The author is a self-help author who has been on the road to recovery from alcoholism.<br/><br/>All you need to stop drinking is a strong will and some important information about addiction. This book contains the condensed knowledge of a "dry" alcoholic and it describes how addiction works and how to stop it. The secret to success is simple to understand and implement.<br/>The only thing you need to accept is the following: <br/>Alcohol addiction is a disease that cannot be cured! However, you must not use it as an alibi. <br/>Never believe in controlled drinking. If you feel the need to control something, you will be controlled by something. <br/>Also, do not switch to non-alcoholic beer, wine, etc., as this will not change your behavior pattern, but will continue to reinforce it. Sooner or later, this ends up back in alcoholic beverages. <br/><br/>Think about it!
