The Problem is Alcohol

This Naked Mind 2023-07-27 | If you are drinking more than you want to, I cannot reiterate this enough: there is nothing wrong with you. You are not broken. In fact, your brain and body are reacting to alcohol in exactly the way you are designed to.

Your brain is doing exactly what a brain does when exposed to an addictive substance. You aren't drinking more than you want to because something is wrong with you, but because you are HUMAN.

Once we learn this, finding freedom from alcohol becomes so much easier.

Behavior Change With This Naked Mind

This Naked Mind 2023-07-26 | 18 days. 21 days. 66 days. 254 days.

You might have heard any of these numbers quoted when it comes to changing a habit.

If it isn't an amount of time that creates habit change what is it? Repetition? Willpower? Luck.

It turns out. It's none of those. Science has revealed that lasting habit change is a result of our emotions.

Changing how we feel about a habit is the most effective and sustainable way to change that habit long term.

And how do we change the way we feel about a habit? Knowledge. It turns out that "the more you know" isn't just a catchy after-school slogan. There's science behind it!

Alcohol Will Keep You From Reaching Your Full Potential

This Naked Mind 2023-07-25 | Society teaches us to believe that alcohol works to improve everything about us. But the truth is, it actually keeps us from reaching our full potential. It numbs us, it dulls us down, hiding the most amazing parts of who we are.

Once you stop drinking, it is like you are completely rediscovering yourself, and it is such an empowering awakening!

How to Give Yourself Grace: Recognizing Intention

This Naked Mind 2023-07-24 | So often we get asked "How do I give myself grace?", and it's a valid question. Giving ourselves grace and breaking out of that shame & blame cycle can feel impossible.

It can take some time & practice, but I have found the easiest way to give yourself grace is through recognizing intention.

So maybe you had a drink when you didn't want to. What was your intention there? Ask yourself why?

Maybe you drank because you didn't see how you couldn't. Maybe you drank because something happened where you didn't think you could deal with it without a drink. The odds are, you never had any bad intentions when you drank. In fact, you were probably doing it as an act of self-love.

When you just recognize that you had good intentions, it becomes so much easier to give yourself some grace.

The Freedom That Comes From Dropping Labels

This Naked Mind 2023-07-21 | While not the case for everyone, for John, myself, and so many others - the term "alcoholic" can feel really scary.

It can feel like once you take on the identity of an "alcoholic", everything changes. Suddenly you feel like you aren't normal. Like something is wrong with you. Like you are to blame for becoming addicted to an addictive substance. Like you failed.

Let me share something radical with you ... nothing and no one can tell you if you are an alcoholic or not. In fact, medical professionals don't even use the term anymore. They use the term Alcohol Use Disorder, and AUD is a spectrum.

So if you feel the label is holding your back or causing shame and blame - reject it. If the label doesn't fit, you don't have to take it on.

It was once John and I rejected the label that we found true freedom. And the same can be true for you.

Explore the "alcoholic" label and find true freedom with us in The PATH: 365 at tnmind.co/Aug2023PATH365_yts

Turning Something Painful Into Something Beautiful

This Naked Mind 2023-07-20 | It can be so easy to look back on our past experiences and become filled with regret & shame. But the truth is, we can't change our past. And we wouldn't be where we are today without our past.

So instead of focusing how the past hurt you, flip it around and appreciate how the past molded you, and how you can make something beautiful from it.

Do it with me in The PATH: 365 at tnmind.co/Aug2023PATH365_yts

I Truly Believed That Alcohol Was Helping Me Have Fun

This Naked Mind 2023-07-19 | Looking back, it seems crazy to realize how deeply I thought alcohol was helping me. To my core, I believed that alcohol made me funnier. I believed alcohol helped me loosen up. I believed I had infinitely more fun with a drink in my hand.

But there I was, completely alcohol-free at a dinner with my friends and laughing harder than I ever did when I had alcohol in my system.

So empowering to realize that I didn't need other than myself to have a great time!

Experience the joys of being alcohol-free with us in The Alcohol Experiment at alcoholexperiment.com

Why The Term Alcoholic Is Toxic

This Naked Mind 2023-07-18 | Using the word alcoholic seems to say that it’s normal to consume an addictive substance – and not become addicted to it - and abnormal not to.

The truth is, alcohol is addictive - not only to alcoholics but to any human being who drinks it.

