Her site is definitely worth a visit for a whole number of reasons.<br><br>It was also great to read another great story from someone who recently quit drinking with the method, <em>Jennifer Rodger<\/em>, who read Allen Carr\u2019s Easy Way For Women To Quit Drinking.<br><br>Jennifer wrote \u201cI read the book and have followed it to the letter. I would never have believed I would feel so calm and am truly excited to simply believe in myself again. I am a non-drinker after ten years of believing otherwise.\u201d<br><br><a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allen Carr<\/a>\u2019s approach to getting free from alcohol focuses on the reasons we drink rather than the reasons we shouldn\u2019t. For that reason, once you\u2019ve taken the method on board, you feel a sense of freedom and release when you quit drinking, rather than any sense of loss.<br><br>The method is available as a physical book, e-book, or audiobook and there are live seminars as well as the online on-demand program. This ensures that the method is ultimately accessible to as many people as possible \u2013 regardless of their financial circumstances. A keystone of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway organisation\u2019s operating procedure is to ensure that as many people as possible can access the method regardless of location or wealth.<br><br>We also promise no scare tactics.<br><br>We simply don&#8217;t use any scare tactics or shocking images of the harm that drinking does. You know all about that already. Instead we examine and correct the misconceptions that keep all drinkers trapped. We don\u2019t just look at the physical addiction but the mental aspect as well. You may be surprised that the addiction is 1% physical and 99% mental. This is the most important aspect of stopping drinking with Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway \u2013 as long as we \u2018get your head right\u2019 the physical aspects of the addiction are actually incredibly mild.<br><br>Drinkers believe that they get some sort of genuine pleasure or benefit from drinking &#8211; that it helps them enjoy life, handle stress, relax and socialise. For this reason, they fear that even if they do succeed in stopping they will be miserable and feel deprived for the rest of their lives. These are the fears that keep drinkers hooked and Allen Carr\u2019s method simply blows them all away!<br><br><a class=\"button red hvr\" title=\"Read more about 'How to Stop Drinking'\"
