I think the audible gives the correct emphasis on the points Craig is making. He's obviously a gifted speaker and his talents really help drive home his beliefs. This is why people incorrectly claim that a drink when they get home from work helps them unwind. The only thing that the first drink does is to turn off the withdrawal symptoms of the previous days drinking.

You know someone has stopped something bad for them, yet you offer, plead, convince them into ingesting the same poison as you!It IS a miracle my daughter cannot stand alcohol (or so she says) but does smoke cigarettes (daily) and pot (occasionally). My grandfather on my mother’s side and his brother both had a SERIOUS drinking problem. His brother finally stopped drinking and asked his mom- my nana, to no matter what it takes give him his daily pill to help not drink. 1.5 years later, clean and sober, he was killed.

A lie has no truth, support, or foundation to stand on. Some lies are easy to see and decipher, while others, not so much. The full chemical withdrawal from alcohol, regardless of the amount you drink, lasts around two weeks. Climbing to a climax around 36 hours after the last drink and slowly fading away to near zero after a couple of weeks.

He demanded I stop drinking all alcohol completely, stop cooking with it, stop having wine at dinner in restaurants, stop it all completely or he’s filing for divorce.

Growing up, I sort of felt out of place. While playing basketball and other activities gave me a sense of identity and a core group of friends with whom I bonded, I always felt a little out of place outside of these environments. While I was approved of in school because I was the “good basketball player” I always felt like I just did not always quite fit in and felt awkward. First thing I found was Alcohol Lied To me! I thought “What a Silly Name for a book- alcohol doesn’t talk to you. It doesn’t have a way TO lie to you! Ridiculous!” This lie, that I can stop when I want, empowers me everyday now. Instead of stopping, I remind myself everyday, for the past 3 plus years, that I choose not to drink. I am not allowing alcohol to enter my life today, so there is no reason to have to stop, because I did not start.

I was looking for information on how to walk away from alcohol, after feeling something not right inside of me, and after many years of problem drinking. Supplements to help stop drinking are not the silver bullet to alcohol addiction. They simply make it easier for you. However, you must get your mindset correct first. Considering that I have listened to other audiobooks and read other books on alcohol I thought this may just be a refresher. Boy was I wrong! With Craig's wonderful story telling ability this is a great listen for anyone who is considering their options with alcohol. I had never seen or learned of a different norm. Not from friends, family, my husband. No-one showed me differently, and I didn’t want to see anything else anyways. The non-smoking did not last of course. All these "willpower" based attempts to stop drinking failed. Slowly, he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction and one by one, all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely didn't want to drink anymore.
