I've often wanted to cut down and didn't understand how stopping altogether could be possible. I've drunk to the detriment of my life for the last 20 years. For the cost of a bottle wine I’ve been able to completely change how I see my life and feel amazing about being at the steering wheel. If you are undecided about this book just do it. But because I’m no longer physically and emotionally addicted I can make the rational decision ‘alcohol won’t serve me at this time’. Yes there’s been some tough times when I’ve gone into the old thought pattern- ‘ah I really need a drink’. I was then able to make clear choices about what I really wanted for me life. And would you believe that making dinner and dealing with the kids has gotten EASIER without alcohol!! This book broke the alcohol spell. The ‘magic’ of this book made the craving go away and 8weeks later I still don’t have it. Because I was emotionally attached I didn’t think it would work for me. Because I didn’t drink to excess at parties. Because I didn’t drink whole bottle in a night. I became angry that ‘my little helper’ was gone. I tried with will power but I was miserable and felt deprived. That doesn’t sound too bad does it?! My problem was that when I wanted to lose weight and look at my overall health I COULDN’T give up those two glasses. I got dinner made, done and survived until the kids got to bed.
I eased into this window of the day better. Coming home after work and having to reluctantly cook dinner alone for tired children is sooo depressing! Wine was my friend. I drank two glasses of wine every night when cooking dinner because I was exhausted and lonely. But it actually did! I didn’t drink socially or to excess.
