I would have gone to listen to the stories (like the narrator character in Fight Club), but not to experience change. I had been to AA meetings and being an atheist, I immediately locked up. In the comments I read, I was encouraged by the heavy drinkers to pick up this book, because I didn't believe it could work. If you think you might have a problem, which you clearly do if you're reading this review, then listen to this book! It seemed impossible to me to, but you will see what I mean. And literally, within a week, my beaten down self-esteem has bounced back (finally!) and I feel confident I have the ability to now shape the life I want. I'm currently in the process re-planning my life activities, because now my life revolves around events I want to be involved in for their own sake, rather than for the booze I plan to drink. It removes the monkey from your back and gives you freedom. Now I don't want to drink at all, and can see myself lasting until I die without wanting another drink. I've often wanted to cut down and didn't understand how stopping altogether could be possible. I've drunk to the detriment of my life for the last 20 years.
