This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness, and Change Your Life
by Annie Grace
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.

Kim’s Review – Annie knows what she’s talking about! There is absolutely a stigma around drinking. It’s almost like there is a peer pressure to do it. And in the miserable marriage I was stuck in…alcohol was my crutch. My way to numb out. My strategy to stop feeling the pain. I wish I would have found a more productive solution now that I know what was going on! I have not stopped drinking entirely, but I rarely do it anymore. And I don’t feel guilty about it, either. This book really helped me find the strength to get my health back.
I’ll take my mind…naked – ★★★★★
