Allen Carr's Quit Drinking Without Willpower
What’s the Book About?
The book is about becoming a happy non-drinker for the rest of your life. Its aim is to help you reverse the brainwashing that’s led you into the drinking trap. It does this by challenging two false assumptions about alcohol: (1) That you get genuine pleasure or support from drinking; and (2) That quitting will involve pain or sacrifice. This book boldly claims that quitting alcohol will not require willpower. The method instead removes the desire to drink. It promises that anyone can stop easily, immediately, and painlessly to regain control of their life.
