I thought I would add to my original review as I've received a request from stop drinking ( I assume Craig Beck) for proof of purchase of the course. If my review had been read properly it would have been noted that I did not buy the course due to the issues with the webinar. It was not live. It's simulated live and immediately my hackles are up because it's pretending to be something it isnt. Here's a quote from Webinar Ninja (no, I don't know this guy/company from adam might I add) which puts things, I think quite succinctly. 'Then, there’s “simulated” live webinars. You create a presentation designed to look like it’s live, or just repackage a previous live webinar. But unlike a webinar replay, you register people who think it’s live — either because you told them so, or you just let them assume so. You might even have some chat going, remotely with you or entirely forged. You hope the audience buys it, along with whatever else you’re selling. Simulating your webinars is not the same thing as automating them. In fact, I think simulating your webinars can do more harm than good in the long run.' So my point to Craig Beck would be, if your product is so good, why introduce it in this fashion? Why not say it's a simulation and be honest. And the webinar itself seems incredibly contrived. I don't know who the 'participants' are but they are either Craig's converted 'disciples'...or it's all made up. Craig, with all this time he's had in lockdown, like the rest of us, could have spent this updating his 'webinar'. Perhaps do a fresh one every month, say it as such and say the other viewings will be recordings. Craig is a businessman and is out to make money , whatever he says, But his product could be ok. And fair play to him for coming up with something that seems to work (hey, that's what trustpilot say, eh). I won't be trying it though will read his free downloadable book -which is nice of him .This is Trustpilot and I'm saying it how I see it. I've given him an extra star on this review and that's for effort. But don't use smoke and mirrors to get people on your course, is my advice.

It's very disappointing that you would go to so much effort to bad mouth a service that saves lives. So, you don't like the marketing approach - I get that but to be so mean spirited and nasty towards a service that you have not tried and does so much good it's a real shame. Best of luck with your search for an answer.
