For Eric, social drinking was at the center of his life. Whether he was hosting cultural meals or tailgating for football games, the menu included whatever booze fit the scene. This was Eric’s life for many years until he realized he wanted more.
When Eric started searching for answers the discovery of This Naked Mind and a community of support helped him escape the guilt he felt from all his recurring “day ones” and finally discover the creativity, health and freedom that he had been longing for.

If you find yourself going down a shame spiral or feeling completely embarrassed about your drinking escapades of the past, this reader's question is for you.

Hi, it's Annie Grace. I wanted to interrupt this podcast, I guess the end of this podcast, to say that if you are totally serious about actually truly and forevermore transforming your relationship with alcohol, really leaving it behind in the rear view mirror for once and forever more, and changing your psychology about it, we have a program called The PATH that is created specifically for you. Now it's not for you if you are still dabbling or still trying to figure out where you want to be or maybe even still want to moderate.
All those things are fine, but if you are beyond that and you're like, "No, I just want to be done with this. I'm ready to invest some time and I'm ready to just make this happen." I want you to check out nakedmindpath.com, and join us in The PATH where you can truly make this lasting change you want in your life.

For Charlotta alcohol was her place to hide. To hide from her emotions, to hide her drinking from those she loved and to hide from herself.
She found solace from this lonely place after discovering that a good friend had given up drinking. Curiosity took over for Charlotta and through the discovery of This Naked Mind and The PATH she was able to stop hiding and instead join a non judgemental, compassionate community that offered a hand in helping her give up drinking once and for all.

Angele's story starts out like many of ours where alcohol was in the house and easily accessible growing up. But her early-in-life encounter led her down a path of inward discovery where she attempted to explain why her emotional experience with alcohol was much different than her drinking friends.
Annie and Angele discuss these emotions and the constant 'whisper' from within that helped Angele find freedom from the negative impacts of drinking and get back on her destined life path.
