I continue to believe, as most of us do, whatever works, use it. I couldn't care less if "experts" debunk a particular method of halting alcohol addiction. Popular consensus does not trump individual success. I have begun to read this book and occasionally find premises a bit difficult to accept. But rather than jump to a conclusion, I plan to finish the book, reflect on the content, then make my decision to the value in my quest for sobriety. If it merits my approval, fine. If it doesn't, that's fine as well. It is not an overall judgment on the validity of the book, for I can only qualify what rings true to me.
