Product Description
JASON VALE S APPROACH MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSE Whether you want to stop drinking altogether or simply wish to change your relationship with alcohol in the short term, this book will open your mind and show you an incredibly simply way to Kick The Drink! `I read your book last summer and I haven t drank since, more importantly I haven t wanted to, much to the surprise and admiration of many. I feel more alive, more confident, happier, fitter and younger than I have for years.` `It is difficult to know exactly where to start so I guess simplest is best ...THANK YOU. It seems such a small word for what you ve helped me achieve TOTAL FREEDOM from alcohol.` `I don t know whether to shake your hand or punch you in the face! Read the book and I just don t want to drink ...what have you done to me. Since stopping I just feel so alive, I ve also dropped over 20lbs in weight, so another wonderful side effect THANK YOU.`

I haven't quite finished reading this book, but it has already stopped me from drinking. I can't see any reason why I would want to drink any longer. Jason gives very compelling reasons why drinking is not a good thing, and the damage it actually does to your body and mind. Why most people who drink don't think that they are actually addicted. Great reading, in Jason's usual fun style. It has changed my total perspective on alcohol, even though I wasn't thinking of giving up totally, when I bought this book. I just wanted to cut down. Now I realise that it is very difficult to do this, and that I would be better off just stopping and not giving into this drug at all! Thanks Jase you have changed my life!

I have been aware of my excessive drinking for a longtime and have tried relentlessly to cut back, abstain, etc. I have to admit the fact that I searched out a suitable book showed desire, but I feared giving up. It took a while to receive this book and I haven't finished it but I already stopped drinking and have no fear about how I will handle situations where I would normally drink. I gave up smoking 8 months ago and I knew the day I gave up I would succeed. This book has given me the same feeling. If this is how I feel before I finish the book I am sure it can only get better... Thank you Jason Vale

This is an excellent book. I didn't feel a compulsion to give up alcohol when I started reading it - I only read it really because I have several other of Jason Vale's books and was interested to hear what he had to say on this subject.
Before reading this book I would have described myself as a 'social drinker' ( a glass or two of wine most nights, lots more on a big night), although I have drunk significantly less than I used to over the last 4 years, having been either pregnant or breastfeeding 2 children! My main motivation for reading the book was to lose weight by cutting down on alcohol.
However, I was fascinated by Jason's assertion that there is no such thing as an alcoholic and that everyone who drinks alcohol is an 'alcohol addict'. Jason challenges the way that we view alcohol and the way that many people who consider themselves to be in control of their drinking simply aren't! As Jason points out, if someone said that they only eat bananas after midday, they only eat so many a week and limit overdosing on bananas to the weekend you would surely assume that they have a problem with bananas (so why not with alcohol?)! As over 90% of the population drink alcohol it is considered 'normal' and we assume that anyone who is teetotal is not normal or must have had a problem in the past!
Jason finds many ways to challenge many of our long held perceptions or beliefs about alcohol. As I said earlier, I had no intention of giving up alcohol altogether when I started reading, but since finishing the book on Jan 2nd, I find that the last drink I had was on New Year's Eve and I have had absolutely no desire to touch a drop since! I have been to a couple of dinner parties and a black tie event since then (occasions where previously not drinking would have been inconceivable). My husband is incredulous, as are most of my friends. I must stress, I do not feel as though I am missing out, that I am 'on the wagon' etc, I simply DO NOT WANT to drink and feel absolutely free of all the control I had to exercise in the past (ie I won't have 1 til Friday, won't have more than 1/ a bottle of wine etc) - that's all gone!
Amazing book - open your mind!

Brilliant
Practical book with a Light Bulb moment!!! Gave up instantly as it quite clearly is a drug! Best part is how we would advertise it if we introduced alcohol as a new product today. Read more

A book about alcohol abuse, not about alcohol use.
The problem with this book is that the author makes it patently obvious that he has had major problems with alcohol in his own past. Read more
