So... you want to cut back your drinking? So did I. I didn't think I was an alcoholic, but I knew I wanted to drink less. I took some simple, practical steps and changed my life. This book is what I wish I'd known when I started. Maybe you're in a rut. I've been there. But you can learn to break your habit and live a healthier life. Research backs up what your common sense tells you - you are not alone. You can regain control. You have a good chance of successful change. These 5 tips turned my drinking habits around. There's no condemnation, no rock bottom, and no one-size-fits-all approach. Compassion, research and action ideas combine to make a plan you can use right away. These straight-forward tips will help you, or someone you know, take control of drinking.
Simple and to the point. Not preachy. Helpful and practical tips. It made sense for me and had a lot of valuable insights. I liked the research links and Jonathan helps you figure out where to start - by measuring your intake and reducing your risks. Then he lists tools to cut back and slow down. Last is an attitude shift to re-think why, how and when you drink and make the final changes that will really stick. There aren't enough books on moderation for alcohol. This fills the need for this approach.
Short and sweet, this was a well-written and insightful guide. The focus was on me, my feelings, my habits, and what I really wanted to do with my life. This made so much more sense than just 'alcohol is evil.' It's not, I just had a problem dealing with my life and I abused alcohol to get by. I'm done that now and not going back. This little book was great at laying out the steps I needed. I wish it was in hardcopy, it's only an e-book.