Using the term “alcoholic” allows us to forget alcohol is a drug by implying that drinking is “safe” for anyone who is not an alcoholic. We accept alcohol as a vital part of society. Blaming the alcoholic for alcohol-related problems. We insist that alcohol is somehow different from “hard” drugs. We feel ‘safe’ in our drinking because our friends who go to AA are alcoholics and we are not.

Let’s stop using the word alcoholic and call it like it is. I am a person who was addicted to alcohol. Much as you might have an addiction to cigarettes, food, or prescription drugs. All legal, yet deadly if abused. Let’s start honest conversations placing the blame on the addictive substances. Rather than labeling, let’s focus on treating people when they first start to question their relationship with alcohol.

Will you join me in changing the language for one of acceptance and hope? Do it with me in The Alcohol Experiment at alcoholexperiment.com

People Are Finding New Ways to Stop Drinking

This Naked Mind 2023-07-16 | For years and years, traditional recovery methods like rehab or AA felt like the only options when it came to wanting to change your drinking. If you wanted to change your drinking, we were made to believe that we had a problem or that something was wrong with us ... but that is no longer the case and it is so empowering.

We see celebrities drinking less or nothing at all every day. Influencers are all over social media sharing their story and raising awareness about drinking. More and more people are participating in alcohol-free months like Dry January or Dry July. And of course, Quit Lit like This Naked Mind is becoming more popular than ever.

It is so beautiful to see the narrative around changing your drinking habits shift from "If you aren't drinking, you must have a problem" to "If you're getting curious about your drinking, you're making your health a priority." Let's keep this momentum going!!!

Getting Creative With Mocktails

This Naked Mind 2023-07-15 | We get so many questions asking if non-alcoholic drinks or mocktails are "okay" in this journey to change your relationship with alcohol. The truth is ... that is completely up to you!

While some can find AF drinks to be triggering, so many actually love a good mocktail or AF beer or wine. There is no one-size fits all on this journey. It is yours, and yours alone.

So get curious! Try some AF drinks and see how you feel. Maybe it will work for you, maybe it won't. There is no right or wrong here, there is only what works for you & what doesn't!

How Maxi Found Freedom From Alcohol

This Naked Mind 2023-07-14 | When you are drinking more than you want to, your brain tells you that you are completely alone. You start asking questions like "What is wrong with me?" or "Why can't I get ahold of this?" or "Why can some people have just 1 or 2, but I can't?"

But you're not alone. In fact, we have had hundreds of guests on This Naked Mind Podcast who share their stories about how they found themselves asking those exact same questions.

You are not alone & you are not broken.

The Language We Use Around Habit Change Is So Important

This Naked Mind 2023-07-13 | Our language is so important. The way we frame change in our minds can carry so much weight.

There is a huge difference between saying "I have to quit drinking" and "I want to quit drinking".

The former sounds more like an obligation, something that we are almost being forced to do. When we frame it like this, it often comes with resistance.

But if we frame this change as something positive, as something we want to do, it becomes something empowering and exciting instead!

Reframe your mindset around changing your relationship with alcohol with us in our FREE 5-Day Virtual Event at tnmind.co/Jul2023VirtualEvent_yts

Life Alcohol Free Is Phenomenal

This Naked Mind 2023-07-12 | When we imagine a life without alcohol, we think it will be miserable. We think we will feel deprived. We think we will be missing out.

But through the This Naked Mind methodology of gaining knowledge and changing how you feel about alcohol, none of those things are true at all! You don't miss it, you probably don't even think about it. That's the power of a mindset shift!

Traditional Recovery Is Traumatizing

This Naked Mind 2023-07-11 | Sure, we can change our drinking or any other habit with negativity & fear. We can scare ourselves into never drinking again, but is that what we want?

Do we want to feel like we aren't normal? Like something is wrong with us? Like we are missing out or deprived?

Or do we want to feel FREE? For me, scaring myself into never drinking again seemed worse than just continuing to drink. So I chose to give myself compassion. I chose to learn. And through self-compassion in knowledge, I found true freedom.

Choose freedom through science & self-compassion with us in our FREE 5-Day Virtual Event at tnmind.co/Jul2023VirtualEvent_yts

Associating Worthiness With Behavior

This Naked Mind 2023-07-10 | If you have someone in your life who is trying to change their drinking, or if you are trying to change your drinking the absolute most important thing to remember is that COMPASSION is the key to change.

Give yourself or your loved one some grace, because our worthiness is not defined by our behavior. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of freedom.

