Hello everyone. I just finished The Naked Mind by Annie Grace. Has anyone read or listened to her podcast? I loved learning about the bio-chemical reaction the body has when becoming sober. It’s a real fight that I know we all can win!!!

Yeap. Read that, if you like that way of thinking, look into Allen Carr, Jason Vale, Hip Sobriety, The Temper, Laura Mckeown and the Home podcast.

Sorry…
The book and author have created quite a few heated debates in the past. Always an interesting watch… Hence the popcorn

Oh really?
That’s a shame.
Do people not respect other’s viewpoints or methods or modalities in this forum?

Well, there are lots of people here, so you will get differing opinions on any number of things.

Her ‘30 day experiment’ was extremely useful to me.

Yeah.
I suppose.
It’s just odd to have debates where people are actually getting heated about different methods of trying to get sober.
If one method doesn’t work, try another or another. No one way will work for everyone…
I think it’s important to respect all the ways. As long as it gets people to sobriety I’m for it, whatever that means.
If that’s AA or NA or Refuge or SMART or Annie Grace.

I found the book useful - I make use of as many resources as I can, which includes a range of books, meetings, podcasts/speakers, etc.

I also like the book.
The 30 day experiment is free, and u get a daily video and questions to answer. I found it very useful. It was my first ‘quit lit’ so much was new and exciting. I am now doing the 100 days of lasting change, which is, mmm, ok, and cost 100 dollars, I think. She now has many intensive and expensive courses, I guess now she needs a team, she has to pay wages, overheads, etc. But people with a problem with alcohol often don’t have much money, and the idea she is making a lot of money from this is distasteful. I wonder exactly what her profit is.

I am really excited for Holly Whittaker and Laura Mckeown’s respective books.
The Home podcast helped me so very much. I love those two.

Was a big fan of Hip Sobriety.

It’s only that she also offers very expensive online courses. I’m one of the ones that finds that a bit shifty or snake oil-y.
I did try reading her book…I didn’t like it. But I think I just don’t like her personality. I’m not sure what it is though. I just don’t like Annie Grace. BUT. I’ve seen so many people here learn so much from her and gain so much that I won’t knock her.
My favourite book was Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol by Ann Dowsett Johnston.

I agree we shouldn’t limit our resources on knowledge. I am open to anything that can keep me sober. I am drowning myself in information including this site. Knowledge is leading me to abstinence. Keep it coming!!!

Thus the reason this sometimes turns up
In to a car crash.
I signed up for the thirty day thing but didn’t do through with it but then again alcohol is not my drug of choice. If it helps people then that’s all good.
