Let me know what you think when you get done! As mentioned in another post, it can be pretty repetitive but that is on purpose and explained by the author, and I think necessary. After so many years of belief in something it is important to really keep hearing/reading the new message over again in order to finally get there. Happy reading!

Amen.
Not spending a ton of money on booze is another really good reason to quit.
If I want to buy myself a treat I measure it in lunchtime or day long boozing costs.
An interesting book? Less than a lunchtime.!
A new shirt? A couple of days boozing!
And I have something to read or wear and not just some empty bottles and a sore stomach.

I just finished āThis Naked Mindā and really enjoyed it. I really am starting to think about alcohol in a way I never did before. Sure, we all know its really poison, but I didnāt realize the ways that we are conditioned to think that alcohol is making things better - and believing those lies.

I finished āThis Naked Mindā and now my wife, who is a very light, only occasional wine drinker, is reading it and wants to just make healthier choices. She is enjoying it as well.

Hey Charlie- so what do you think, did the ideas in there help to put a different spin on things for you? This weekend had me longing for a bottle of wine with our winter storm by the fire, but just thinking of how that really wasnāt a ārelaxing treatā anymore really moved the thought through me quickly. I felt a loss of an old friend for a bit but felt good about my decision in the end. I love waking up with my day ahead of me.

Jazzr- I havenāt been on the forum in awhile but just read your post. This was awesome to read! I am only 70 days in but the words of this book stick with me still and shape my decision to not drink every day. I hope you have the same experience and I am so glad you got something out of it
there is a book club thread on here and weāre going to discuss This Naked Mind sometime in April
