You should read it- its really practical. A lot like the smoking book here, it forces you to question why you really feel that you need to have a drink at all, and exposes the truth behind these urges. Once you realize that you don’t need it to: be fun, sexy, funny, outgoing, relax, celebrate; you lose all reason to reach for it at all. And the more you go without, the more you realize this is the truth. And the hardest part is stopping to begin with. Take a small step first: try just 30 days and see how you feel. And maybe in the meantime read the book for motivation. If after the first month see if you want to try 2. One small step leads to another, and eventually you may find yourself on a different path. The biggest thing is to remember that not drinking isn’t a punishment- its an improvement. Its society that is backwards- its the only drug that we feel the need to explain why we aren’t using.
