Rewriting the Narrative: Annie Grace's Revolution in the Battle against Alcohol Addiction Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

Prepare to be captivated by Annie Grace's extraordinary journey, a story that defies conventional norms and leads to the ultimate victory for her and for others.

At just 26 years old, Annie became the youngest Vice President in the history of a multinational company. But as her professional success soared, her drinking career took off with equal intensity. By the time she reached 35, Annie held a powerful global C-level marketing role, overseeing a staggering 28 countries. Yet, beneath the polished surface, a hidden battle raged.

Night after night, Annie found solace in consuming nearly two bottles of wine, a ritual that brought temporary relief but took an ever-increasing toll. The price of her achievements became evident, and she no longer wanted to pay it. She made a courageous and life changing decision: alcohol would no longer control her destiny.

Annie embarked on a remarkable journey of personal transformation. She completely revamped her relationship with alcohol, stripping it of its power and challenging her beliefs about its allure as a reward. Today, she stands as a guiding light, helping countless individuals around the globe follow in her footsteps.

Annie's approach transcends the limitations of traditional rehab methods. She has forged an entirely new way of perceiving the role of alcohol in our lives, creating a safe haven for those who question their drinking patterns without having to self-diagnose as alcoholics trapped in denial of an incurable disease. Through compassion and empathy, Annie understands that these emotions wield unparalleled strength over shame and blame, paving the way for lasting change.

Annie offers a proven alternative to the prevailing notion of "success" in overcoming this addiction. Rejecting the belief that anything less than 100% abstinence equals failure, she guides individuals not on how to be sober, but on how to extinguish the desire to drink altogether. Her approach revolutionizes the landscape, providing a fresh perspective and transforming lives.

Gerald Posner Author Way Ahead of the Curve on Fentanyl Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

"A merciless pit bull of an investigator" is what the Chicago Tribune said about Gerald Posner, a former attorney turned investigative journalist and author. He has written thirteen acclaimed books, including New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestsellers Case Closed, Why America Slept and God's Bankers. Posner was a finalist for the Pulitzer in History for Case Closed. He has also written dozens of articles and opinion pieces for leading national magazines and newspapers and is currently a contributor to Forbes, as well as reporting on a wide variety of topics in Just the Facts, his Substack. His latest book PHARMA: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America (2020) won the Florida Best General Nonfiction Award and was shortlisted for Best Business Book by the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing. The New York Times said PHARMA was "a withering and encyclopedic indictment of a drug industry that often seems to prioritize profits over patients…[it] reads like a pharmaceutical version of cops and robbers."

Gerald's wife, author Patricia Posner, works with him on all projects.

Diane Urban APALD Educating Parents on Fentanyl Poisoning Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

I founded APALD-Association of People Against Lethal Drugs as a result of losing my son Jordan Garmatter to Illicit Fentanyl on 4/6/19.
My son suffered from Substance Use Disorder. He was drug free for 8 months when he developed a wisdom tooth growing in the wrong way. His face was swollen and in pain. He worked part time and only had Medicaid insurance so he couldn't get in to a dentist for two weeks out. Jordan continued to work with this extreme pain but with one week left to see the dentist he made the mistake to go get Drugs to relieve his pain. But what he got was almost 100% Fentanyl. Enough to kill 8 people in his system. My son didn't ask for Fentanyl. The drug dealer made that choice to give him that and didn't tell him it was Fentanyl.
So when I got the toxicology report and found out it was Fentanyl that killed him I got very angry as I looked it up and discovered it came from China then to Mexico and across our borders. So I thought to myself, I have to do something! So I founded APALD.
Since founding APALD we have had two national rallies. We are getting set for our 3rd Annual APALD Nationwide Rallies on May 6th.
Our message is to bring awareness to Illicit Fentanyl which is the leading cause of death in America ages 18-45. These Fentanyl Poisonings must stop. We are losing a whole generation to this Lethal drug.
