Ive been doing this as a project with alcohol and sugar combined bcuz once l stopped with alcohol, l didnt realize l had gotten worse with processed sugar as a substitute. Now that has to go too. Its a simple task but hard as h--ll to do. Ive been getting through it though. You must examine those feelings that pop up right then. When u properly understand them thats when u win. 💪

I can relate. When I cut back I hear a voice "Oh yeah, who's the boss here!" I 🙏 for that epiphany. I have a metaphorical POISON bucket. In it now are cigarettes, sugar and carbs, any and all street drugs... No temptation more like revulsion. 🍻 is my next target. 💪🙏

Can’t afford the program . Not much $$$

Yup!...Your subconscious will take in and believe whatever you constantly tell it. It loves repetition You must change your identity not just stop the action. You must identify as a non-drinker so ur subconscious will look for ways to become that and then u can align it with your conscious. You must "become" the thing you "desire"...That AA doesnt really work in the long run although they mean well 😊

Was sie sagt stimmt sicher . Aber warum so hyperaktiv? Ich bevorzuge die ruhige Art von Annie Grace.

Omg this holds so true for me..

I still feel guilt from my drunken alcoholic nights, and the people i hurt. Moving toward showing myself grace, and enjoying living without alcohol.

"mental real estate", I love that. This makes so much more sense than anything I've seen. Thank You 😊

Why does some people able to drink more alcohol and never get sick and others get sick more often I have a pattern of getting sick 50% of the time. Not sure why if I drink the same amount of alcohol next time I don't get sick.

Can the Naked Mind book relate to using food like people drink alcohol? I can take or leave alcohol but food has been my go to for numbing out and avoiding strong emotions

Oh, wow, now I know why your net worth is at 4 million dollars at this point. Naltrexone does not work well, or at all. But you are going to give a platform to someone trying to sell it, who will obviously reimburse you for having given them your podcast platform. Naltrexone does not help a true alcoholic, one who inherited the disease from one of their parents, etc.

I'm not n I don't, n I'm not

I thought she was talking about water until she mentioned alcohol First time I drank alcohol, enough to be Tipsy a little but not drunk, gave me a feeling and realization that my Heavy Depression just suddenly faded, its gone, it felt nice to be happy for once and not depressed But I was also aware, how terrifying that feeling was, and another reason how someone can get addicted to something like that, but I cherish my liver and my life I guess and unfortunately would rather stay depressed and have dark thoughts about myself than get stuck to constantly drinking my sorrows away only for it to get worse down the road Its a interesting fun experience, that said.. drink responsibly and excerise caution and drink water and eat before drinking, be mindful of others and your surroundings and yourself, I personally wouldn't drink again. Interesting video I will say.

What a great video and information 🎉

I have bad anxiety now from drink not even in the morning yet😢

Crying my eyes out!! So beautiful 😢❤😊

Today is 4 months of me being Alcohol Free. I've tried to stop many times but always failed. The difference, this time, is that I have been drinking AF beer. I deliberately chose beer that resembled my favourite normal beers. These are (UK based) Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% and Proper Job 0.5%. But 0.5% isn't AF? True but it's about the same as a ripe banana or a slice of rye bread, that's AF enough for me. I honestly believe these alcohol free beers will save my life. Thanks for the video.

It’s the exhaustion feeling for me like I'm running out of breath ugh 😖 I can’t do it.

I drank more when I was bored in company. So I avoid boring company now.

AHHHH WHY ARE YOU USING A METAL FORK IN A NONSTICK PAN?!?! The advice is solid though man

I am a learning how to live without alcohol and she is incredible in her advice please if you are suffering from abuse of alcohol know that there is help out there!!! I’ve suffered 25 years and now I’m 45 days clean, there are over 8000 people out there on day one, and that’s all it takes is one day at a time!!

If you fail are you allowed to try again

Can u just sayi it

I love this! Do you journal while you’re out or after it !

Mam what do you say about this study?

Absolutely great information Scott! I am in the June 2024 path and when I did step 57 liberation versus fixation in July I couldn't really get a grasp on it or clearly understand it, but with this video you made me understand it totally :-) I think I'm going to go go back and re listen to this lesson with more notes. Thank you Scott for making this more clear in my head. And thank you Annie for making all this possible :-) you and your coaches are truly amazing, and life-saving.

Thanks Annie 👌👌

Hello 😅

Annie you Fn legend. Hello from Galway 🇮🇪

In studying this for myself and loved ones some things I'd suggest are journaling how you feel, what situation are you in or did you have an experience that triggered the knee jerk reaction to drink. You will see a pattern. Example, you may desire to drink or drink more around certain people. Either they are heavy drinkers, that is the glue holding that relationship together or deep down they really aren't your tribe and so u drink to mask the discomfort. Talk to your Dr about naltrexone, you can have a drink and not meet that pleasure receptor. It's not only used for drugs & alcohol but for OCD. Look here on YT, there are folks who educate themselves on holistic ways to repair your body and supplements to take that can help shave the edge off of cravings. Milk thistle is good for repaing the liver & Kudzu has been very helpful for people who are addicted. Research to make sure no interactions with medications. If you are able, eat as healthy as possible & exercise, the better I feel the less desire I have to have a drink or only have a beer and actually feel content. Lastly, if you are faith based I'd highly suggest prayer and fasting. Even if it sunrise to sunset and drink water & herbal tea. Some strongholds are only broken by prayer and fasting. If you are not in a place to do this yourself connect with a friend or family member who is able to pray and fast for you. As long as you get back up, no matter how many times you fall, you will eventually reach the finish line! Never give up your hope for sobriety!

I am switching from wine to Kava. I hear his is a good substitute.

Is this like AA?

Need your helpp

Thank you!!

Great explanation just discovered your books ! Thank you for all your work

❤

45 days sober Thank you for this video

I drink maybe 4 times a year and this delayed hangover happens. I think its mostly genetics.

Very well said. Thanks for a different perspective on this

I contacted you a long time ago after reading your book. After a few tries, I just said, let's go one month without booze. When that month was over, I tried another two months. Those two months became two years. And I will do everything I can to make those two years my entire life. After reading your book a few times, I can't really look at alcohol the same way anymore. To me, it's just flavored gasoline that makes you really depressed, lazy, difficult, and angry. That's why people have to work so hard to put it in beautiful bottles.

Same here. Come from a long line of alcoholics. At 92, my father is still drinking and a diabetic! The worst part is it’s LEGAL! Annie Grace saved my life. God bless her ❤

You look gorgeous with those glasses 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great episode! Nice job, my friend Jane! 💜

I've followed you for a while and just found your channel. I have referenced your article on Linked-in for a recent video about alcohol fatigue which is something I've always struggled with. Thanks for all you do and have done to help me decide to change my identity to that of a 'Non-Drinker"!😘

The Sinclair method saved my life!

Its really difficult when my partner drinks and I dont, hes on another (annoying, sloppy) wavelength and so I find it difficult to feel that sense of companionship. When hes on a tipsy vibe, i cant be in the same room or have a decent conversation...its tough.❤

Just came to this after doing 2 weeks without a drink and feel like I self destruct when drunk. Lot of it relates to military deployments and not feeling like I should have a happy life. Started therapy and dealing with PTSD and accepting that I should be able to have a good life.

Can hear you..❤

The short answer is to tell them that you are in therapy that follows the disease model of alcohol treatment. Hate the sin not the sinner.

This is an amazing video.
