This was very good. I gave up drinking in one momentous decision. I was told by my cardiologist to lose 10kg before the next appointment, and give up alcohol. I did both. No looking back, or looking at others. I want to live, and regain better heart health. It’s a no-brained. This book summary has supported my new aspiration.

I found the easiest way to stop alcohol is to think of it as poison which it is in reality . So at the supermarket i deliberately avoid the alcohol aisle. Sometimes that fails but it does get easier to say no.

Wow I have this book... tnk for share about...

What do people think about gifting this book to someone who’s already shared that alcohol is a problem in their life ?

My son is having trouble with drinking to cope with challenges. He’s aware of it and has spoken to me about it. He hasn’t had a drink for a week now. He says he won’t drink again till he gets his life sorted. Do you think me buying this book as a gift might help him at this point, he probably won’t buy it himself but it sounds like it’s just what he needs?

64 days sober because of Allen Carrs book ❤

It's not the drinking that's hard. It's the being forced to give a shit about conforming to a way of life that you hate.. That's what's hard.

My first experience with alcohol was Baileys when I was about 8, loved it Next was brandy at 12, liked it. Hated beer first several times and wine but cider I really liked

Excellent conversation. Listened to the whole thing on a road trip. Love the Allen Carr approach. Thanks

It was so worth staying until the end 🎉you are awesome! You should have a Spotify channel of your music ❤❤❤

Is this the complete book here ?

I had a really good time last funeral I went to. Lots of laughs shared. I drink by myself and like it...

Dang, didn't relate at all. Glad I didn't spend any money on the book.

I'm an alcoholic, but I truly think my perspective is such an outlier that it cannot be, "cured". I'm 37 and have been drinking insanely since 17. I've lost jobs, girlfriends, my freedom, my sanity, been through life threatening alcohol withdrawal FAR too many times, you name it... Been to hospital, detoxes, countless times sweating it out for weeks at home (thank you American health care for ZERO help and full fear) and nothing has worked. My reason? In a sentence, "I simply have never seen a future worth fighting for." After a lifetime of terrible situations, horrible lifelong depression, massive insomnia, uncontrollable anxiety and overall due to financial situations a ridiculous amount of time it took me to finally live on my own... I developed an utter passion for running to booze. And never ever a, "ah a few beers with the boys to get away from it all". No. Hard locked down in my cold room, near a computer, away from everyone full on hard liquor to massive blackouts every single time. I would assume by this point in my life I have been intoxicated to some degree just as many hours as I have been sober for my entire life... I love It, I love the whole ritual of going to the liquor store, looking at the glass bottles, selecting my poison, coming home, freezing the booze, taking ice cold shots in front of my computer and just vegging out until oblivion. Rinse and repeat. I am sadomasochistic as well, I know this about myself. The sadist part is extremely obvious if you know me, but the masochism is by far in WATCHING myself deteriorate... When going through serious, like, reality shaking --- shakes --- and throwing up acid I get this sick kick about KNOWING my body is dying, that I am finite and my ego has never existed. I feel like I've "won" life because I know that these fucking stupid mind games of, "be a better person, be the best you" is all bullshit and literally 100% of the time someone says that to you it's either stupid platitudes or they are completely trying to sell you something they can profit from. I absolutely will never stop drinking. Today I can go long bouts of being sober (well, for me it's only about a month at a time) but then I relapse HARD as if it's medicine. Grab two liners of scotch, lock myself into my apartment and rinse my organs clean with booze, go through withdrawal and then go back to a soulless existence. This behaviour is reflected in my day to day life as well. I am single by choice (I see no value in having a partner), I have no kids (snipped at 25 I absolutely hate all children and anything to do with them), I have next to zero social life (never liked it) and spend a herculean amount of my time alone because it makes me feel better to be away from people. The thing these books and "programs" do not understand is that there ARE people out there who simply just do not fancy living, but we're also scared of pulling the trigger to shoot ourselves because of our hardwired biology. So we just end our lives a little at a time and have SOME fun doing it before an infinity of oblivion.

Does anyone have the link for the full audio book it use to be on here but I can’t find it

I drink beer every night, and I hate it. Just ordered this book. Thank you!

This is wonderful ❤ thank you ! Excellent points .

