Kick the Drink...Easily!

First review on Amazon, but worth the time to me. For me, this book was a amazing and a unique perspective on addiction. I had already decided to go sober before reading this book (a few weeks earlier), and after considering different ways to deal with "recovery", this book presents a MUCH more optimistic way to view the disease of addiction and your ability to kick the booze while gaining power, confidence, clarity, other positive gains on and on... This positive way of looking at how we can "easily" break away from addiction is very empowering (for me currently, do your own thing if you disagree- more power to all of us however we get there). Regardless, it's an easy read and I found myself really enjoying the message and actionable thoughts presented. The title "easily" is pretty awful (again, an opinion), but I purchased this book based on the positive reviews, and I'm glad I did. Thanks Jason, very impactful.

I absolutely loved this book and not only did everything Jason say make total sense..but he has cured me of drinking alcohol. I can say this is only very early days ......(three weeks) but I know that my life is precious and I am not going to shorten it by taking an addictive drug which does me no good at all. I am 62 years old and female. I am happily married for 36 years with four children and four grandchildren. I live in Australia and until I finished Jasons book drank at least two glasses of wine every night. For the last four years I have had a month off drinking in February for a charity with the aim of raising sponsorship money by abstaining from alcohol. Although I always felt so much better after a month of no alcohol I always went back to my old ways of alcohol every day. (and counted the days of the month until I could drink again) Unfortunately the drinking culture is very strong in Australia with access to alcohol virtually 24 hours a day. As Jason points out more deaths are caused by alcohol or alcohol related incidents than caused by heroin but one is a legal drug and I'm sure most readers will have been touched by alcohol addiction. Thank you so much Jason for opening my eyes. Friends and family are incredulous that I have given up alcohol and can't believe I can still have fun and not want a drink of alcohol. I just can't believe it myself ~ but to wake up every morning feeling absolutely wonderful with a clear head and so much more energy. I recommend everyone should read this book. Jason's strategy really did free me of my alcohol addiction by altering my perception of alcohol in such a way I no longer feel deprived if I don't have a drink. It is a total lifestyle change for me and I want to shout from the rooftops I am cured and it's a wonderful precious life. Thank you Jason.

I just bought this book and already half-way through, felt the need to post. I have been thinking of quitting for a while now, as I'm very much focused on my own health, but alcohol is the one area I still struggle, total hypocrisy. I live in a city that prides itself on it's drinking culture. Go Cubs! But it's no longer serving me personally, and I take it from Jason's perspective, that most people in this city are probably in denial about their own struggle with alcohol. I've read a couple books now, AA included, that just either didn't sit well with me (AA) or work (a book about moderation). Jason brings up points in the book that help me understand why the second book didn't work. It's truly about beliefs and what society has drilled into us about alcohol, with advertising, research on so-called benefits. But it's so much more than that. It's finally giving me the sober courage to let go of what was holding me back. I know it is a drug addiction, and I even admitted to myself, and to a friend the other day, that it's an addiction. I'm so against any other kind of drug, even marijuana. Why do I let myself approve of alcohol? It's even worse. Jason lays it all out there, speaks the truth and clearly states that there is absolutely no benefit to drinking. It's the hard truth anyone struggling with alcohol needs to hear and serves us all. I expect that by the end of this book, I'll be on the list of people who were "cured" after reading this book. I'm already on my way to a sober life with more confidence.

Read it once if you buy it and see what it does to you. I bought this one because a good friend of mine is offering free for anyone who is interested. Read it and then judge it.

Thats the way u gonna feel after this. Jason Vale is esy to understand. Totally human and authentic. Reading this is fun, in a good way, and still a lot of neccessary information. If you dont wanna stop drinking -DO NOT READ THIS! Because after that, you might loose fun in drinking;)!

I was already well on my way but this book gave me the final boost I needed to see the light. Anyone can go drink free. Just do it!

A very different and thought provoking point of view on the subject. As much a book about looking at societal values and drinking culture as a one about your own habits.

I couldn’t put it down. Now I feel it’s never been clearer to me how alcohol works and I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge and realisation into practice. Many thanks to Jason Vale for writing such a valuable book. I’m surprised it’s not more popular than it is.
