- I think I used every justification known to excuse my drinking alone. So what happens when you want to stop drinking alone?
Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind is answering reader's questions live. Today she answers, How do I stop drinking alone at home?
The premise of This Naked Mind is that while you consciously want to make a change in your life (like to stop drinking alone) your far more powerful and controlling subconscious mind- which again is responsible for your desires - has not gotten that memo.
It’s taken years for you to form these deeply ingrained beliefs that alcohol is vital to unwinding and relaxation. It takes specific and conscious effort to get to the bottom of why exactly you believe that. Once you do you can re-wire your thinking to where you no longer have this conflict between what you want to do (stop drinking alone) and what you want to do (have a drink).
In my book, I use a specific technique called Liminal Thinking and Liminal points that allow you to uncover all of your subconscious conditioning and regain harmony between your conscious and subconscious desire around alcohol.
Not everyone who goes through the process can completely stop drinking alone, but most do come to a place of peace in their relationship with alcohol - which for many, like myself, means that drinking loses its luster and is no longer desirable - so I just don't drink at all.
It's important to work through all of your beliefs and experiences in order to really be able to stop drinking alone and start enjoying life for what it is. I can promise you that once you do you'll experience a freedom and happiness that you never realized was possible.

You are such an amazing force right now. Never stop. Never ever stop. You are helping more people that you can ever know. Love you Annie
Thank you!
Hi Annie, love all you do. I was a late night closet drinker. Because of the shame you hide it. You don’t want people to know you have a problem. Again sober 15 years now. It’s late night now as I write this. Instead of drinking, I’m writing this to tell people you can stop drinking if it’s an issue.
Thank you for inspiring and encouraging others!
I wish I never got involved in the sick and twisted diseased cult of aa. I did not have a disease and I wasn't powerless. The Cult hindered my recovery. It is a fear and shame based program. Worst thing I have ever been apart of.
@@easygoing7500 yeah they want you to fail so you keep coming back , its a business they need aclochlics otherwise they would'nt exist . glad you found the easyway
That’s where I struggle, drinking at home to relax. Since finishing the book a couple weeks ago my recycle been only has 2 bottles and not 5!! Thanks Annie, I know I still have a ways to go but am going to reread the book and watch all your videos. Joined the online community as well:)
I hope you're continuing to do well.
Just discovered this great book- has first few days of zero alcohol after about 6 months of daily heavy drinking :)
Yay for you! :)
Lovely Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Saankramer Life Card System (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to stop drinking minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got excellent success with it.
Alex, please tell me more.
Oh listening to you is making me cry.......you're so right. Its so incredibly a puzzle to to finish. You are fantastic.
Thank you so much!
@@ThisNakedMind Im reducing the intake of wine, its not a race, when the time comes for things to open again, AA is my first start with help. Ohhh, now I'm crying again.
Thanks.
Helps me a lot...
Luv u
So good!
Thank you!
''Heart Breathing'' Love it... Breathe through the heart to heal ; )
I love that. It's working
Yes - its called "tonglen" and you can heal by doing it. Breathe in to your spiritual heart - pain suffering etc and breath out healing We all breathe the same air just as all fish breathe the same water in the ocean. Your heart is limitless. You can breathe in the whole worlds suffering and still have room for more.
good thoughts, i can hear in your voice that this subject is hard for you to talk about
It gets easier with time!
I want to know how to stop drinking when I don’t want to but know I need to
That's called cognitive dissonance. Try The Alcohol Experiment to help you move through that - www.alcoholexperiment.com
Yes, this can definitely work, we all can be fairly intuitive about this. However, if you're struggling and can't "find a way" check out Steffon Barkload's website for a few suggestions that don't depend on medicine, groups or judgy people.
Thanks for the tip!
Annie, hi! I just finished listening your book, it is great! And I decided to stop drinking.
I have a question: can it be that my subconscious minds won't get the ideas from the book deeply inside itself because I listened to the English version? English is a second language to me. Maybe I should read (or listen) the Russian version for my subconscious minds to absorb all the ideas? Thanks, Yerlan
That's an interesting question! We've had other non-native speakers read the book and it hasn't seemed to be an issue for them but anything is possible!
I drink every day hate it. Don’t get a buz just feel Sick 🤢 all the time. Never ending circle. Please how can I stop this
Like me, you have to WANT to stop. Im happy to swap stories with you Carol, Im trying again, but it's only been 5 days. I get anxiety, panic, Im not really a very happy lady.
We have a Live Alcohol Experiment starting today. Join us - livetae.com
Hay are paths will probably never meet but yeah I drink every day and constantly feel sick. I hope but dunno just don't know
I am here for you. I am 60 and stopped alcohol when I was 25 cold turkey. Havent had a drop since. If I can do it , anybody can do it. I am nothing special - just an alcoholic. You are stronger than you think. You can dump the desire for alcohol on me. Spiritually, I will take the desire you have, into my heart and return it to you in the form of healing, love and light. I know it sounds wierd but what I am talking about is something called tonglen and it heals. Imagine your favourite drink is petrol - you wouldnt drink it because it will kill you. Pretend for 6 months Your subconcious mind doesnt know the differnce between the truth and a lie, Thats what I did. It works - its all in your mind Praying for you - you can do it Bill

Stop drinking more then 3 at home cause that mean you drink to much . I have one one to drink and it’s gets boring drinking by yourself . That why I started cutting down at home , at family event and extended family event by 28 .
If you drink more the 3 alone then you have to come to term that your a problem drinker . My friends are married and have kids now , some don’t live in my state anymore .
Too much is relative to the drinker. Current guidelines say that we should limit to no more than 1 drink per day.
@@ThisNakedMind I don’t drink durning Monday-Thursday anymore and for the 2nd in a row I havent drank more then 7 beers by myself for the entire weekend . I never thought I get this low in cutdown drinking by myself
i think my problem is , is habit
Develop new ones that fulfill you instead!
Drinking alone and want to stop
Have you looked into The Alcohol Experiment (alcoholexperiment.com) or The PATH (nakedmindpath.com)?
Go to jail.
This will force and fix your ass real fast.
Best results, don't need a book.
That is also temporary. Even if it lasts years
Ice Man been to jail had dui gun charges etc and I still did the same dumb shit until I really decided not to indulge in negative activity slim. It doesn’t matter your mind has to really want to get right with self
Ice Man Ha Ha good one. You are funny
That's not true. Because a lot of women can stay sober for 9 months (of pregnancy) and go right back to drinking after. It's called ADDICTION.
Ice Man ....you gotta discover what pain is in your brain from childhood and do the work to turn those wounds into scars ....otherwise you’re always going to try and soothe that pain that gets triggered in your traumatized adult life....
Is this a trick question?
Don't buy alcohol.
Your life must be perfect.
Max Covfefe ...alcohol is an attempt to soothe the pain in your brain, if you don’t buy alcohol ,you’ll just end up with a new addiction to try and soothe the pain ....
you gotta seek therapy and fix the wounds from your childhood trauma ....this is where the real problem hides in your brain ....
Alcohol isn’t the problem.
Childhood trauma is the problem.
Max Covfefe wow you sanctimonious , lacking in empathy, disingenuous twit.
@@TheCurlyclub epic response 😂👏🏾👏🏾

I stopped drinking when doctor tell me I have chirrosis of damn liver😂
