Summary: A great start to your journey
Comment: I was "sick and tired of waking up sick and tired" (to quote Mr. Waylon Jennings) ... and just wanted to stop this extremely unhealthy and anti-social cycle. I picked up this book because it appeared to be written in a style I would enjoy.
I kept drinking even after reading the book, but it weighed on my mind and was working away behind the scenes for a couple of months. One day, about two months ago, I said this is it... i want to choose the health benefits of sobriety. I want to get my energy back. I think the book served as a strong marker on my path to finally making that choice. So maybe it will for you as well.
I am now aware of how very very very lucky I am that I apparently am not addicted to alcohol. I simply had developed extremely bad habits over the years. In fact I strongly related to Helen's background. and because, thank god, i didn't have the body addiction to deal with, which means you can't just quit without medical guidance, I was able to just stop my drinking.
The book laid out the very clear picture of the benefits of NOT drinking. From health and social aspects - to the costs, both moneywise and time that it steals from your life.
For those who have developed bad habits, and have had the quantity of alcohol intake increase year after year, or have become anti-social with this bad habit - I think you will find this book a good accelerator for getting onto the road to good health.
For those who must strive to stop and deal with the addiction, I imagine this book would be a great gift to receive, or a 'first' book on the path of reading many others. It has great lists of UK resources, with explanations of what they provide.

Summary: Hope
Comment: This book will help give you some hope if you know someone with an alcohol problem or if you are looking for ansas yourself. Alcohol abuse whether it's your own or someone else's can get you very low and having some info about why someone can develop a problem can shed light into what can be a lonely place for everyone involved. Not everyone wants to address their problem and there are different ways to do it + there are no guarantees but there having hope is an important part of recovery and I think you find it in this book.

Summary: An awful instruction manual, written in the form of a Text Book!
Comment: This book really is that bad, I'd actually give it zero stars if Amazon allowed it.
Its only real purpose serves as a reference guide/directory for the reader to get in touch with external organisations- should they 'think' they need help!
Do yourself a massive favour- buy Allen Carr's book on the same subject which is infinitely more interesting and helpful than this garbage.....

Summary: An eye opener for those who don't even think drinking is a problem
Comment: I read this with interest urged by my non-drinker partner. His sensitivity brought to light how alcohol changes your personality and turns you into a different person. I did not use to drink a lot of alcohol, certainly I was not an alcoholic but, reading this, I realise what a drug alcohol is. It's a legal drug to be sure, but so infinitely more damaging than perhaps you may realise. Since stopping drinking it's been a revelation as to how much alcohol masks who you really are. A real eye opener, to be recommended to all.

Summary: Brilliant, Honest , down to earth book
Comment: Thank you Helen and Edmund for a brilliant honest book, Both My father and Brother are my alcoholics, so any book on the subject is of interest to me.
I read the book and was very impressed by the honesty that you have included in this book and how much practical information you have given.
My father is in the final stages of this horrible disease and would not find it helpful.
But my brother thought you had read his mind and put it in the book!! which I think just goes to show how much research and personal experience you have put into this.
I would have liked to see more about Al-anon as they have been my own lifeline, but if that is the only complaint it is a very small one.
Well done on the medical, social, and personal imput to the book, a very good informative read.
Well done to you both.
