That's a very interesting insight, John. A similar dramatic shift in mindset is what made it suddenly so easy to quit smoking a few years back after nearly a decade of painful failed attempts. For me, it wasn't a moral issue and it was the direct result of reading Alan Carr's The Easy Way, but the shift in mindset is what did it. It was sudden and absolute.
Until I read your post, I hadn't considered thinking about quitting drinking the same way. Thank you so much for stepping outside your norm and posting about your experience.
