Struggling with too much and too often excess booze I have tried everything I could find: bought most of Amazon books on the subject, talked with AA, psychiatrists, took medicines et after each step getting more and more depress and feeling ashamed and useless. Then I read Allen Carr's book, thinking deep inside that it would be another usual book giving your advices, orders, telling you terribles stories in one word very negative. But I really found this time something to rely on. I found myself in those pages and the way I was dealing wrongly with life, stress and booze. This is the ONLY book to buy if you are concern about your drinking and sincerely want to do something about it. This writer is a bit of a magician !!!!....... but still very realistic and straight to the point. Buy it, not tomorrow or next week... buy it NOW and read it ASAP. It will save your life !.... it saved mine and gave me back MY freedom.

I've always been a heavy 'casual' drinker and I've tried to cut back using the willpower method before. It definitely does not work and who wants to be miserable for the rest of their lives trying it? I quit after reading this book and even watching my husband have wine or beer in the evenings does not bother me. THANK-YOU ALLEN CARR!!!

Last year, I searched Amazon for a book that might give me some advice/support on ways to help me control my intake of alcohol. I'd been a heavy drinker for nearly 35 years. I had no intent of quitting drinking when I bought the book. I read the reviews and had mixed feelings.

But, I will tell you that if you have any concern about how much you drink, if you have guilts or regrets over what you have done or said while you were drinking, and if you can read Allen's book with an open mind and a desire to improve yourself, I am convinced it will change your life starting the day you finish the book!!!

I'm a tough [...] and people consider me a man's man. But, I will tell you that I cried tears of joy when I finished Allen's book! Don't let yourself be swayed by Gertrude's review of this book. And, I won't tell you the secret of Allen's teaching.

Buy it! It is a tiny price for the value it will bring to your life. Be open minded and sober when you read it. I am a much better man, father, husband, professional... all because of this book. Do yourself and those around you a favor. Give it a read!

I was a heavy smoker and drinker for almost 3 decades, until my COPD diagnosis last fall (at the age of 42). The situation was absolutely hopeless, my dr told me to quit smoking immediately, and there was a chance that my emphysema could reverse, but attempting to quit had been TORTURE in the past and I knew even this wouldn't make me quit. As a last ditch effort, I ordered The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, and...it WORKED. within two months I stopped my 2-3 pack per day habit. I've been smoke free for ten months. At the same time that i purchased it, I also bought The Easy Way to Control Alcohol. It took a while to manage both, but as of tonight I'm 2 weeks and two days completely sober. I never could've done it without these books.
Make sure you give it a few reads, it takes some time for the info to sink in.
I HIGHLY recommend these Allen Carr's books, my quality of life has been drastically improved for buying them.

I was a binge/weekend drinker for 8 years and couldn't picture going out and still having a great social life without drinking. After reading this book, I immediately quit drinking because you start to realize that alcohol doesn't really provide you with anything beneficial...it almost becomes common sense to not drink rather than feeling like you are giving something up. If you ever wake up saying that you aren't going to drink again, or are going to cut down but somehow manage to get back to the same point, READ THIS BOOK and get control over this bad habit and truly feel free.

This is an amazing book. It works! His stop smoking book is great also and totally works. Buy this book !!!!!!!

I already had the idea that the most successful way to quit drinking was to remove the desire to drink, and this book helped me do that. I wanted to be able to have an occasional drink, but I now don't even see the point in having an occasional drink. I have suffered anxiety for almost my whole life, but the alcohol made it worse, not better.

It's not a bad book, I just believe that I wasn't motivated enough...BTW "control" really means giving it up completely...

A must read if you drink as Allen Carr teaches you that alcohol is not addictive.

Good book, pretty easy read. I think all people who drink should read this regardles of they have a problem.
