I didn't quit drinking when I started it, but I followed the instructions and I never listened while I was drinking. I listened to the book in the car, washing dishes, etc. And if I ever started drinking and couldn't reach that goal for some reason, I was mad. I never drank to enjoy a beverage to complement a meal or any hoity toity nonsense like that: I drank to get drunk. I only breaks I took from drinking for the past 10 years where when I had to deploy or when I was too sick for the hair of the dog. I'd finish off a 30 pack on Saturday and Sunday as long as I woke up in time to drink through the morning.

I would drink a six pack a night, about once or twice every month (this was meant for nights when I was exercising "control" because there was something important happening the next day): every other day of that month, I drank at least ten beers plus shots of whatever I had in the freezer. My wife said I needed to do something-and after countless times of shooting back a, "yeah, sure, I'll get on that." I finally realized that I might lose her if I didn't. I'm a sailor, and I developed a very heavy drinking habit, and was able to maintain it without many repercussions at work, because a lot of my bosses have heavy drinking problems. I would have gone to listen to the stories (like the narrator character in Fight Club), but not to experience change. I had been to AA meetings and being an atheist, I immediately locked up. In the comments I read, I was encouraged by the heavy drinkers to pick up this book, because I didn't believe it could work. If you think you might have a problem, which you clearly do if you're reading this review, then listen to this book! It seemed impossible to me to, but you will see what I mean. And literally, within a week, my beaten down self-esteem has bounced back (finally!) and I feel confident I have the ability to now shape the life I want. I'm currently in the process re-planning my life activities, because now my life revolves around events I want to be involved in for their own sake, rather than for the booze I plan to drink. It removes the monkey from your back and gives you freedom. Now I don't want to drink at all, and can see myself lasting until I die without wanting another drink.

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.
