Alan Carr - Easy way for women to stop drinking
Polestar50 · 24/08/2022 07:10
I am looking for a book to help with motivation and wondered if anyone here has opinions on the difference between Alan Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol and his Easy Way book specifically for women?
All other recommendations? I've read quite a lot of reviews of books on Amazon and definitely into more straightforward, science-based books rather than emotional diary/life journey type accounts.
Many thanks!

That's meant to read 'Any other recommendations?'
Sounds a bit demanding otherwise!

Sorry no help with the alcohol, but I read the easyway and stopped smoking 3.5 years ago. It worked where nothing else did!
Good luck.

I can only vouch for the easy way stop smoking book. I stopped 18 years ago after smoking for 25 years. Wish you well.

I liked the easy way for women but, found Craig Beck was what really cracked it for me. Loads of suggestions on this thread. To be honest I have read all of the mentioned books and more. It really helped me in the early days.
I am now nearly 8 months sober and feel amazing. Good luck.

Annie Grace's 30 day experiment for me. Just over 2 years now, happy & content to be alcohol-free.