Send me a book please

Why is a guy talking about this book who has never been a father? Talk about Mansplaining.

This was very helpful ❤

Great notes, thanks for sharing. Much better than those awful AI generated summaries you can find on other channels.

Great stuff guys. Thanks for the synopsis. Great outtro song!

What makes a person an alcoholic? I'm asking because I have heard different reasons.

Allen Carr describes alcoholism (being an alcoholic) is someone who has lost control of their alcohol consumption and was actually never in control. I don’t debate that but the criticism here of AA is incorrect. AA says that an alcoholic is a person who cannot drink in moderation and should therefore abstain. It does not say that it is a genetic problem. It says it is caused by heavy drinking, and that a person cannot go back to casual drinking. Read the AA book. Recovery means no longer being addicted, not being an able to drink in moderation. Both methods recommend sobriety and both present methods of becoming sober. I am not addicted and have never been addicted to alcohol. So why do some people lose control and others don’t?

Is this the whole book?

Thank you so much for being Cliff Notes for me. Lovely!

Have not read this book but read the stop smoking one and it stopped me ever wanting to smoke but it took me FOUR READ THROUGHS for it to click so please dont just read it once and think its a waste of money and time re read and re read it will click eventually.

I'm a bit sceptical of this book because of all the bad analogies and untrue things in it, particularly where it's saying something about me which isn't true or which I haven't experienced. Is it actually gonna make a difference?

Thanks for this presentation. 👍❤️

Selfishness is the fundamental component of survival that's what Origin of the species was all about

"my name is Matt and I'm an alcoholic" I've said that so many times

1. strong visual image to go with the word/name. Strong visual image to go with your created funny story. Joshing into 4 pieces. Also try to visualise or remember or imagine the tastes, smells, sounds evoked from this image. Baker. This is actually stronger than just remembering a name. 2. Chunking. Like big numbers into smaller sets. 7 chunks max. 3. Memory palace. Visual memory of something u familiar with and placing the stuff there. Like path from front door to bedroom eg. tv room dining room kitchen washing machine bathroom bedroom eg. 4. Try to make something memorable, And sexual is memorable. 5. Number system. Numbers can become letters. Numbers can also represent similar looking objects. 5. PAO. person action object. every number from 0 to 100 all get stories PAO style.

Being an alcoholic is not a disease.

comedy really is the best medicine!

So pleased to see so many people having success, long term. I haven't had anything for 8 days now after finishing the book. Doesn't sound like much, but I honestly feel different this time. I'm really really done!!!!!!!

Blokes yuno 😂😂😂

This was a nice discovery. I am going to try it although that rule number 1....

So informative and well put, thank you .

Nicely analyzed, gents!

Dude, totally nailed it! Big thanks, guys! Been vibing to your podcast for years, then had this gnarly hiatus when I unfollowed all my KZfaq channels. I've been on the hunt for like two years, and out of the blue tonight, it hit me full force. Typed in "what you will learn podcast," and bam! There you are. Killer episode. Much love for the hard work. Truly masterful, dudes.

I just discovered your podcast im so sad it ended so underrated 😢

"We have thousands of atoms but not enough then to make an atom" 😂😂😂..! That's what one of these clowns said. When the other genuinly doesn't know the difference between a Eagle and a crow! Give this analysis a miss people, the books way, way ahead of their intellect to comment on it!

Is this the full audio book ?

I see he has a few books on Alcohol, which one should i get first.

Best podcast I've listened to.

Thanks, I just had a session with my coach and she recommended this book so listening

Блестящий тезис: «Проигравшие в век информации - это те, кто больше всего зависит от государственной помощи». В течении множества веков власть имущие создавали общество дисциплины, страха и подчинения. Они приватизировали богатства и контролируют наши деньги, указывая, сколько ты можешь тратить и что не можешь купить. НО теперь начинается новая эра, где мы можем вернуть свободы и достоинство, которые так рьяно пытаются у нас отнять. Мы не должны проиграть эту войну ради себя и наших детей. Очнись! Самый глупый заяц тот, который считает что если хорошо себя вести, то волки не посмеют его съесть.

Problem is i drink because it makes me happy. And because i dont mix drinks i dont get hangovers.

Funny how crazy things get
