How To Quit Without Feeling S**T

The fast, highly effective way to end addiction to caffeine, sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs

By: Patrick Holford BSc DipION FBANT, James Braly, David Miller

Narrated by: Patrick Holford BSc DipION FBANT

This groundbreaking book from the UK's leading spokesman on nutrition looks at why millions of people have cravings for substances such as coffee, sugar and alcohol, as well to drugs such as sleeping pills, antidepressants, marijuana and cocaine. It uncovers how the brain becomes addicted and how it can be 'unaddicted' through a combination of diet, supplements and lifestyle factors. The book is written in association with Dr David Miller, who has worked in the addiction field for 25 years and is an expert in relapse prevention. It looks at each of the most common substances that people become addicted to and offers specific advice on how to tackle that particular substance safely and effectively yourself. In-depth yet practical and accessible, HOW TO QUIT WITHOUT FEELING S**T, will allow you to understand why you feel the way you do, whether you have a depndency or have already given up but still feel lousy. The book provides a 12-week action plan for becoming addiction free - without suffering the deeply unpleasant symptoms of withdrawal that most addicts believe they must go through.©2008 David Miller

It works!

A very well written book. Dr. Holford does a great job explaining his theory. His narrative and voice are both precise and soothing to the ear. I have taken his recommended supplements and they have made a world of a difference. Well done Patrick Holford!

Not bad listening

I really love the concept of this book and believe it would be very effective.
However, it missed certain things and directed you to a website that didn't deliver.
It also does not have any support centres in Australia....
I would be interested to see future developments implemented down under as it is desperately needed here as much as anywhere in the world.

I also loved the authors clear voice....

Referenced documents are not found

My biggest complaint is the references made several times to his web page that is not working. The URL is for downloading documents needed to work through the process discussed in the book but the page is not available. They should at least post a redirect saying why it has been removed and where the documents may be found. You can however join their Health Club for a membership fee.

I am intrigued with the concept offered but can find no collaborating evidence to back the claims and no specific published research is provided [perhaps it is available on the missing link].

You are better off buying the book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No - The author makes some interesting points,but even he suggests you buy a hard copy of the book. There are just too many indexes and prescriptions and charts to make this a good audiobook.
