"The easy way to control alcohol" by Allen Carr is another book I found from reading another forum that had a topic about sobriety. It had good reviews from some and awful from others, like most discussions on any topic. The trend was those that liked the book were in the anti-AA camp. I am awful about not finishing books so I only made it three chapters and haven't revisted it. It was pretty good reading but the guy is very longwinded, so if that bothers you, it may not be a good read.
