The Easy Way to Stop Drinking
Carr offers a startling new view of why we drink and how we can escape the addiction. Step by step, with devastating clarity and simplicity, he applies the Easyway™ method, dispelling all the illusions that surround the subject of drinking and that can make it almost impossible to imagine a life without alcohol. Only when we step away from all these supposed pleasures and understand how we are being duped to believe we are receiving real benefits can we begin to live our lives free from any desire or need for drinking. The Easyway™ method centers on removing the psychological need to drink—while the drinker is still drinking. Following the Easyway™: • You will not need willpower • You will not feel deprived • You will lose your fear of withdrawal pangs • You will enjoy social occasions more • You will be better equipped to handle stress _The Easy Way to Stop Drinking_ is a landmark work that offers a simple and painless solution to anyone who wants to escape from dependency on alcohol without feeling deprived.

What Hacker News says
- "The Easy Way To Stop Drinking by Allen Carr", recommended for those who are curious about not drinking anymore.
- That could as easily have backfired, especially because AA is religious and has cultish vibes. A young person who drinks that much might well end up deciding to say fuck this and drink even more.
We know there are better and more effective ways (Sinclair method, or even just reading The easy way to stop drinking), but they don't have the cultural heft that AA has.
- I recommend the book The Easy Way to Stop Drinking by Allen Carr https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Drinking-Without-Willpowe...

- Another AA alternative is Alan Carr's book "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking".
It's a logical approach to repositioning alcohol as a poison that somehow 90% of our population embraces as normal.
- I stopped drinking four years ago.
What is consistently missing in the conversation about addiction is Alan Carr's book "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking" and "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking"
reddit/r/stopdrinking is also an invaluable resource.
