Reddit reviews This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life

Same. It was super easy for ME to go vegan, but I cringe when I hear people slam the idea that it's hard, because for a lot of people, it is. I'm finishing up This Naked Mind, which delves into the deep culture of drinking that stigmatizes not drinking, and in it she says several times that when she had to give up eggs for an allergy no one shamed her. The irony here is that if she gave up eggs for ethical reasons, along with other animal products, she would run into the brick wall of cultural conditioning that supports unholy amounts of animal product consumption that is just as bad as alcohol.

Look man, you're among friends here. That first shot or two back is always amazing, and we all know that feeling. No one faults you for any of this, so go easy on yourself. And next time you're looking at the opportunity to do it again, think about how you feel right now. Is the fleeting warmth worth the ensuing days/weeks of anxiety? You don't get one without the other, and at some point that shitty payoff just isn't worth it anymore. Obligatory This Naked Mind referral as well.

Great job! You may be interested in checking out This Naked Mind. It completely changed my perspective on alcohol, especially how it relates to health and wellness. Also, /r/stopdrinking is an amazing community if you are looking for extra support :)

Hi there,

read/listen to Anne Grace's book "This Naked Mind". It will completely change the way you look at alcohol without a struggle. It got me 9 months of sobriety without meetings or much effort. However, I would suggest still going to meetings every once in a while to remind yourself how bad it can get. Even Smart Recovery. Anything alcohol recovery community really. That was my mistake. Not plugging myself in with people who would tell me not to drink when shit got real tough.
