Make sense of your emotions without feeling isolated. Our coaches are highly trained to ensure your success. And then the second one is curiosity. And I think those things go hand in hand, because when you are approaching whatever situation, it is with curiosity, you will awaken possibility. So as an example, if I’m going into a happy hour, and I haven’t, I mean, in my case, I hadn’t been at a happy hour without drinking, except when I was pregnant for like, more than a decade. And I’m walking into this happy hour. And I have this for sure narrative in my head that this is going to be miserable minus will not even be here, what is even the point? I promise it will be miserable. But if I just allow a little bit of curiosity to instead of okay, maybe it won’t, I don’t know that for sure. I haven’t actually done it in a decade, I actually have no idea what it’s like to walk into a happy hour and drink iced tea instead of you know, a martini, I’ve no idea what that experience is like, what might it be? Oh, my goodness, that opens up a whole new realm of possibility and experience. And inevitably, when people do those sorts of experiments on themselves, they walk out of it, and I’m like, Whoa, it wasn’t that bad. Or sometimes it was even fun. Charlotte shares her story of being young and alcohol-free. Many of us wait until decades of drinking and poor decisions lead us to [...] Making rules for yourself, like no drinking until Thursday, or Friday, or 5pm, or maybe noon during this Coronavirus… and breaking every rule. Sometimes you need an extra boost of momentum and encouragement to create lasting, lifelong change. Willpower fades! That is why I’ve created the 100 Days of Lasting Change (key word – lasting!)

Whether you know you want to stop drinking and live an alcohol free life, are sober curious, or are in recovery this podcast is for you. Yeah. And it’s such a spectrum, right? I mean, in terms of alcohol is addictive, and the degree to which it takes control of your life or your thoughts, or you know, your habits, that I think that one of the things that people love about your work is that it’s judgment free. Because once you stopped drinking and get immersed in the world of other people who’ve stopped drinking, you know, we can use language that people don’t understand, or that completely turns them off. And I know I was this way, right? Like, even when we just say, sober, or sobriety or recovery or addiction, or the really, really high barrier term of alcoholic, it can be like, I’m not that or I don’t want that.

Yeah, and I know so many women are familiar with your work but there are also some women who are entirely new to looking at their drinking their questions. They’re drinking or being worried about it. Can you talk a little bit about that third way your approach? As a self-professed former wine enthusiast and author of books delving into the intricate relationship between alcohol and our minds, I've often pondered [...] So, you know, my story just kind of in a nutshell was that I didn’t drink too much in high school or college, you know, here and there and the odd time, but I certainly wasn’t someone who jumped in with both feet. And I think that when you do jump in with both feet, there’s some very specific reasons as to why it’s often involved in just the everyday life for you, as a level of pain in it. And so that first drink by removing pain to some degree, because we do know, alcohol does numb the brain, I mean, it literally makes it harder for you to think it slows down your synapses. And so, what felt like just a racing mind can feel better for a short period of time. But that wasn’t me. And that wasn’t my experience. And now, let’s dive into this very special episode. And I could not think of a more perfect guest for this milestone than Annie Grace. I am truly honored to have her on the show and to share her work. And this first book, This Naked Mind was published just four months before I quit drinking six years ago. So, it was one of the first books I read on this path and helped me so much. Both the book This Naked Mind and Annie’s second book, The Alcohol Experiment, are ones that so many women cite as the intro to shifting their perspective on drinking and one of the tools that really helped them on the path to deciding that alcohol isn’t a substance that’s making their lives better or that they want or need in their lives. When I did a podcast episode on the Best Quit Lit for women, I asked all these women I know to record what books helped them and to tell me why. And This Naked Mind was at the top of the list for many women. One woman said that Annie’s book was a relief, because it opened her eyes to all of this subconscious messaging, telling her that drinking was going to bring her connection and happiness and excitement and love. And another told me that Annie made a huge impact on her life that Annie’s book was the first she’d ever read. And the way any gently and kindly explained about the addictive trap of alcohol, brought tears to her eyes. She said, I always hated myself for being so weak until Annie’s book educated me and started me down the path of where I am now. Annie Grace shares a deeply personal and transformative conversation on this week’s episode with our inspiring guest Linda. Linda shares her remarkable journey of how she overcame alcohol problems and adoptee challenges. Together, Annie and Linda explore the intersections of alcohol issues and adoptee identity, family factors that can influence our drinking, moving beyond the 12-steps and more.
