Summary
- how growing up in a remote cabin gave Annie a high tolerance for discomfort
- her experience of finding Jesus, escaping a bad relationship, and attending college
- how Annie’s drinking escalated from work happy hours to alcoholism
- dispelling the myth of addictive personalities and genetic alcoholism
- weighing the cost vs. benefit of drinking
- the trauma from the inner conflict of wanting to stop drinking while continuing to drink
- the change that occurred when Annie stopped asking “what’s wrong with me?” and started asking “what changed?”
- how putting down the weapons of shame and blame and instead investigating the “why” without judgment gave her hope
- how the journey of finding absolute radical grace for yourself will give you a bigger capacity to give grace to others
