Kick the Drink...Easily! Paperback – March 20, 2011

For the past few years i've been on a journey of self-improvement. But thanks to alcohol i would make 1 step forward and take 5 steps backwards. The older i got the worse the hangovers became.After a night of drinking, a chain of bad events would always happen:- Spend an embarrassing amount of money on a night out.- 3 days of experiencing a hangover from hell, sleepless nights and having the worst anxiety of my life!- Spend the rest of the week trying to recover back my energy and regain momentum that was there when i was sober.Deep down i knew that i needed to quit to make a big difference in my life...but i was terrified of quitting thinking that i was making a big sacrifice.I thought i would never be able to socialise again, that i won't have the confidence or be interesting without alcohol or that i will miss out on the buzz that drinking gives you.But it was all based on lies and brainwashing, alcohol doesn't do anything for you but take away your money, confidence, peace of mind, energy, health and so many other things.I'm having the time of my life without alcohol and i can't believe the lies i felt because of the brainwashing that was to make alcohol industry and government rich.Read this book from start to finish and you'll never want to drink again. It will be the best decision you'll ever make in your life! Thank you Jason for writing this book.

Of the many books advising how to quit drinking, most address the enormous and tragic societal costs of alcohol consumption, and its negative impact on individual health, and just how much nicer life would be without drinking. Thats all well and good, but the information is probably already known to the reader, and might lead to a temporary moderation or cessation of drinking. Another class of books treats alcohol addiction as a disease, or disorder, or syndrome, or chronic condition; this viewpoint has spawned an entire industry of therapists who will take your money to help you manage what the therapist and "recovering alcoholic" must mutually accept as an incurable, innate, genetic imbalance that can be managed, but never cured. "Kick the Drink...Easily" could probably have gone by a different name; "Break the Alcohol Trap...Easily" might be more accurate. In easy to follow prose, the author points out the sheer simplicity of the situation, takes your blinders off, and just as simply, helps debunk so many of the myths about alcohol, even those blindly accepted by other, similar books. "Its not you, its the drug stupid" could be another title for this book. The section on passive drinkers (those who don't imbibe but are in the zone of the drinker) and its collateral damage, much like passive smoking and its well-known health risks is very well written and a powerful reminder of the damage radius of alcohol consumption. For those looking for assistance, help, therapy, and ready to accept the victimhood status of helplessness before a powerful instinct or habit, this is not the right book. For the relatively aggressive, type-A, take charge, decisive type of personality, this book will show you the utter and sheer absurdity of drinking alcohol, so that the only solution is to...well, stop! Surprise, but it actually works. Money well spent on this book from my view, at the least, this is a very different, practical, and actionable approach. If you want to stop drinking, and stay that way forever, without the assumptions and demons that lead to psychological dependence and cravings, buy and read this book. Keep an open mind and you will see how cleverly the alcohol trap is set, by colluding forces in industry, government, society, peers, but ultimately by the drug itself, and how the drug works to keep you hooked on it.

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.
