Allen Carr
The Easy Way to Stop Drinking
A Revolutionary New Approach to Escaping from the Alcohol Trap
Sterling Publishing, 2005
What's inside?
Don't let alcohol ruin your life. You can cure your drinking habit.
Recommendation
Allen Carr, author of the international bestseller The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, applies the same principles – see the poison for what it is and put it down – to help people deal with alcohol dependency. Carr says alcohol, like nicotine, is an addictive, poisonous drug that offers no benefits, only illusions. He forcefully disputes the long-held Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) belief that alcoholism is a fatal, incurable disease. In fact, he maintains that this fundamental AA tenet, largely supported by society and the medical profession, helps perpetuate alcoholism – which he calls a "plague on this planet." Instead, he says, you can cure your alcoholism, and he can tell you how. getAbstract recommends this book to those who want to know more about this strategy for putting a drinking problem behind you forever.
