Summary

In her group of friends, Lorraine was the one who liked to drink the most. But that all changed when she found This Naked Mind. Annie welcomes Lorraine, who seemed to have alcohol coming at her from every direction – almost from birth. From her father, who left at a young age because of his drinking to being raised by grandparents who binge drank, Lorraine’s life was always surrounded by drinking. Find out what finally prompted her to give it up for good.

Let me ask you a question. What is better than change? Lasting change of course. And if you've had trouble making change stick either with alcohol or in any other area of your life, you are in for a treat. I created the a hundred days of lasting change to ensure that we don't just change for a moment, but we truly transform for a lifetime. And this program is so close to my heart. Thousands of people have been through it and their results are incredible, but don't take my word for it. Check it out at thisnakedmind.com/100days.

And as always rate, review and subscribe to this podcast as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
