How to Stop Drinking Without AA by Victor Canning Pdf

For many of us, drinking has become a destructive force in our lives, affecting our health, marriages, relationships, and careers. We desperately want to quit, but the thought of support groups, AA meetings, and lifestyle changes keeps us from taking action. To make matters worse, society labels us alcoholic, and we immediately feel a sense of hopelessness and impending doom. We imagine, or at least I did, a lifelong struggle, a daily fight, a constant vigilance to not take that first drink. If you want to free yourself to live life as you see fit, with passion, freedom, and excitement, free from thoughts and desires to drink forever, this book offers the solution. How To Stop Drinking Without AA was written to help people like you stop drinking without Alcoholic Anonymous. The solution is simple and the only one of its kind. It exposes the myth that quitting has to be difficult, painful, time consuming, or impossible. By explaining why you feel the need to drink, it outlines a simple step-by-step process that doesn't require willpower and removes the desire to drink forever. The process allows you to stop easily, immediately, painlessly, and permanently. I hope you read this book. It truly is the only book you'll need to get sober.

Quit Like a Woman by Holly Whitaker Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women and a gorgeous memoir of how one woman healed herself.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “You don’t know how much you need this book, or maybe you do. Either way, it will save your life.”—Melissa Hartwig Urban, Whole30 co-founder and CEO The founder of the first female-focused recovery program offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety. We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it. Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. You will never look at drinking the same way again.

The Sober Truth by Lance Dodes,Zachary Dodes Pdf

A powerful exposé of Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-step programs, and the rehab industry—and how a failed addiction treatment model came to dominate America. “A humane, science-based, global view of addiction . . . an essential, bracing critique of the rehab industry and its ideological foundations that we have much to learn from.” —Gabor Maté M.D., author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts Alcoholics Anonymous has become so infused in our society that it is practically synonymous with addiction recovery. Yet the evidence shows that AA has only a 5–10 percent success rate—hardly better than no treatment at all. Despite this, doctors, employers, and judges regularly refer addicted people to treatment programs and rehab facilities based on the 12-step model. In The Sober Truth, acclaimed addiction specialist Dr. Lance Dodes exposes the deeply flawed science that the 12-step industry has used to support its programs. Dr. Dodes analyzes dozens of studies to reveal a startling pattern of errors, misjudgments, and biases. He also pores over the research to highlight the best peer-reviewed studies available and discovers that they reach a grim consensus on the program’s overall success. But The Sober Truth is more than a book about addiction. It is also a book about science and how and why AA and rehab became so popular, despite the discouraging data. Drawing from thirty-five years of clinical practice and firsthand accounts submitted by addicts, Dr. Dodes explores the entire story of AA’s rise—from its origins in early fundamentalist religious and mystical beliefs to its present-day place of privilege in politics and media. A powerful response to the monopoly of the 12-step program and the myth that they are a universal solution to addiction, The Sober Truth offers new and actionable information for addicts, their families, and medical providers, and lays out better ways to understand addiction for those seeking a more effective and compassionate approach to this treatable problem.

How to Stop Drinking Without Willpower by Craig Beck Pdf

Craig Beck (The Stop Drinking Expert) was a well-regarded family man with two children, a lovely home, and a successful media career; a director of several companies, and at one time the trustee of a large children's charity. Craig was a successful and functioning professional man in spite of a 'two bottles of wine a night' drinking habit. For 20 years, he struggled with problem drinking, all the time refusing to label himself an alcoholic because he did not think he met the stereotypical image that the word portrayed.He tried numerous ways to cut down; attempting 'dry months', banning himself from drinking spirits, only drinking at the weekend and on special occasions (and found that it is astonishing how even the smallest of occasions can suddenly become 'special').All these 'will-power' based attempts to stop drinking failed (exactly as they were destined to do). Slowly he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction, and one by one, all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely did not want to drink anymore. In this book, he will lead you through the same remarkable process.The Stop Drinking Expert method is unique...* No labels - you are not an alcoholic!* A permanent cure. Not a lifetime struggle.* No embarrassing Alcoholics Anonymous* Forget about expensive rehab.* Zero ineffective willpower required.* No dangerous medication.* Treats the source of the problem, not the symptoms.* 5x more effective than traditional methods.Over the past decade, Craig has become recognized as the world's #1 quit drinking mentor. He has helped over 50,000 people to discover their own happy sober life. www.StopDrinkingExpert.com
