- How to change how you FEEL about drinking.
Did you know our brains are more powerful than supercomputers? Think about it! We created supercomputers. We’ve developed cures for diseases. We’ve been to the moon. Is there anything we can’t do if we put our minds to it?
Our minds are powerful.
Powerful enough to help us change how we feel about drinking, and even, our desire to drink.
I have the power to change my thinking, and so do you.
And JOIN US! The February Intensive class is now open for enrollment - nakedmindcourse....
It can happen! And it can happen despite failing in the past again and again! I came to this place after I made the decision to quit. I began studying alcohol, it’s effect on my body and my brain. I wanted to know why, despite so many bad experience, why the hell I kept returning. And I got answers through people like Annie Grace, Allen Carr, and Sober Leon. Suddenly I was finding people who I could truly relate to - they were describing me! And this attitude can apply to ANY addiction- cigarettes, food, gambling, even addiction to a person. Cognitive dissonance. It’s crazy. I wish I’d had this information years ago when I quit cigarettes. I wish I’d had the information when I’d tried to quit or control alcohol before. Better late then never! I just hit my 5 month mark, and it’s been effortless. I have lost any desire. I revel in the thought of never being hung over, never forgetting what happened the night before, never feeling anxious and guilty and sad. I rarely drank when I had young kids, and I now have a five year old granddaughter. It brings me great joy to know she’ll never have a memory of her Grammy being drunk and stupid. That’s a great feeling!
All those learning experiences have helped you to be successful now!
The first time I read Naked MInd, it didn't "take". Two years later I've read it again and this time I have been AF for 50 days. My whole mindset just changed. Thank you.
That is just awesome!
Fantastic! It’s truly a miracle I’ve been 4 years AF thanks to Annie!
Thank you so much Annie!! Because of your books and 30 day Experiment I've had a huge mind shift with alcohol, just within the past few days. Yesterday I wrote an angry Dear John letter to alcohol. Felt good.
I wrote a Dear Gin letter...
Please let me know how you're doing now!

@@ThisNakedMind Hi Annie. I'm doing well. I'm at 3 months af as of yesterday. I would be at almost a year, but had a slip last November. Thank goodness for your book and support I view my slips as a learning experience and not beat myself up. :-) Today I'm beginning a 40 day journey with no sugar. I hope you are doing well.
@@PRESSPLAYRADIO Hello Nat Dialogue Keep striving to improve yourself
Hi Annie I got your book this naked mind audio book, just want to say what a fantastic listen it is and you narrated it really well. Well done for all the hard work you put into writing it. the detail and research is incredible, I've read allen carr and alcohol lied to me both wonderful books, yours is my favourite 👍
Thank you so much!
I'm waiting on ur books and praying that God uses your words to heal. Your podcasts are amazing
Glad you like them! I hope the books bring you healing!
I’m nearly 4 years sober thanks to Annie’s methodology. It’s pioneering genius stuff.
Yes I prayed and this came up in my search right away and I can honestly say she is a blessing because she is gifted in her way of communicating the dangers of alcohol. It made me rethink everything I ever believed about alcohol. I usually only on weekends but I noticed I would binge drink almost every time. I knew I had to stop when I was hiding it from my bible study. I felt like a hypocrite. I can’t stand that feeling of guilt and sickness. Now I want this gone.
Hello Annie It sounds like you are talking about the big difference between a grudging acceptance that you should cut back on or give up alcohol versus a feeling of being happy and delighted that you no longer have to be burdened by the nasty side effects of alcohol.
It really is all about losing the desire to drink. No desire - no temptation!
I find repetition is helping me to really have this sink in. I have to remind myself over and over again about the reality of the “buzz” and my beliefs about it. I just play her videos when I’m running and it’s really helping me.
Repetition is a vital piece of the puzzle for sure!
@@ThisNakedMind you’re so smart Annie. You have a great name mind lol. Love your videos
This is a great message, Thank you Annie.
Changing your thoughts about alcohol is a huge help. ❤
It's a game-changer!
Hi Annie, this has been a slow process for me. I listen to podcasts daily. I said to myself my goal is to never drink again one day . My drinking keeps decreasing. I haven't had wine in my house in months. I said I'll just social drink. I'm finding when I do drink now I'm not liking how I feel. I don't want to feel loopy and like crap in the morning . The physical motion of not having the wine in my hand is hard so I grab a flavored seltzer. Im someone who has a difficult time relaxing so I been doing puzzles if I feel edgy. I feel like I'm getting there. I never drank to get drunk but drank enough for the buz then stopped. I drank to take the edge off after work and if I had a stressful day. I don't want to be like that anymore☺️
It's okay of the process takes time. This isn't a race. It is a journey!
Love Annie Grace! ❤️
Thank you!