We Arent Supposed to Be Happy All the Time

This Naked Mind 2023-07-09 | We are sold on this intense lie that we are supposed to feel happy all the time.

This lie keeps us believing that there is something wrong with us.

This lie leads us to believe that everyone else has it figured out but us.

If you are not feeling good all of the time, that doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. You are not wrong to feel, you feel because you are human.

You are NOT broken. You are human.

EP 607: Naked Life Story - Marcus Widblom

This Naked Mind 2023-07-07 | Growing up in Sweden, Marcus found alcohol to be ever-present. From his first sip of wine at 11 to partying at 13, it seemed as if alcohol was the answer. And Marcus kept turning to it for fun, relaxation, comfort, and pain relief. However, his relationship with alcohol and with himself didn’t bring him peace. He joins Annie Grace to discuss his long journey to finding freedom from alcohol, his experience in overcoming alcohol-induced anxiety, and how curiosity can be the key to finding solace.

How to Have Alcohol-Free Fun With Your Friends

This Naked Mind 2023-07-06 | "What am I going to do for fun with my friends if I'm not drinking anymore?"

I know I had that question in my mind when I first went alcohol-free. When you spend so many years associating drinking with a good time, socializing without the booze can feel like a scary thing. But it doesn't have to be!

Instead of asking that scary question, how about we switch it up & ask "What can I try with my friends now that I have so much freedom to explore?"

See what a difference that bit of positive emotion makes in that question?

There are so many fun activities for you to try that definitely don't require a drink to make fun!

Try some yoga, hiking, meditation, hang out in the park, go to a farmer's market, try some new food recipes! The list is endless!

What's your favorite alcohol-free activity to do with your friends?

Mommy Wine Culture

This Naked Mind 2023-07-05 | There’s no official, medical or cultural definition of “Mommy Wine Culture” But you’d recognize it if you saw it. It’s things like the “Moms Who Need Wine” Facebook group. A wine glass that simply says “mommy’s sippy cup.” A baby’s onesie that says “mommy loves me more than wine.” A throw pillow that says “Mama Needs Some Wine.”

Beth found herself swept up in Mommy Wine Culture, because it seemed like the only way to vent & navigate being a mom and being a woman.

This culture tells us that we can buy the solution to navigating parenthood in the form of a $12 bottle of wine because the actual solution — a major systemic overhaul — is way more complicated.

I can tell you from experience that motherhood is infinitely better, and easier to navigate, without the wine. If you're curious about breaking free from the mommy wine culture like Beth & I were, join me in our FREE 5-Day Virtual Event at tnmind.co/Jul2023VirtualEvent_yts

Dealing With Sober Shaming

This Naked Mind 2023-07-03 | While choosing not to drink is one of the healthiest, most empowering decisions you can make for yourself, there is no guarantee that you will be met with only love & support regarding this decision.

One of the most important things to remember is that someone else's response to your not drinking is actually only a reflection of them, not you.

Maybe they have fears about how your relationship could change. Maybe your decision is causing them to get uncomfortable with their own drinking habits. The possibilities are endless, but it is so important for you to know that their reaction has very little to do with you, and everything to do with them.

At the end of the day, the decision you are making is YOUR decision and no one else's. This lifestyle change is going to dramatically improve your life, and it will likely have a positive impact on those around you as well!

No matter what - wear this decision with pride, because it is one of the most empowering things you can do!

The Alcoholic Label - Racquel

This Naked Mind 2023-07-02 | For decades, we have called anyone who is drinking more than they want to an alcoholic. We have put the blame solely on the human being, rather than on the addictive substance that absolutely anyone can become addicted to.

With This Naked Mind, I flipped that entire concept on its head. I put the blame on the alcohol, not the human. It was radical. It was against societal norms.

Like Racquel, so many go into this journey with This Naked Mind with skepticism and disbelief, and I get it.

Our method to change is unlike any other. It's rebellious.

But skepticism quickly turns to curiosity. Curiosity turns to freedom.

Maybe you're like Racquel, and you want to dive into This Naked Mind's methodology just to prove me wrong, and that's okay! I'll take it. Because my belief is that your skepticism will find its way to freedom through science and compassion like hundreds of thousands of others.

The Power of Journaling

This Naked Mind 2023-07-01 | Journaling is such a powerful tool when it comes to behavior change. It is part of almost every program we offer at This Naked Mind and it is a huge part of my daily life as well ... but that wasn't always the case.

