Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle, so she left her successful role as a managing partner in one of the world's biggest advertising agencies to look after her family. She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'

Story
It's such a savage thing to lose your memory, but the crazy thing is it doesn't hurt one bit. A blackout doesn't sting or stab or leave a scar when it robs you. Close your eyes and open them again. That's what a blackout feels like. For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was 'the gasoline of all adventure'. She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as a strong, enlightened 21st-century woman.

Story
Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Alcohol is a powerfully addictive drug, and not the harmless social pleasantry that the marketing would have you believe. Willpower on its own has a 95% chance of failure. Quitting alcohol can be difficult unless you get the tools to help you reprogram your subconscious mind. This is the most forceful version of my stop drinking hypnosis range. Designed for people who are adamant that they want alcohol out of their life forever.

Story
When Kristi stopped drinking, she started noticing things. Like when you give up a debilitating habit, it leaves a space, one that can’t easily be filled by mocktails or ice cream or sex or crafting. And when you cancel Rosé Season for yourself, you’re left with just summer, and that’s when you notice that the women around you are tanked - that alcohol is the oil in the motors that keeps them purring when they could be making other kinds of noise. In her sharp, incisive debut essay collection, Coulter reveals a portrait of a life in transition.

Probably the most positive book about giving up booze I’ve read yet!
This book has completely changed my view of alcohol. I have gone from a bottle a night (and two a night at weekends to none - 2 weeks and counting. I haven’t set out to give it up completely, just cut down considerably, but the benefits I have experienced, spoken of in this book are just too fantastic to give up! The boys speak honestly and with total understanding to all of us “go hard or go home” drinkers. I can’t thank them enough.

Performance and recording is good. Content is a little bit laddish and like an emphatically upbeat piece of lifestyle content marketing. I can see how this would appeal to others but it’s just not for me.

I found it uninformative, patronising and painstakingly dull.
I would be genuinely amazed if anybody has actually managed to get anything out of listening to this drivel.
Arguably the worst book I've come across in this genre.

So, so....
There were some good motivational tips but many that became repetitive.
The majority of the book is based on common sense & your own will power. If you are a drinker, you will spot many of the messages & feelings following on from drinking to excess but if you are an occasional drinker who has it under control where it doesn't affect your life, then this book won't be for you.
