Hi Guapo - I read you post yesterday (really inspiring) and you mentioned two books which helped, one was Jason Vale - can you remind me of the other one. I took a look yesterday and the author you mentioned also offers an online programme - did you do this or just read the books. I was in a rush and didn't make note of his name - but you've revised your post today. Thank you :)


Sure. Jason Vale " Kick the Drink - Easily" and Stanton Peele "Recover"

The titles don't do justice to the books. Both are superb, and will change your whole concept of alcohol. I had mentioned this in my now revised post, that these are the sorts of things were what really turned things around for me, even more than TSM.

How are you doing , snapdragon ? I don't think you've posted around here for a while.



Thanks Guapa - I've not been doing too well really. I've been totally compliant for nine months now and still drinking too much. I managed four AF days at the beginning of July and then fell off track again. That's why I was interested in the books helping you to turn the corner. I have actually read Allan Carr a few years ago when I was trying to give up - not sure what happened to it, but I've ordered Stanton Peele from Amazon and am waiting for it to arrive.

I have made some changes - been going to the gym four times a week. Just need to get rid of the damn wine now! :lol:

Well snapdragon, I took a very different view of alcohol after reading those books. Led me to enjoying alcohol free days, and being OK with drinking sometimes, but just not seeing it as the great escape it once was.

An escape to insanity perhaps!
