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.

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.

Made the world of difference

I highly recommend. Read it the first time and didn't finish (big mistake). I quit for a few weeks but went back. I opened the book a second time over the past summer 2019. I have not had a drink since Labor Day 2019. I finished the book the second time. I went back to certain chapters to review. I think that is important to mention. I truly believe that Allen Carr gave me the edge to do it. I have drank for 30 years and got into very bad habits. His book for women really gets into how and why women turn to drink. I say give it a try.

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.

Surprisingly Effective

I downloaded the book at 4:30 in the morning after a night where I vowed (again) to quit drinking. I listened to it straight through, going step by step. I have not had a drink since and have no desire. The mindset shift this book provides is amazingly effective and simple to embrace. While I have a long road to go, I've found letting go of drinking to be easier than I thought as I focus on the benefits of not drinking and the downside of drinking. Thanks for this life-changing resource. ;0)

Very interesting and helpful yet extremely repetitive

I guess the repetition is part of the process, but it did make it quite tedious at times to listen to. I ended up listening at 1.5x speed towards the second half and that helped.

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!

it actually works

This book really works to help stop drinking! A younger family member was able to stop his very severe drinking after listening to the other 'Easy Way' book. He recommended the original 'Easy Way' book to me, and after doing some research, I ended up buying the women's version. Well, it's been about 2 months since I first listened to this book, and I haven't had a drink since I finished the book (I had been drinking 2-5 drinks per night for years, and my husband still drinks daily after work). We all kind of know 'why' alcohol is bad, but listening to someone break it all down to you, and describe all the great things that will happen to you after you stop, is actually VERY helpful...for the price of this book, I was able to stop a habit that was robbing me of my health and making me feel guilty and ashamed...with minimal discomfort and without feeling deprived. Great narrator. A good book to buy and listen to even if you don't plan on stopping drinking at the moment. 100 percent recommend.