For years, I had two voices in my head:

I had the toxic voice telling me to stop drinking, telling me I was awful & a failure & that I was killing myself. This voice was telling me to do the right thing, but it was coming from a place of self-loathing & disappointment.

Then I had the compassionate voice telling me to give myself a break, to worry about this problem later, and that everything was going to be okay.

It wasn't until I started journaling these things that I could see which voice I was listening to, and why. Once I put these thoughts on paper, I could see that even though I should stop drinking, I was listening to the compassionate voice. And the self-loathing voice was actually what was causing me to drink even more.

Once you give yourself some distance & put these things down on paper, it is so much easier to understand and use. I truly believe that those who incorporate journaling into their journey are more likely to be successful at creating lasting change.

EP 605: Naked Life Story - John Lewis

This Naked Mind 2023-06-30 | From a young age, John was exposed to alcohol and its impact on family dynamics. As he navigated the challenges of his upbringing, John also had to confront the additional burden of coming to terms with his own sexuality. Living in a society filled with misconceptions about homosexuality and surrounded by the fear surrounding HIV, John grappled with his own identity and struggled with the notion of coming out. Feeling isolated and uncertain, he sought solace in alcohol, finding temporary relief from the internal turmoil he experienced. Over time, however, John's relationship with alcohol escalated. Through a series of transformative experiences and personal growth, he committed himself to overcoming fear and stigma, rebuilding relationships, and finding a path toward acceptance and happiness. In this heartfelt episode, John shares his story, highlighting the importance of understanding, open communication, and embracing one's true self.

If Youre Not Learning, Youre Not Growing

This Naked Mind 2023-06-30 | We are always changing. And this isn't a bad thing.

We change our opinions, we change our beliefs, we change our feelings, we change our minds.

This is growth. And the more we learn, the more we grow.

Just because you feel one way today does not mean you have to feel the same way or want the same things tomorrow.

It's okay to change your mind.

Are you open to change? Join us for the change of a lifetime in The PATH at tnmind.co/Jul2023PATH365_yts

The Unhelpful Idea of Rock Bottom

This Naked Mind 2023-06-29 | Imagine going outside each day and driving your car into the house and not stopping until either the house became unlivable or the car became undrivable. 🚗🏠💥 It sounds ridiculous, right?

Yet that's how we approach changing our relationship with alcohol. We avoid the very idea until we have a rock-bottom experience. We create this expectation that the pain we cause ourselves must be great enough to force us to change, and we still aren't happy about making that change. 😬

Changing only because you've decided things can't go any further down from here isn't the greatest starting point. You're beginning in a place of such deep shame, pain, and guilt. You can choose to get curious about your relationship at any point. Not with the intention to stop drinking forever but just to see what changes you need to make on your terms. That shift in outlook and objective opens you up to a world of possibilities that didn't exist while you were waiting for rock bottom. 🌍🔓😌

FOMO to JOMO

This Naked Mind 2023-06-28 | So many of us either continue to drink or feel miserable and deprived when we aren't drinking due to FOMO. 😩 Before the night has even begun we create this scenario in our head that drags us down. It's this highlight reel of all the things we'll be missing out on and enjoying less because there isn't alcohol in our glass. 🍷

If only we could play the tape forward and use our clear and present mind to experience the JOMO (joy of missing out) that we are privileged to experience by not drinking. 😌 No hangovers the next day. 🌅 No more trying to piece together the night from fuzzy memories, stories friends tell you, and pictures on your phone. 📸 No overdraft charges or $20 drinks while at the concert. 💸 The list goes on and on. 📋

The mindset shift to JOMO creates such incredible joy and anticipation in you. You can look forward to catching and singing along to all of your favorite songs. 🎶 Your memory bank will be present and engaged to capture every moment and record it for you to play back in your mind. 🧠💭 And I can assure you, you'll never wake up thinking - I wish I drank last night! 🙅‍♂️🍻

The Difference Between This Naked Mind & Traditional Recovery

This Naked Mind 2023-06-27 | When we think of quitting drinking, we typically think of one thing: using willpower to force ourselves to drink less or not at all.

In using willpower, we are literally forcing ourselves to do something we don't want to do. We associate that experience with pain, and shame, and blame. It's definitely not a pleasant or easy experience.

But it doesn't have to be that way. The road to habit change doesn't have to be a painful or scary one. In fact, at This Naked Mind, it's the opposite.

