I was working long hours at a desk. I'd come home tired, and the first thing I would do each evening is open a bottle of red wine. My intention may have been to have a single glass, but that would be gone whilst preparing dinner, and you can't eat without a glass of wine can you? Well that would be half the bottle gone, by which time, I had a taste for it, and so each night I'd finish the bottle. Was I an alcoholic? I wasn't sure. Didn't most people drink about this much? I wanted to know if I was in control of the drink or if it was controlling me. I bought the book and read it in an hour or so. It's only little. I'm not sure I can even tell you now what the book said, but I stopped drinking that day four and half years ago. I haven't wanted a drink since. Looking back now, I wasn't in control. I often woke with a sore throat and feeling below par. I feel so much better not drinking, and it's all thanks to this little book.
