A bright orange and blue cover with the words \u201cThe Easy Way for Women to Quit Drinking\u201d screamed out from the rack, and I had to have it. My dearest friend and parenting partner in crime would get a kick out of it over our next bottle of Merlot.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>She did think the book was funny. And so did I, inspiring me to flip through it one night as it sat on my kitchen island, destined for the donation shop.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It never made it there. I read the book cover to cover, and didn\u2019t touch another drop of wine, or alcohol of any kind again. That was three months ago.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer goes on to write how she applied the same principles contained in the alcohol book to her coffee consumption \u2013 finding it helped her quit that easily too. Of course, this was before we\u2019d formally applied the method to the issue of caffeine addiction (in e-book and\u00a0<a href=\"\/easyway-quit-caffeine\/easyway-quit-caffeine-on-demand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video-on-demand program<\/a>\u00a0formats).<\/p>\n<p>She explains perfectly the principles that make\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/the-allen-carr-easyway-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allen Carr\u2019s method<\/a>\u00a0so easy (and effective) to apply\u00a0<em>\u201cRather than encourage the use of logic, reason, and willpower he removes the desire to smoke, drink, and worry. Do that, remove desire from the desire \u2015 determination equation, and the problem \u2013 any problem \u2013 collapses.\u00a0<\/em><em>And that\u2019s what happened. I read the book and lost all interest in drinking wine, something I\u2019d enjoyed for years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In her personal account of how (and why) she cut out alcohol and caffeine she writes frankly of the profound impact quitting had on her energy levels. Explaining that after having their first child her and her husband experienced the normal stresses, strains, and fatigue associated with the challenges of parenthood Jennifer writes how after reducing TV time, taking more exercise, eating more healthily, and eradicating use of tech at\/around bedtime \u2013 there still seemed room for further improvements. Although all the above helped \u2013 nothing helped as much as quitting alcohol and caffeine.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about our\u00a0<a
