Looking for Secular Books on Alcoholism

Would love to hear your recommendations for self-help books to stop drinking which don't involve religion or God. Thanks!

Sober For Good. How to quit drinking without AA. Staying Clean and Sober. Changing for Good (has to do more with changing than alcoholism per se)

I found 'Sober For Good' really helpful, I didn't know about 'Changing For Good', thanks!

All of the above mentioned books are excellent. I particularly like Sober For Good.

Also, I love the SMART Recovery handbook:
