“A step-by-step recovery book with checklists, worksheets,
and exercises to meet social, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual needs.
Dorsman guides readers through stages to discover how much they need alcohol,
whether they want to quit drinking, and the best way to do so.”
-Mike Snider
USA Today
“Dorsman, whose self-help book includes worksheets and
checklists, often uses a cognitive-behavioral approach with clients… There are any number of books that offer aid
for those in trouble with alcohol. Here are some of the best:
- How to Quit Drinking Without AA by Jerry Dorsman
- Rational Recovery by Jack Trimpey
- The Miracle Method by Scott D. Miller and Insoo Kim Berg”
-Connie Lauerman
Chicago Tribune
“Dorsman’s plan for quitting alcohol is heavily behavioral;
beginning with diet and exercise programs, finding different ways to cope with
urges, new ways to deal with anxiety, anger, depression… Most of all he
challenges drinkers to come to the conclusion he reached a dozen years ago: The
benefits of drinking are not worth the problems drinking causes.”
-Darrell Sifford
The Philadelphia Inquirer
“The premise of this guide is that the individual is
responsible for his own health. It offers a thorough approach, backed with
practical guidelines and techniques… Can be a helpful companion to the AA
program.”
-Richard Peck
Addiction & Recovery Magazine
“The author plainly cares for his audience, clearly states
the magnitude of the problem and offers a well defined road to recovery.
Dorsman knows of what he speaks and offers hope to millions of Americans. All
of us laughed at the creative brilliance of W.C. Fields, but his tragic death
was no laughing matter. Alcoholism does not have to be a killer and Jerry
Dorsman’s book can be an important first step in saving many lives. A very well
done work and highly recommended.”
-Al Ralston
The Coast Book Review
“(This book) finds the right blend of substance and
simplicity… bubbling with resources… a worthwhile addition to today’s addiction
literature.”
-Bill Thompson
Natural Health Magazine
“The author has done a service in drawing attention to the
physical aspects of recovery; his book is full of useful information and should
improve the effectiveness of any recovery program.”
-Jim O’Brien
Your Health Magazine
“Once the need to quit drinking has been established by the
first couple of chapters, the journey to breaking the habit, healing and
building inner strength begins. Chapters include worksheets, practice
exercises, and exhaustive lists of helpful hints and techniques.”
-Wendy Hiester Gilbert
Cecil Whig Newspaper
“How to Quit Drinking Without AA offers a self-help approach
which can be used with or without affiliation with AA. Ths book provides the
latest facts on alcoholism, new treatment methods and an organized plan to help
you quit drinking. If you’re serious about quitting drinking, this book
deserves to be a member of your personal support group.”
-Ed Anderson
Recovery & Beyond
“A complete self-help guide to quitting drinking… focuses on
techniques to rejeuvenate the body, improve health, and heal internal problems
during recovery.”
-Hal Hager
Forecast Magazine
“Dorsman has developed a five point program that, among
other things, doesn’t insist the recovering person attend meetings, an
important point for loners; does inform him or her about health and diet
specifics during recovery; doesn’t moralize; does utilize alternative health
resources; doesn’t keep one focused on drug and alcohol avoidance; does help
identify and make key necessary lifestyle changes–such as diet, relaxation,
building inner strength–through information, worksheets and self-tests; doesn’t
keep one a fearful, lifelong member of an organization; does have a spiritual
component, but not a God-He focus… After careful examination of this program, I
give it my endorsement as a creative and constructive alternative to AA.”
