Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life ‘Brilliant’ – Stella Duffy

Millions of people worry that drinking is affecting their health, yet are unwilling to seek change because of the misery and stigma associated with alcoholism and recovery. They fear drinking less will be boring, difficult and involve deprivation, and significant lifestyle changes.

This Naked Mind offers a new solution. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, it will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture. Annie Grace brilliantly weaves psychological, neurological, cultural, social and industry factors with her extraordinarily candid journey resulting in a must read for anyone who drinks.

This book, without scare tactics, pain or rules, gives you freedom from alcohol. By addressing causes rather than symptoms it is a permanent solution rather than lifetime struggle. It removes the psychological dependence allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). Annie’s clarity, humor and unique ability to blend original research with riveting storytelling ensures you will thoroughly enjoy the process.

In a world defined by ‘never enough’ Annie takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of alcohol and specifically the connection between alcohol and pleasure. She dispels the cultural myth that alcohol is a vital part of life and demonstrates how regaining control over alcohol is not only essential to personal happiness and fulfilment but also to ending the heartache experienced by millions as a result of second-hand drinking.

Finally, with perfect clarity, this book opens the door to the life you have been waiting for.

Recognised as one of the best books on the subject of addiction, it is a cornerstone for those in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, integrating body, spirit, and mind into the recovery process. For fans of William Porter (Alcohol Explained), Catherine Gray (The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober), Allen Carr (Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking) and Sober On A Drunk Planet (Sober On A Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol) and Clare Pooley (The People on Platform 5)

this has changed my whole life

there are no words yet but when I am ready I will. what freedom there is in this book.

Excellent

Excellent. I got exactly the information I needed to confirm that I have made the right decision to quit as well as continue. I feel like I have the tools to go forth FREE

Good but a bit repetitive

Good book, great performance, but a bit repetitive and lacking structure. Also a bit too emotional, overly dramatic and scarce on the facts.

Highly recommend it

If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol, this book is a must listen. There are so many truths in this book, it really opened my eyes. I now look at the world of alcohol with different eyes. Annie has given me the power to stop drinking alcohol without judgement of my friends and family that still do.

I also love a book that is narrated by the author and this book is well delivered.

Game changer

I’ve been struggling for years trying to stop my daily habit of wine. Quitting always a struggle and never able to maintain it for more then a few weeks with 5-o’clock cravings.
Since starting this book I’ve stopped drinking, don’t have any cravings and really enjoying being alcohol free for a few weeks now. Waiting to see how long it lasts, but so far so good.
She talks really fast in the beginning but otherwise liked the narration.

very useful and worthwhile

I enjoyed listening and it helps provide a few tools to kick alcohol.

easy to listen to.

Free :-) Thank you!

What a wonderful contribution to humanity. No judgement, No stigma. Just freedom from alcohol. I didn't even make it to the end of the book before quitting seven months ago and feel such joy in my new life. Thank you, thank you. Annie's compassion is, what I think, makes all the difference. I love that she narrated the book herself, because you can hear how much she cares. Highly recommended.

Finally I have quit drinking! Highly recommended.

This book finally changed my mind through the liminal messages for the concious / sub-conscious mind and the naked facts on alcohol, I realized that alcohol creates it’s own craving and genuinely does not enhance my life or events, but simply creates a fog. I like Annie’s approach dont stop while listening/reading but become fully aware each time you do drink before / after. I do feel absolutely better without it and it is indeed a cancer causing poison! I dont have to plan around it, I can drive, I can do so much more! I have focus and clarity. I have so much more free time to enjoy life. Thank you Annie!

Just what I needed

Great book to read after reading Alcohol lied to me. Just what I needed to hear. Easy to listen to, never a dull chapter. Now it's up to me to kill the alcohol monster. Thank you Annie.
