Quit Drinking Without Willpower is a book using Easyway to help people eliminate the desire to drink alcohol. His approach isn't unlike some types of CBT. It is a method of destroying the basis for "I want" so that all that remains is a sober view of the object of the addiction and "I shouldn't" wins by default. In contrast to willpower techniques (various types of forced abstention techniques), which logically and inevitably entail an internal, psychological conflict between "I want" and "I shouldn't," Easyway doesn't involve any conflict at all. When what was once seen as fun and pleasure is now seen as dangerous and toxic, avoiding the behavior is effortless. As one learns more about their addiction, their internal cost-benefit equation regarding it changes. This approach works by changing one's desire, not by changing one's behavior toward the desire. The method is simple: realize the ugly truth about the nature of your problem and deliberately undo your conditioning toward it. Developed in his first book, Easy Way to Stop Smoking, Carr's approach helps people quit their addictions by getting them to challenge their assumptions of benefit. As opposed to most other methods, Carr's program works without the use of willpower (hence, Easyway).

I am currently, maybe 4/5ths, through, Tania Glyde's Cleaning Up - and that is so much better. In the end the message seem to be that to give up alcohol you must read the book, not feel guilty and stop drinking. I tried to find the coherent argument as I was reading but couldn't connect. Quite a few times Allen Carr says you don't need willpower to give up alcohol - but never defines willpower, in which case how can he be wrong? But if willpower means a day by day determination how can he be right? And so preachy a style everyone it seems is wrong except the author. It has shouting words and phrases in capital letters which made me feel he was bonking me on the head with a mallet. The book is very repetitious and rambling.
