Summary

Do you ever feel like people want to see you fail? We hear this idea come up often at This Naked Mind. Annie Grace explores what you can do to deal with people who want to see you fail and how using these tips not only changes your perspective but also allows you to better understand them and their fears!

I am so excited to announce our newly recalibrated signature program - The PATH: Freedom Accelerated. This 90-day program is designed to make freedom from alcohol quicker, more accessible, and more affordable than ever before. Imagine if just 90-days from now you discover a new freedom without feeling like you’re hanging onto willpower by your fingernails, without feeling deprived or like you are missing out, and without shame, guilt and blame.

The PATH: Freedom Accelerated provides a guided, almost hypnotic, sequence of content that speaks not only to your conscious mind but also to your subconscious - actually changing your desire for a drink. Plus, you will receive daily accountability and support from our coaches and our community. If you feel like you have lost control of your drinking, there is a solution - One that’s easier than you might think, and doesn’t involve rules, missing out, or deprivation. I would love for you to join us. Go to NakedMindPath.com to learn more.

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.

0:45.4	Can you give me advice on how to be around someone that is waiting for you to fail? They
0:50.9	don't support you or show any support of you not drinking anymore.
0:57.8	This is such a good question. I don't feel like I have quite enough information to completely
1:07.5	answer this because I'm having a hard time like, you know, what do they really want
1:13.1	you to fail? Have you had this conversation with them? Is it that they are, you know,
1:19.6	upset by something, whatever the case is? So with not enough information, I'm going to
