Normally inhibited people don’t become more interesting when they are inebriated; on the contrary they become overemotional, repetitive, incoherent, and boring. It wouldn’t be so bad if the inhibited person felt better for it, but they don’t; they are in a stupor and you cannot appreciate a situation unless you have your senses to appreciate it with. - I disagree with that I'm afraid. I have a close acquaintance in fact, with whom we used to get along with just fine, until she gave up drinking completely after her pregnancy 8 years ago. Well, suffice it to say, both me and my husband, as well as her bridesmaid, happen to agree that she was much more interesting before she stopped drinking, as she's lost all her fun and became very uptight and boring since then. With caffeine it started with 1 35p energy drink a day from about age 15-16 then 2 35p energy drinks a day then 1 69p energy drink (500ml) then a 69p and a 35p then 2 monsters then 2 monsters and some coffee later. I wouldn’t even engage with anyone until I’d had my two monsters which I’d down one after the other. I wanted to say thank you as I have been now one year completely booze free after many years of alcohol fuelled misery. You can continue to enjoy your trips to the pub, go out, deal with stress and boredom, and even feel more relaxed without suffering from unpleasant withdrawal symptoms or gaining weight without longing for alcohol or envying other drinkers. Carr offers a startling new view of why we drink and how we can escape the addiction. Step by step, with devastating clarity and simplicity, he applies the Easyway™ method, dispelling all the illusions that surround the subject of drinking and that can make it almost impossible to imagine a life without alcohol. Only when we step away from all these supposed pleasures and understand how we are being duped to believe we are receiving real benefits can we begin to live our lives free from any desire or need for drinking.The Easyway™ method centers on removing the psychological need to drink—while the drinker is still drinking. Following the Easyway™:• You will not need willpower• You will not feel deprived• You will lose your fear of withdrawal pangs• You will enjoy social occasions more• You will be better equipped to handle stress

Keogan, S.; Li, S.; Clancy, L. (2019). "Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking – A randomised clinical trial". Tobacco Control. Alan Carr. 28 (4): 414–419. doi: 10.1136/tobaccocontrol-2018-054243. PMC 6589447. PMID 30361322.It is almost too easy. The late Allen Carr was a master of using logic to help smokers, overeaters, and drinkers look objectively at their vices and see a clear, simple way out. Drinkers go into withdrawal whenever they finish a drink. It is an illusion that there is physical withdrawal pain from the drug itself. We are never badly addicted to the chemical itself. In incredibly rare cases some individuals may have the following symptoms occur but see the note below about DTs: Our online video programs allow you to stop when you want and where you want. It is not a seminar, neither is it a recording of one, but a standalone program in its own right. Unlike our center seminars you will not be able to speak directly with an Allen Carr’s Easyway facilitator.

If however they attempt to give up forever using willpower they can get into a terrible state in a matter of hours. After attending the one day course in 2020 my life has improved beyond all expectations. Coming to the session initially I didn’t think the method would truly work but it has and I couldn’t be happier and more relieved.Beyond the value of Easyway as a whole (which deserves 5 stars) and its application to alcohol addiction, I found Quit Drinking to be a little too dogmatic. Carr's assertions that the only benefit from alcohol is that it satisfies a prior craving for alcohol (created by the unease of detoxing the previous drink), that any benefit to alcohol is merely perceived and not real (because the terrifying prospect of chemical addiction forces one to rationalize their enjoyment of alcohol), and that all of alcohol's "virtues" are false is too strong a claim to make. Alcohol has many terrible effects, but it does have a few true non-circular benefits. For example, alcohol is known to temporarily reduce self-consciousness and social anxiety. Carr himself admits alcohol is useful as an antiseptic and anesthetic. These facts undermine Carr's message in Quit Drinking - which sometimes can take an aggressive tone - but not the Easyway method. I am not sure I will become a lifelong nondrinker, but reading Quit Drinking destroyed almost all of alcohol's appeal to me.
