April 28, 2009: The way Allen Carr presents this book is very easy to understand. He made it clear of the effects of alcohol on your body and aging.Now I look at alcohol in a whole new prespective. When he talked about the medias role he was so on target. I started listening to the radio and watching tv shows much closer. When I could see how easy it is for kids to think that alcohol is cool because of the media I am now much more selective on what I let my kids watch. We had a long talk with our kids to explain advertising and how things my not be what they seem. He points out what long time alcohol abuse can do to you, and if you have health problems already you dont need more.
Allen Carr also put a lot of humor in this book and I think thats why it is a easy read. He does not make it out to be over shawdowing , you actually look forward to continuing this book. And if you do drink alot he does not condeem you, he enlighten you. When your done with this book you will deintly keep it for reference and to look back on.I am not a heavy drinker but after reading this book I found I can defintly live without alcohol.Reader Rating:

June 22, 2008: This book literally fell into my hands as an answer to prayer! I had struggled with alcohol use & abuse for over 35 years, and was certain that AA was not a viable option, nor was 'treatment'. I took the book home from the library on Thursday, began reading it on Friday, finished it on Saturday, took my last drink of alcohol @ 7pm that evening, and have had NO DESIRE for alcohol since! It has been over 1 1/2 years, and I am free!!! What a blessing!!!