Instead of using pain to change, we like to use hope & information.

When you learn something new, you feel something new. And when you feel something new, it allows you to change without pain! It allows you to change with hope and excitement. How empowering does that sound?

Things Are Changing In The Sober Movement

This Naked Mind 2023-06-26 | Ireland recently announced that alcohol with come with warning labels.

The World Health Organization has announced that no amount of alcohol is safe.

Non-alcoholic drinks are becoming more and more popular.

The number of people getting curious about their drinking is growing every day.

Things are changing in the sober movement! Day by day, we are raising awareness on what alcohol really is, and how it works.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't be more excited about this!

Drinking Due To Stress & Anxiety

This Naked Mind 2023-06-26 | Raise your hand if you've ever felt like you were stuck in the clutches of a drink. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Looking back, Soraya realized she used to gulp down that glass of liquid relief from a place of pure stress and anxiety. It was like a broken record playing in her mind, chanting, "I am trapped. Give me the drink now." Can you relate to that feeling? 😫🍸

That’s a familiar belief for so many of us. The one where you convince yourself, "I can't do this. There's something I have to tackle, and I just can't handle it." Sound familiar? 🤔💭

That thought is like a magnet pulling us towards the bottle. For Soraya it meant that even back when she was a teenager, chugging forties in the park, she convinced herself she couldn't connect with others without that drink. It's funny how our minds trick us, right? 😅🤷‍♀️

But here's the truth we need to embrace: We are capable of so much more than we think. That drink had us fooled, making us believe we were powerless without it. But let me tell you, you've got a reservoir of strength within you. 💪✨

Defy those self-imposed limitations and show that voice in your head who's boss. Life without the drink is a world of possibilities, where confidence, connection, and true freedom await. 🌟🗝️

The Questions We Dont Want to Ask About Our Drinking

This Naked Mind 2023-06-24 | I hear you, Michael. I've been there.

Before I rewired my brain & changed how I felt about alcohol, I found myself in a very similar spot. I had a successful career, an amazing husband, two kids that I loved. On the outside, I appeared to have it all together.

Except for when it came to alcohol. Alcohol was the one single thing that I could not seem to get right. Have you felt that too?

And then comes the worrying, and the questions: When will I have my next drink? Am I drinking too much? Am I an alcoholic? Do I have a problem?

So many of us ask those questions. But I have to tell you ... they are the wrong questions to be asking. Instead of asking if you have a problem, start asking WHY.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are not broken. Find out why. Michael & I both know from experience what a difference that simple question can make!

Find out why with us in The PATH at tnmind.co/Jul2023PATH365_yts

How Annie Graces Husband Quit Drinking On Accident

This Naked Mind 2023-06-23 | When I decided to quit drinking, my husband assured me that he wanted no part in it. He liked drinking, he thought drinking was fun. He had no desire to ever stop.

I thought that his not drinking would potentially make my not drinking a challenge. But the truth is, it was actually such a gift.

My husband drinking around me meant that I had to get really clear on my values and what I wanted. It meant I had to choose myself and continue to do so, regardless of what he was doing.

This made me so much stronger. And you know what? After reading my book, my husband stopped drinking anyways! Without a plan, without realizing it, he suddenly just didn't care to have a drink anymore.

My husband, like so many others, actually stopped drinking ON ACCIDENT because that is how powerful that rewiring of your brain can be.

The Gift That Keeps on Getting Better

This Naked Mind 2023-06-22 | 🌞 Rise and shine, it’s another beautiful day! That wasn’t always the case for Rina or really most of us. Back in our drinking days it was more like “Somebody shut the blinds!” Am I right? ⬛

There was a time when mornings were Rina’s nemesis. The mere thought of waking up and facing another day made her cringe. But those days are firmly banished to her past and now she’s head over heels in love with those early hours. 💕

For Rina, one particular morning a few months into her alcohol-free journey stands out. She sat outside in the early morning hours, cradling a warm cup of coffee, and watched the vivid show nature puts on while night makes its way into day. Sunlight pierced through the lush trees, casting a mesmerizing glow upon their vibrant leaves. It was a sight that demanded her attention, and she couldn't help but soak it all in. 🌳☀️

Moments like that bring a startling and sobering realization. Living under the influence of alcohol dims your senses, it blurs the world's beauty that’s been right in front of you the whole time. Living alcohol-free brings incredible gifts, like the joy of being able to see it all! The colors are more vibrant, the scents more intoxicating (in a good way!), and the joy more palpable. It's like discovering a hidden treasure chest that was there all along. 🌈💫

