Again - I have many tools at my disposal but I don't tend to pick them up when needed. Maybe they aren't the right ones?
Don't know if you meant to write "Stop Smoking Now" for the Allen Carr book, but while I think the overall method and concept is the same, his book on drinking targets the specific arguments we've all heard, read or used countless times to justify our drinking. All the supposed benefits of alcohol, and why they're all lies. I found it very, very convincing and I like to think I'm pretty good at picking holes in arguments. Worth checking that one out.
