Publisher's summary

Craig Beck is a well-regarded family man with two children, a nice home, and a successful media career; a director of several companies and at one time the trustee of a large children’s charity. Outwardly, Craig was a highly successful and functioning professional man in spite of a ‘two-bottles-of-wine-a-night" drinking habit.

For 20 years he struggled to control his drinking, all the time refusing to label himself an alcoholic because he didn't believe he met the stereotypical image that the word portrayed. He tried countless ways to cut down; attempting ‘dry months’, banning himself from drinking spirits, only drinking at the weekend and special occasions (and found that it is amazing how even the smallest of event can suddenly become ‘special’).

All these 'willpower' based attempts to stop drinking failed (exactly as they were destined to do). Slowly he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction and one by one all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time he noticed that he genuinely didn’t want to drink anymore. In this book he will lead you though the same amazing process.

Craig is known around the world as "The Stop Drinking Expert" and many thousands of people just like you have quit drinking using his method. This updated edition of the best-selling Alcohol Lied to Me is new for 2014.

No need to declare yourself an alcoholic. A permanent cure, not a lifetime struggle. No group meetings or expensive rehab. No humiliation, no pain, and 100% no ‘will power’ required. Treats the source of the problem not the symptoms.

If Alcohol Is A Concern Then You Need This Book!

Would you listen to Alcohol Lied to Me - New Edition again? Why?

I am currently up to my third listen and have picked up even more with each listen. Using a combination of his own story and a generous amount of fact Craig really makes you reconsider your long held opinions of alcohol.

Considering that I have listened to other audiobooks and read other books on alcohol I thought this may just be a refresher. Boy was I wrong! With Craig's wonderful story telling ability this is a great listen for anyone who is considering their options with alcohol.

As someone who has been alcohol free for nearly 6 months at the time of writing it would have been great to have had this book prior to embarking on my journey of sobriety. He has really opened my eyes to what I am truly capable of without alcohol especially in social situations.

I am now extremely keen to check out some of Craig's other works.

I give Alcohol Lied To Me 2 bigs thumbs up!

Wow! If you have problems with drinking, listen to this amazing audio book!

I have always struggled with drinking, since I was about 19... I was drinking during the day and hiding it... drinking wine every night, and not just the small bottle... I’ve missed out on evenings with my family because I fell aseep aka passed out... missed time with our 8 year old I can never get back... I started this book 3 days ago and am already done... I haven’t drank since the first day, and I really don’t want to. He really helps make you aware of what you are doing to your body and what it does to your mind! I suggest listening to this book for sure... you wont regret it!

Very Effective

I will admit I've listened to a few books like this before but this one was by far the best. It kept my interest, pointed out things I never would have thought of before and gave me a whole new perspective on life. Now I'm feeling more confident than ever that I can do this and it feels amazing! Thank you!

Very inspirational

The author was so non judgmental, and kind in his delivery. He was funny, and incredibly interesting and educational. I felt supported when listening to him, and the shame I feel as an alcoholic actually started to dissipate. It was really quite incredible, and I am grateful I purchased this work.
