Has anybody read this book?
 
It's called "The Thirty Day Sobriety Solution" but dont let the 30 day part throw you. You can work the program on a 30-60 or 90 day timetable. I going for the 90 Day's with 100% total abstinence.

There is an a website that adds more to the program than just the book can and participants are tasked with daily action steps to help keep your mind focused.

I like it and plan to continue with it.

On day 4 now. My first quit again in...I cant remember when.

If you have heard it or read it, would like to hear from you and your thoughts

I googled the title. It's a book on how to "quit or cut back your drinking" in the privacy of your own home. There are two authors.

Good to know. It was a book that kickstarted my sobriety too (This Naked Mind), and the online community here is also quite awesome :D

I did read it, and it began my journey in April of 2016. It did in a way, give permission to drink again, as I recall, saying that some people could return to moderate drinking. Which of course I tried! (And failed!). 6 Months later, I read This Naked Mind and I've been sober ever since. So, I'd say that the 30 day solution gives you a good taste of some of the benefits you'll see in sobriety, but doesn't hammer home that complete abstinence is best. Be well!

I thought it was a good book. I have the audiobook. It makes you think, that’s for sure.

Sorry I posted in the wrong place.

Another vote for this naked mind. Annie really nails it with alcoholism down to its core, and gives real, honest logic on drinking and how to beat it.
