This was a 'used' copy but in good condition. I was more than happy with the physical look of this second hand book. It was packaged well and arrived on time. In terms of content, I have yet to finish the book but from what I've read so far I've found it inspirational, compelling, positive and a fantastic approach to the subject. I've read quite a lot of books around this matter and this one stands out amongst the best. I was tired and weary of reading books about excessive behaviour and addiction, that were downbeat, depressing and preachy. I applaud the author and would recommend it to anyone who indeed, would like to see and hear the sunshine of sobriety.

This is a good book, written from direct experience. It gives good techniques to deal with situations and provides vital understanding for a supporting family. It's a very open an honest account of a difficult addiction and how to begin to overcome it. Thanks.

This is an excellent self help book for those who are considering the increasing trend to be alcohol free. Like all the best self help books, it is written with the passion of someone who has been there, but as well backed up with current thinking. The author, a journo who has (amongst other things in her glittering career) written for "Cosmo" and "Glamour" magazine, and thiis shows in her style of writing. It is interesting how she has identified our culture as one where. non drinkers are considered "boring". Well worth a read, and definately of interest to clinicians.

Wow! Now I love(d) drinking, but my mind completely shifted while reading this book. Maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe it was time, maybe I bought the book as subconsciously I wanted to stop, but my oh my, while reading the book, without even thinking about it, I cut down, and just before the end of the book I stopped drinking completely, none of this was intentional or planned. Honestly, it’s so weird, and I haven’t even thought about having a drink since finishing the book. Love it!!!
