Summary

Many people question the harm of a drink once in a while when they begin their new journey with alcohol. And often the thought of having to stop drinking forever can prevent us from moving in any direction at all.

Join Annie as she presents a pressure-free scenario that will help you make the decision for yourself based on education and curiosity without fear.

Let me ask you a question. What is better than change? Lasting change, of course. 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 100 Days of Lasting Change to ensure that we don't just change for a moment, but we truly transform for a lifetime. 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.

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