Excellent book and narrator!

This book provides a no-nonsence information packet to please even the most finicky of listeners or readers. It's so nice to listen to a book that provides information, in an interesting format, that is not emotive or biased. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is sober-curious to just gather some more information in a search to be the best version of you that you can be.

Best book for reducing/ceasing alcohol consumption.

This is honestly the best book I have ever listen to in regards to alcohol.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who want to reduce their alcohol consumption, or are thinking about ceasing at entirely. No matter if you are a binge drinker, daily drinker, or just want to learn more about alcohols affect on your body, this is the book to listen to. William is so engaging to listen to, and I am so excited to find out there’s a second book.
This book helped me in so many ways. It’s giving me a better chance at life, I was a binge drinker for many years, only drinking at events or parties.
However I would drink to excess, this book really help me cut back my alcohol consumption.
Eventually I made the decision to cease alcohol consumption entirely.
Best thing I’ve ever done, if you were to tell me I’d be making this decision for sobriety before I read this book I would’ve laughed at you.
But it’s amazing how much this is change my perspective.

A lifesaver

Thankyou Mr Porter. All those unanswered questions have been answered. Why do it do it? Why do I feel this way?! This book gives a broken down guide to why we drink, and the effects on our mind and body. It all makes sense. Having this knowledge, and the tools to help me cope with my addiction are incredible. For anyone struggling with alcoholism or problem drinking, or thinking about stopping drinking, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It’s been a lifesaver.

Not many self help books help

I was immediately drawn in by the author/narrator's style and content. He takes you down a very concise, detailed path which helps you understand alcohol and its related challenges from many angles. At times I wanted to skip ahead, but William does such a great job of layering important info that you feel compelled to learn all of it. I have no idea if this will help me give up but I suspect it will!

I would also recommend this book for loved ones of alcoholics. It truly paints a very full picture of what a alcoholic faces with each drink and why.

There is no blame, no magic bullet, just great logical and detailed reasoning.

Fantastic. On my third listen to this audiobook.

THE BEST book on understanding alcohol and why we drink. I play a chapter or three of this whenever I get an urge to drink. It’s direct and to the point style helped me break the habit of a daily drink thru lockdowns. Great overviews, then gets specific and more detailed in following chapters. Great narration too.

Helpful and easy to understand

I liked the logical explanation about the contributing factors regarding why I drink alcohol, the effects of alcohol on mental, emotional and physical health, why it is useless to try to moderate drinking habits and, above all, how to journal my feelings when consuming alcohol. This is an important element to the path of an alcohol free life. I enjoyed gaining this knowledge and appreciate the vast amount effort the author has undertaken to present the knowledge in his book.
