Research today shows that the psyche is no longer a valid explanation for the urge to drink alcohol. If one can't keep their hands off the glass, it's primarily due to neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, or glutamate, which alcohol disrupts. The affected individual feels constantly stressed, down, or unmotivated, and repeatedly reaches for the glass because alcohol promises short-term relief. The addiction spiral continues. This book explains for the first time in a medically precise yet easily understandable way why quitting alcohol is so difficult. It's not merely a lack of willpower; it's the brain chemistry gone awry.

As if that weren't enough, alcohol robs the body of vital nutrients. The symptoms of nutrient deficiencies range from A for anxiety to Z for tremors, but are often attributed to the psyche. However, it would be so simple to fill these gaps to promote well-being and prevent relapses. Yet, alcoholics are expected to tackle all of this solely with sheer willpower. It's no wonder that only about one in five drinkers successfully achieves long-term sobriety with conventional treatment methods.

The authors have developed a nutrient plan that has supported Gaby Guzek, a recovering alcoholic, in her successful journey to sobriety. In the USA, some clinics also utilize nutrients in the treatment of alcoholics, and their success rates are significantly above average. Even Bill W., the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, was able to achieve lasting sobriety only through the use of nutrients.

Those who read this book will come to understand alcoholism as a physical problem. Once this insight is gained, it provides substantial help in the journey to sobriety. Additional tips and tricks reveal how to implement a sober life in daily routines. The book is aimed at anyone who drinks too much, dissatisfied sober individuals, and the relatives of alcoholics.
