But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but.

Story
I'm the binge-drinking health reporter. During the week, I write about Australia's booze-soaked culture. At the weekends, I write myself off. Born and raised in Scotland, the home of whisky, Jill Stark had booze in the blood. Alcohol had dominated her social life ever since she had her first sip of lager, at 13. She thought nothing could curb her love of big nights. Then came the hangover that changed everything. In the shadow of her 35th year, Jill made a decision: she would give up alcohol.

Story
Say you want to start going to the gym or practicing a musical instrument. How long should it take before you stop having to force it and start doing it automatically? The surprising answers are found in Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a leading psychologist’s popular examination of one of the most powerful and underappreciated processes in the brain. Although people like to think that they are in control, the vast majority of human behavior occurs without any decision-making or conscious thought.

Story
If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again, there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to freedom and healing. And the little profanity 'F**k It' is the key to that door.

This book is a MUST read/listen
Where does How to Stop Drinking Alcohol rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
By far the very best!!!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kevin is my favorite character, after all he wrote the book and its partly about his life and what he had to go through and explains clearly how others can stop drinking alcohol too.
What does Kevin O'Hara bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I am used to listen to Kevin's podcasts and watch his videos on alcoholmasterydotcom so I cant really compare with the printed edition, never read it either.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
I love the illustrations Kevn uses throughout this book, and especially the one about the immigration officers inside our bodies, I cant really explain it here, but there are so many excellent points throughout the book. You just gotta read it. :o)
Any additional comments?
Incredible book. If you even suspect your drinking needs to be controlled, you must get this book. An amazing work worth its weight in gold. I am also very impressed with the easy way method described in this book. Thanks Kevin

Kevin, thank you so much!
this book was good! I've been waiting for this for a while. believe it or not, this book really helped me to stay focus, and staying away from alcohol. i can walk pass booze, and not get tempted to buy any, and when i see others rushing back and forth to the liquor store, i just shake my head and said: damn, i was just like them! Ive been searching for years trying to beat this addiction, but all ive been getting was: the same bullshit you called out on those scam websites! I also want to thank you for bringing out the truth from the lies and other bullshit scams that's out there! after this, i will read the other book you've made, and keep making those youtube videos!
and again thank you kevin.
