    About this audiobook

    Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life ‘Brilliant’ – Stella Duffy

    Millions of people worry that drinking is affecting their health, yet are unwilling to seek change because of the misery and stigma associated with alcoholism and recovery. They fear drinking less will be boring, difficult and involve deprivation, and significant lifestyle changes.

    This Naked Mind offers a new solution. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, it will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture. Annie Grace brilliantly weaves psychological, neurological, cultural, social and industry factors with her extraordinarily candid journey resulting in a must read for anyone who drinks.

    This book, without scare tactics, pain or rules, gives you freedom from alcohol. By addressing causes rather than symptoms it is a permanent solution rather than lifetime struggle. It removes the psychological dependence allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). Annie’s clarity, humor and unique ability to blend original research with riveting storytelling ensures you will thoroughly enjoy the process.

    In a world defined by ‘never enough’ Annie takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of alcohol and specifically the connection between alcohol and pleasure. She dispels the cultural myth that alcohol is a vital part of life and demonstrates how regaining control over alcohol is not only essential to personal happiness and fulfilment but also to ending the heartache experienced by millions as a result of second-hand drinking.

    Finally, with perfect clarity, this book opens the door to the life you have been waiting for.

    Recognised as one of the best books on the subject of addiction, it is a cornerstone for those in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, integrating body, spirit, and mind into the recovery process. For fans of William Porter (Alcohol Explained), Catherine Gray (The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober), Allen Carr (Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking) and Sober On A Drunk Planet (Sober On A Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol) and Clare Pooley (The People on Platform 5)

      Being Sober Curious

      Feb 4, 2022

      ■ I was relieved to see your article about the sober-curious movement (YOU, 27 January). I drank alcohol for most of my life and then I stopped, just like that. I got sober because I did not want to allow the drink to poison me and change me anymore.

      By the time I finished this book I no longer wanted to drink at all. Completely changed my mindset. Looking forward to the years ahead free of that burden.

      An interesting look at the ways alcohol changes your brain. It gets very repetitive, but there are helpful points, especially if you’re trying to understand the addiction of a loved one.

      Easy to understand and very well constructed. Really helps to overcome the psychological barrier that prevents us to quit drinking alcohol.
    • 2/5
      Very weak science... (no doubt can help some light alcoholics)
    • 5/5
      Love the way this book helps you see alcohol with a different perspective. Truly effective
    • 3/5
      There are some new and really interesting things in this book, such as the impact of alcohol and cancer. The reason I only gave it three stars is I found it a preachy and I got a bit fed up with her saying what a fab time she was having since being teetotal. Nothing wrong with that in itself but as everything else was backed up and referenced by scientific study, I wanted something a bit more objective and substantial.
