Alcohol Explained, by William Porter

[edit]

I propose the Alcohol Explained book for the list. It meets suitability: the book is a memoir as well as a self-help book. It meets notability: it is the #1 best seller in the Neurology category on Amazon UK, May 2023.

Alcohol Lied To Me, by Craig Beck

[edit]

I propose the Alcohol Lied To Me book for the list. It meets suitability: the book is a memoir as well as a self-help book. It meets notability: it is on this independent charity's top 20 list:

Top 20 alcohol addiction books

ISBN: TBD

It seems a similar philosophy to Annie Grace's technique.

Amazon description:

"Craig Beck is a well-regarded family man with two children, a beautiful home, and a successful media career. A director of several companies & at one time the trustee of a large children’s charity. Craig was a successful & functioning professional man in spite of a ‘2 bottles of wine a night’ drinking habit. For 20 years he struggled with problem drinking, all the time refusing to label himself an alcoholic because he didn't believe he met the stereotypical image that the word portrayed.He tried countless ways to cut down; attempting ‘dry months,’ banning himself from drinking spirits, only drinking at the weekend & special occasions (and found that it is amazing how even the smallest of an event can suddenly become ‘special’). All these 'willpower' based attempts to stop drinking failed (exactly as they were destined to do). Slowly he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction & one by one all the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time, he noticed that he genuinely didn’t want to drink anymore. In this book, he will lead you through the same fantastic process.The Craig Beck quit drinking method is unique: No need to declare yourself an alcoholic. A permanent cure, not a lifetime struggle. No group meetings or expensive rehab.No humiliation, no pain and 100% no ‘willpower’ required. Treats the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. What people are saying about ‘Alcohol Lied To Me’:“I was so excited to find your method. I had never seen anything quite like it so of course I enthusiastically purchased it. I have to say I was blown away by the unique frankness. It REALLY hits home in a very good way. It's as if a very caring, non-judgemental friend can see right through me in a way that can only be known by someone who's been through it all. I am incredibly grateful to have found your book and your logical genius.Thanks from DP (Arizona, U.S.A) www.StopDrinkingExpert.com"