You're so welcome!
Thank u for your nice smile make me feel still hope to be recovered 💕
You got this!
I calculated what I believe I was spending in a year, $8000😳😳 Have done a whole 30 and did a 50 day AF. Day 3 and watching every video I can find on kicking it out the door.🥾
It's wild to do the math and factor the cost. When you look beyond the financial cost and start looking at your health, your self-worth, your relationships, etc - you realize just how much everything adds up.
I live in an isolated small drinking town. All I know is alcoholism. I'm married to a heavy beer drinker. I feel trapped by all the drinking. How do I quit drinking when it's all around me? I even live down the street to the liquor store.
Have you tried joining The Alcohol Experiment? You can connect with others who have gone through the same things as you there. www.alcoholexperiment.com
I live in a city centre rows of pubs open when I finish work.. friends all drinkers every social event involves alcohol... it’s hard because it’s everywhere... I’m 5 wks sober... sending you strength if you want to change yourself... 🙏🙏🙏
Wow
Good wow I hope!
Vegans don't like being around meat. Not because they are tempted to eat it (vegan food is really good anyway) but because it reminds them of all the cruelty needed to produce that piece of meat. It reminds them of how selfish humans are, even the ones they love, to put a 5 minute pleasure above the tremendous pain the animal has to go through for their entire life.
Unless your brother is vegan for his health and not for ethics. In that case the comparison with alcohol is totally appropriate.
Yep!
We need to realize that people do things for so many different reasons. We can't ever assume or judge others for their reasons or how they feel. All we can do is listen and hope to understand or at least empathize.
Not totally true. I have been vegan for 11 years. The comparison is actually very accurate- but maybe in different ways - what about the non-ethical marketing from big alcohol pushing this poison on young kids- and all of us - amidst the fact that alcohol kills so many innocent people from drunk drivers (who most likely didn’t realize how drunk they were before getting behind the wheel). To kids who are abused from parents who are under the influence?
Thank u for your kind effort s ,u are my legend,I wish u can help u
Me ❤️
So nice of you
PS I looked up the price of the course. I figure I was only about 8 bucks a day. I’ve already saved double the price of the course in five months! Lol. It’s really not that expensive in my opinion.
That's amazing!
Do a bit of "white knuckling"
There's another youtuber, Craig Beck whose whole premise is based on changing your perception of alcohol through education. Once you REALLY know what alcohol does to you, no sane person would go within 100 metres of it.
So true!!

❤ hi
hello!
I'm so scared Annie. I don't know anything else. How do I change?
Start with knowledge. Allow yourself to get all the information needed to empower you! Come join us in the This Naked Mind Companion App for support, knowledge and more. (It's all totally free - thisnakedmindapp.com)
This withdrawal phase you talk about I do not understand. I usually have two glasses of wine with dinner. But I do not feel a craving for another glass of wine. I just feel sleepy. If I'm at a party, I will want to try another wine if it is something interesting. But when I'm by myself, I have no desire. I remember in Colorado for skiing, I ordered a glass of beer or wine, but I wouldn't want another, because it wasn't very good quality. I guess I'm just a snob.
The withdrawal is still there because you've created this desire for alcohol. Otherwise you wouldn't be entertaining the idea of drinking.
@@ThisNakedMind Is this true for all substances I put in my body? Do I consume meat, potatoes, and vegetables because I am suffering from withdrawal? In the sense that I am hungry, that is true. Alcohol is just a beverage, just as is tea, coffee or pop. We enjoy drinking them, but it does not mean we're withdrawing from them when we consume them again. Coffee, like alcohol, seems to be a problem when people consume too much of it.
You are sooo freaking cute & Funny…..also soooo smart ❤ 😊 thank you
You are so kind!
60 days alcohol free!
Amazing Thomas!!
I wish I hadn't missed the deadline

Hi! So, If I don't do the intensive I won't be able to change?
Not at all. Many find they can change by just reading the book or participating in The Alcohol Experiment.
