I have the book. I like it.
Well, I should qualify that. Trimpey does a lot of AA-bashing in the book. Blatant, in-your-face, bashing. If you can get past that (or if it doesn't phase you), then I think you will LOVE the book. I can't tell you how relieved I felt when I read my copy. It all just made such perfect sense!! It gave me clarity and hope.
Want to quit drinking? Great. Quit. Now get on with your life and quit yer bitchin.
LOL! That was basically it. And I was like... really? That's it? So simple and yet so freaking profound to my pickled mind!
Let me know what you think once you read it.
p.s. And yeah, he's an NOT an advocate of "just don't drink today". When he explains why it really makes sense, and I finally came to grips with it myself. Why fight with myself on a daily basis? Why have to make the choice not to drink every day for the rest of my life? All I have to do is acknowledge that I can not drink anymore and I win. No more arguing with that Addict Voice. There are no more choices to make - I simply will not drink anymore. It was a huge relief when that finally "clicked" in my head.
