I bought this book originally in September 2017 direct from the Author’s site as an mp3 download, but have now purchased this book as a kindle and audio also. Yes people it’s that good. When I first read it I found it thought provoking, I was starting to really question my weekend binge drinking and also the lows that seemed to follow on. I often thought that I would love to be able to stop drinking, but alcohol has played an enormous role in my social life for so many years that I could see how to untangle myself.I gave up the idea within a week and went back to my usual weekend wine time.Then in April 2018on a very boozy holiday, I started to read the kindle version of the book. Something clicked and I knew that I didn’t want to carry on treating myself so badly, regretting drinking, feeling fed up etc. Through reading this books and dispelling the myths that I had grown to believe about “what alcohol gives me” I was able to see that there were actually zero positives to drinking. I knew that my life was going to change completely, and it has. I’m now 7 months free of alcohol. I credit this book as being the catalyst for that change. Ending the cognitive dissonance I felt around drinking was the key. Annie Grace goes into great detail about this in the book and takes the reader through ‘liminal points’ each of which dispels one of the the drinking culture myths that we are all brainwashed to believe.If you want to stop, or are questioning the role that alcohol plays in your life, please buy this book. It’s awesome in the truest sense of the word.

I purchased this book for my Dad. He had been really struggling with drink. He had been to support groups and tried numerous times to quit drinking but never with success. He was at his lowest point, so, after doing some research, I decided to get him this book. After reading the book he is now 9 months sober - the longest ever in his adult life. He has no desire at all to drink. I am so proud of him, and so thankful that this book was able to help.It has really been life changing.

Felt this was poor, despite the other great reviews. In fact, I returned it and then couldn't be bothered to take it to the Post box and so still have it. It is very US-focussed and full of some odd science. Sections where she unequivocally states with great confidence that '6,000 Americans in a blind taste taste proved you can't tell at all between good and bad wine' just really undermine her seemingly genuine appeal to people to drink less, or not at all. There are many similar moments throughout - the young man drinking a warm lager at a ball game when he'd (obviously, according to Annie) rather be having a soda, the friend that was inculcated into booze by her parents giving her a taste - it doesn't feel like this has been past a good copyeditor. There are many Obviously, According to Annie moments. The humblebragging about the youngest VP in a multinational and then C-suite blah blah and never missed a meeting, never once was late - well, so what? Are we to take that as evidence that 'wow, it could be anybody' or 'you never can tell' ? Or are we to reflect back on the author some kind of - well, that's amazing that you held it together, and now you're sober too! I suppose if this book gets even one problem drinker off the booze, it is worth it and it works - which is fantastic - but the sermonizing and the sheer insularity of the US perspective are grating and clearly a self-published book/blog in fancy clothes.Maybe I will continue to read it despite not enjoying its strange 'liminal moments'.

It works! I have not had a drink in 8 months and don't want to drink again. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I was the 'get home from work and open a bottle of wine immediately' kind of drinker. Alcohol was controlling my life.

Disappointing book. I’m surprised by all the favorable reviews for it. It’s basically a rehash of both Allen Carr’s and Jason Vale’s work. The frequency with which she refers to these books, and her constant use of Carr’s pitcher plant analogy, is pretty much indicative of the lack of any new ideas here.
