Highly recommended
Really enjoyed this book. I've been reading nutrition books since I was in my early 20s and like how this book combines nutrition with advice on staying the positive path. In fact, I've never really seen a book like this designed to help people with a sober lifestyle choice which addresses the nutritional aspect. Having just turned 50 her mission statement really rang true where she said she wanted, "To live my fifties in an extraordinary way..."I shall be trying the recipes and smoothies to support my heath. I shall also be recommending this book to friends who have talked about reducing their alcohol intake but found the depression and withdraw too difficult after a few days and never make it to the two week full detoxification where they would start to feel better. No doubt the support advice and nutrition would help them.

Useful and practical.
This book offers a valuable guide for anyone who has made the decision to give up drinking alcohol and wishes to build a solid foundation for their sobriety at what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Packed with useful tips, references and resources, the information is concise and readily accessible and encourages the establishment of healthy habits to replace the gap left by alcohol. A valuable part of your sober toolkit.

Good read - confusing title
This was a good practical guide with effective tasks to help someone afflicted with addiction. It was very clear and concise with its actionable steps one through ten style. The author really focuses on enhancing your healthy living in a more curt, no-nonsense approach and the testimonials of well know people who also suffered the affliction was very inspiring. But the title and sub title for the book are misleading and I wasn't surewhether 'craving busting' was related to some other topic or the topic of alcohol. Good content though and my favourite in this author's series.

This is an inspiring read for anyone who is giving up alcohol. A good mix of helpful information and personal experience of the process of giving up and the bigger picture in relation to nutrition. Plenty of useful tips to keep you on the right track. Would definitely recommend it!

if you're looking for good ideas to support your progress
I'm always suspicious of 'simple' ways to escape alcohol dependence but, if you're looking for good ideas to support your progress, you may find one or two here.

Waste of money
Poorly written, repetitive and vague. I derived very little benefit. For proper nutritional guidelines for recovery from ALL addictions (alcohol, smoking, drugs, sugar,...

At last - practical advice for people wanting to change their drinking habits
I loved this book from the moment I started reading it. I just wanted to ditch the mid week, sink a bottle of wine and feel pants the next day habit I had recently got into.
