Publisher's summary

Allen Carr's Easyway is the most effective stop-smoking method of all time and it has now been successfully applied to a wide range of other issues. Here the method focuses on one of the fastest-growing problems of modern times for women: drinking.

Alcohol blights women's lives often in a distinctly different way to men's: women tend to stay at home drinking alcohol; women often feel particular shame over drinking too much; drinking around children can be a particular burden. In summary there are a lot of added pressures on women to stop drinking, and often they feel this is an impossible task.

Luckily, Allen Carr's Easyway makes it easy to stop drinking. It's the tried-and-tested cessation method that really works. With startling insight into why women drink and clear, simple, step-by-step instructions, Allen Carr shows you the way to escape from the alcohol trap in the time it takes to listen to this audiobook.

Not a fan

This book claims to tell you the easy way to quit drinking.....classic too easy to be true situation. I listened for hours patiently waiting for the 'steps' and 'methods' they promised would change my life. There aren't any. Just think of alcohol as poison they say. And remember that people are attracted to shyness, and you don't need to be the life of the party, so voila! Just quit drinking! Waste of time. Learned nothing.

I was done drinking before the end of this book.

I drank for most of 32 years. I had finally stopped drinking for three months before the pandemic hit. After two months in and a renewed habit of nightly drinking, I was missing my good health habits, glowing skin, and energy to get through the day. On a fluke I came across a Joe Rogan podcast on YouTube. His guest recommended this book. I was skeptical through most of the first quarter but kept at it. I’m so glad I did. I gave myself the gift of sobriety for Mother’s Day.

Somewhat condescending motivational speech

It’s great whenever someone try’s to help you better yourself do I have it two stars for that. But.. this doesn’t have useful tools. It’s basically using stereotypical ideas of what women think to motivate you to stop drinking. Like you’ll look a lot better, age less, feel better etc. all true but come on.. we know all that. Clearly an outdated male perspective of how women think. Then they have a female read it, so we will identify with her. But it’s a male author, and that’s very obvious. If you want some motivation it’s fine. But don’t expect an easy breakthrough. It’s a little condescending if you’re an intelligent female.

Makes a compelling argument to stop drinking

I think this is a very sensible book. Everyone should read it. It made me realize how much I don't enjoy drinking. Looking forward to feeling and looking my best!

Just listen and absorb....

It really works... Haven't had a drink in 32 days... don't want one... can think about alcohol without wanting a drink. I can be around alcohol and not want to drink. The desire is gone. I just want to be me in a clear head and a healthy body. Not sure why nothing else seemed to work, but listening to this book made me see things differently. The only thing I can say is just listen and absorb what you hear. Stop the insanity of drinking for no reason-- things don't get better when you do drink, do they? If they do, do what you must... but if they don't, it's time to make a change.

This book delivered for me

I always knew AA wouldn't work for me. So, when I knew I was in serious trouble with alcohol, l did some research and became convinced AA was a bad bet for anyone. I stumbled into Allen Carr rather by accident in Stephen Guise's Mini Habits. I got the ebook, then when nearing the final steps got the audible book as well. I doubled back twice to re-read before entering the last steps, then finished with the audio. Following my ritual last drink, l immediately had no more desire for alcohol. Until then I was afraid of failing to quit, but no more.

Disjointed and Repetitive

This book has proved helpful for many, but I have difficulty understanding how. Annie Grace’s book The Naked Mind is based on some of Allen Carr’s work and is much better written and more accessible.

It helps. Seriously!

This book completely changed the way I view sobriety. I’m not sad or irritated, My cravings get smaller by the week, and I’m prepared to live sober.
