Summary

Listen to this audiobook and become a happy non-drinker for the rest of your life.

Feeling reliant on alcohol can be a difficult thing to come to terms with and even trickier to manage. This audiobook will cut through all that stress and set you on the right track with Allen Carr’s Easyway method.

Allen Carr established himself as the world’s greatest authority on quitting smoking. His ground-breaking methodology tackles addiction from an entirely different angle which has been successfully applied to other addictions and behavioural issues. His books have sold over 18 million copies in over 40 languages – and his revelation: that it can be easy and even enjoyable to quit.

In The Easy Way to Control Alcohol, his revolutionary method is applied to drinking. With clear step-by-step instructions, it shows you the way to escape from the ‘alcohol trap’ in the time it takes to listen to this audiobook. Allen Carr dispels our illusions about alcohol, removes the psychological dependence and sets you free to enjoy life.

This unabridged audiobook is direct, easy-to-follow and engaging way of digesting the method, which will help you control your drinking habit for good without willpower of sacrifice.

Very effective, although could do with some modernisation re comparisons

I never would have believed how effective this book could be.

You need to stay open minded and bits are a little out of date, but I am completely in control of my drinking now. In fact, I haven't had a drink for over a month (I was a daily drinker) and not had one craving or withdrawal, despite continuing a full social life.

Good luck to the next reader, I hope Mr C works as well for you x

Very interesting

I can see how alcoholics stopped drinking after reading this book. People who don't quit haven't really understood the book , understanding the book and its message is something you've never heard before about drinking , be prepared to be shocked as the story twists. I myself have told all my friends I have stopped drinking after reading this , will it last? Only Time will tell .. I believe it will. I'm free. Come into this book as skeptical as you want.

It worked!

What did you like most about The Easy Way to Control Alcohol?

I was a bit cynical but wanted to quit and I thought I would give this a go. I have been drinking heavily now for 15 years (7-8pints a day easily) and after listening to this audio book I have completely stopped now for 2 weeks.

What about Richard Mitchley’s performance did you like?

He understands the issues and unravels them with emotional intelligence and IQ

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This guys talent was to clearly understand and articulate a map through what I did not think was possible and take me out of the maze I was trapped in. Easily the audiobook that will have the biggest impact on my life.

Any additional comments?

Thank you Allen only wish I could thank you in person

Not an alcoholic

Read on. Not just for alcoholics. An interesting read made me think. An interesting read into bad habits. I haven’t stopped drinking but no longer drink Monday to Friday.

Personally this was a game changer.

I listened to this book after a friend recommended it exactly a year ago. I was fed up of being in the habit of moderate drinking for too long but seemed unable to break out of it. Don't get me wrong, I didn't feel drink was a problem or ruining my life, it just had started to annoy me. So I stated the listen with no real intention or desire to quit.. however when the reasons why so many of us drink were laid out one by one, it eventually becomes a game changer.
I now have well and truly broken out the habit, instantly, easily and painlessly. I'm not barred from alcohol, it feels more like I've barred alcohol from me. It's like my brain has been rewired for the better.
I just wish I'd read this book 20 years ago.
I can't say it will work for you, but listen with an open mind, take some bits with a pinch of salt, (and don't expect to agree with every word) and you never know, it may change your life for the better for ever too.

Geniusly obvious but I was blind.

I've read Craig Becks " Fastest way to Quit drinking...guaranteed.
It's to me, an attempt to take some, not all, of the good parts of this genius book. This is the real deal in my opinion. Get this if your serious you want to be free. Get it.
Thank you Allen Carr. ( Freeeeeedom)

Life Changer

What did you like most about The Easy Way to Control Alcohol?

To put it simply I'm free and I have a life that I did not know existed. Because I started drinking in my mid teens I never knew what adult life really was. I feel like I am on a high every day. This method is simple and makes sense.
If I had a good day - I needed a drink, if I had a bad day - I needed a drink. Now I can see very clearly that I did not and any time I think like that now the feeling is quickly dispelled. Freedom.

It works

Good book that stops the brainwashing of alcohol within, society and the media. Recommended highly for those who want to control their alcohol.

Best book on the subject and it works.

I've been a functional drinker, hard work has brought me some nice toys over the years. I've had this feeling that alcohol has recently been a bigger part of my life than i thought. A shopping receipt for £117 had £50 worth of alchohol on it. My dog passed in Aug 15 and I listened to another book on a trip to Wales and stopped drinking for a month. Since then I've drank more than ever. I decided to try a different book and 2 weeks ago i had my last drink. I didnt relise it was, the book was working. I truely think this book debunks ever possible arguement for drinking and its changed my life.
I knew when I quit last time I would be hankering after alcohol, i used watch peoples glasses go from table to mouth like a starving child watching somebody eating.
Parties, Birthdays and family events have all happened in the last 2 weeks and I've sailed through. Alcohol is a confidence trick, trick me once.....
If you want to control/quit, get this book.
