kathrynmas 's review for:
At the beginning of the book, Grace makes the huge claim that this book will transform your mind and kill your appetite for alcohol. I rolled my eyes at this and thought this woman has no idea how much I love sparkling wine. While I do still think that was a wee bit presumptuous, there is some truth to that statement. When I finished the book, I was 18 days dry, feeling great, and my desire to drink had significantly decreased.
Grace talks about alcohol in a new way. She stops defending it and calls it what it is - an addictive poison. She exposes the lies we’ve been conditioned to believe (thank you, advertising industry) - we need alcohol to relax, to have fun, to be at ease in social situations, etc.
Two-thirds through the book, Grace changes her tune from I’m not telling you to never drink again to gotcha! don’t ever drink again.
I was expecting the book would be more science and research-based and less anecdotal but I still gained a lot from it. If you are struggling with controlling your alcohol intake, I would recommend giving this book a read.
