I've never had alcohol problems. Or so I thought. If you cannot ease into a social night out with strangers without some drinks, if you committed yourself to "just one beer" and end up going on an absolute bender more than five times in a year, then you've got a problem too. Alcohol is just so omnipresent that it's not perceived like a problem, and only when you crave it on a daily basis is it supposed to be dangerous. Thing is, alchohol is a genuine poison that damages the body in such profound ways that one binge session can have long-lasting consequences. This is not something taught in school, for the teachers and writers of textbooks have their fair share of binges of life. So do your parents and friends and almost everyone. It's the one thing all major religions overlap in: don't drink alcohol. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism: all warn of alcohol. Yet it's the most widely ignored tenet of all believers.
Obviously I'm not a guy of extremes to say never drink or ever get drunk (although. that's very sound advice too), but the permeance of alcohol into the fabric of our every day life is ludcrious. I've no doubt that in some decades people will look back at our generations and be gobsmacked at how we all drank, just as we now look back on smoking.
This Naked Mind provides some truly fascinating insights into how fucked alcohol is.
This Naked Mind has ignited a movement across the country, helping thousands of people forever change their relationship with alcohol.
Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery.
This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science, and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, this book will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture, and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need. With Annie’s own extraordinary and candid personal story at its heart, this book is a must-read for anyone who drinks.
This Naked Mind will give you freedom from alcohol. It removes the psychological dependence so that you will not crave alcohol, allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). With clarity, humor, and a unique blend of science and storytelling, This Naked Mind will open the door to the life you have been waiting for.
