What does he do specifically? It’s very unclear just from reading the Amazon description. Or is it like an entire program. I’m skeptical: I have never heard of this anywhere else, so it seems like one of those $100-bill-on-the-subway-floor type things.
I’m actually not quite sure. It’s not a whole program; you just read the book, and (if you’re anything like me) you’re sober, just like that. I’m not a ‘recovering alcoholic’ the way I see some people writing who have been sober for even longer than I have; I’m done with alcohol, for good, and I knew it right away. He basically talks about the negatives of drinking and the positives of sobriety, with stories and examples, in a way that just ‘clicked’ for me.
Reading https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Control-Alcohol-ebook/dp/B07B7QRWTH enabled me to quit drinking alcohol very easily. It was almost like it just turned off my desire to drink for good. ~3.5 years alcohol-free now.

nope, they are two different problems with two different books recommended
