Hi, gingerhero. I am a fan of Easy Way, it was one of the first books I read about alcohol and it helped me put the abstainer's spin on the idea of ever drinking again. I recommend it.
Someone showed me how to search a website for a topic using google - it is easy and really helpful to get a very quick answer to some types of questions. In the search box, type site:soberrecovery.com carr, to find the mentions of 'carr' on SR. It will get you started on an answer to your question.
I suggest you read it, it's easy to find, and add your opinion.
