needing" it. I don't crave the drink at all and I feel so much better, less stressed and with my new diet and supplement routine I've taken 4cm off my "beer" belly already. I feel great! A couple of weeks ago I found myself reflecting on how easy it's been to just STOP and found started to wonder when I might possibly be tempted to have a drink and what SPECIAL OCCASION that might be - the next birthday celebration or maybe at Christmas time??? Ewwwww I thought, having a drink won't be a special occasion to me. Enjoy! the book :)
