Product Description

Carr offers a startling new view of why we drink and how we can escape the addiction. Step by step, with devastating clarity and simplicity, he applies the Easyway™ method, dispelling all the illusions that surround the subject of drinking and that can make it almost impossible to imagine a life without alcohol. Only when we step away from all these supposed pleasures and understand how we are being duped to believe we are receiving real benefits can we begin to live our lives free from any desire or need for drinking.
The Easyway™ method centers on removing the psychological need to drink—while the drinker is still drinking. Following the Easyway™:
• You will not need willpower
• You will not feel deprived
• You will lose your fear of withdrawal pangs
• You will enjoy social occasions more
• You will be better equipped to handle stress
The Easy Way to Stop Drinking is a landmark work that offers a simple and painless solution to anyone who wants to escape from dependency on alcohol without feeling deprived.

Great information about alcohol5
I had a drinking problem for many years and have tried rehab, AA, and other self-help kinds of treatments to get alcohol out of my life. This is the book that actually worked. I was very skeptical at first, since I thought the title must be some kind of gimmick. I was expecting something like eat three bananas and chant for a half an hour a day kind of thing.

What the book does contain is not any kind of gimmick, but an incredibly thorough discussion about alcohol....what it does to you, and more importantly what it does not do to you. After learning the true nature of alcohol, I just don't want to drink any more. There isn't even any willpower involved.

Like a previous reviewer, I am amazed that this book/method is not in wider circulation. Perhaps the multibillion alcohol industry and the multibillion rehab from alcohol industry don't want people to know.

If you want to get rid of alcohol, please try this book. All you have to lose is a few bucks (probably less than you spend in a few days on booze)

Barely deserves 1 star!1
Sorry, I read this book, and I just don't get why there are so many good reviews about it. It seemed to me to be chapter after chapter after chapter of fluff. Not a good read if you ask me. I've read better books on this topic that have some real solutions. Don't waste your time with this one.

Should be required reading for teens and beyond!5

This is an amazing book! I read it in one sitting
and was mesmerized. I have known many AAers and it
seems like they are waiting for the ax to fall. This
is such a freeing way of escape from devastation. My
only problem with the book is how withdrawal is treated
so lightly. Yes, most people will just sweat and feel
slight shakes, but others can experience Grand Mal seizures.
My father did and ended up in the ICU for four days and the hospital
for a week. I feel it's important to consult a doctor before instantly quitting. The principles are excellent and I enjoy the way he writes.
I had three sips of a last drink and gagged through each of them.
Poison. Yuck!
