I tried several times to stop drinking previously, the longest I managed was for about 3 months. I think the hardest part is really deciding that you want to stop drinking. Once I did that, I read the book and it was easy. I haven't had a drink in about 6 years since.
What I like about this book is it doesn't make it into such a big thing like AA does. I don't think I was an alcoholic, though I did have some problem drinking types of patterns, and maybe the AA approach is necessary for full on alcoholics but I don't have to avoid going to bars or social situations where others drink for fear of relapsing, I just don't drink anymore.
I know this book has worked for a lot of people but no doubt it doesn't work for everybody. It made something that at times seemed impossible for me seem easy though.