The most precious gift of all that comes from this journey is gratitude. Gratitude is the dazzling gem that an alcohol-free life unveils. It's the ability to fully appreciate the simple wonders that surround us, the moments that once went unnoticed. It's a gift that keeps on giving, growing stronger and more profound with each passing day. 🎁✨

Saving Money Alcohol Free

This Naked Mind 2023-06-21 | 💰 Invest in yourself, not alcohol. 🌟

An incredible transformation happens when we redirect our hard-earned money from alcohol to investing in ourselves. ✨💰

Gone are the days of needing to justify our self-care expenses. No longer do we have to question whether we deserve to treat ourselves or feel guilty about spending money on things that make us feel good. Now, we're taking that money we save by not drinking and channeling it into something that truly benefits us, both now and in the long run. 💪💸

Investing in yourself is a game-changer. It's giving yourself a perpetual gift. Whether it's learning a new skill, pursuing a passion project, taking care of your physical and mental well-being, or investing in personal growth, you're putting your money where it matters most—your own happiness and fulfillment. 🎁❤️

Think about it: Every dollar saved from skipping those pricey cocktails or bottles adds up to endless possibilities for self-improvement and self-discovery. You're unlocking a world of opportunities to expand your horizons, chase your dreams, and become the best version of yourself. 💫💵

Top 3 Tricks for Getting Curious About Quitting Drinking

This Naked Mind 2023-06-19 | Are you starting to get curious about your relationship with alcohol? Maybe you're starting to feel like alcohol is taking more than it's giving. Maybe you're drinking more than you want to. I've been there, and I got curious too. Luckily, I have a few tricks for you!

Tip #1: Get Curious! Once you JUST get curious about your drinking, an entire world can open up for you. There are so many possibilities that can come from getting curious & just asking some different questions!

Tip #2: Give Yourself Compassion - We have this idea in our minds that when it comes to habit change, we have to beat ourselves up in order for any change to come. I am here to tell you - that's just not true! Self-compassion is the key to change, you won't believe what a difference this one mindset shift can make!

Tip #3: Consider How Much You Really Know About Alcohol - The truth is, we probably know more about Advil than we do about what's in our drinks. But once you learn a little bit more about what alcohol does or doesn't do for you, then you can actually consider whether or not this is something that you want to do anymore.

If you're curious about your drinking, and you don't want to embark on this journey alone, join us in the Live Alcohol Experiment at tnmind.co/Jul2023LAE_yts

Why Willpower Leads to Drinking More

This Naked Mind 2023-06-17 | When we decide we want to quit drinking, it's natural to believe that using our willpower is the only way to make that happen.

By definition, willpower means forcing yourself to do something you don't want to do. So while it is possible to quit using willpower, it's not easy, it's not fun, and often can actually lead to drinking even more.

I say we get out of the willpower game all together, and to do that - you change how you FEEL about alcohol so that you no longer even want it!

If you don't want to drink, it will be pretty easy not to, right? Because without desire, there is no temptation.

EP 601: Naked Life Story - Michael Leeser

This Naked Mind 2023-06-16 | Michael’s relationship with alcohol started late and spiraled out of control as he grappled with finding alignment between the faith he’d been raised in and the internal beliefs and desires that defied that very doctrine. Listen as he shares with Annie Grace his personal journey, starting with his struggle with faith and sexuality and how it changed the role alcohol played in his life. He discusses how his anxiety and desire for peace led him to excessive alcohol consumption and hiding bottles. However, a turning point came when he discovered Annie Grace's book, "This Naked Mind," which reshaped his perspective and ultimately led him to find freedom through the Live Alcohol Experiment.

Alcohol Doesnt Make Anything Better

This Naked Mind 2023-06-16 | "We are literally sitting around drinking poison. How does that make things better?"

I couldn't have said it better myself, Steve!

We have this idea in our heads that we need booze to be social. We think alcohol helps us loosen up. We think it makes us funnier. We think it makes us a better version of ourselves. Society has actually trained us to believe that an event isn't really an event without the drinks.

But once you have found freedom and you experience these same vacations or events without alcohol as a factor, you realize how false all of those beliefs are.

In fact, vacations & holidays & get-togethers are a million times better now than they ever were when I had wine in my glass!
