After reading all the great reviews and realizing I had a problem I needed to control, I was hoping this would be the answer. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I have read this book cover to cover and to me, all it centers around is willpower, which I lack or else I wouldn't have bought this book. We all know the cost and health issues of alcohol, no surprise here. We all know that alcohol does not solve our problems but only numbs them, has no real benefits, etc. I didn't need this book to know that. I'm glad that it helped so many others here, but fell very short for me.
