Summary

Steve was surrounded by alcohol his entire life. From his childhood through to adulthood, drinking was just a natural part of life. Even after his father went through rehab and joined AA, Steve held onto the belief that only certain people have an issue with alcohol. Steve continued drinking with the frequency ever increasing over the next 20 years until one article sparked a curiosity in him that completely changed his drinking and his belief system. Steve and Annie Grace discuss coming to the realization that alcohol is the problem, the one piece of knowledge that changed his drinking forever, dismantling the lies alcohol tells you, and so much more!

0:39.4	Because before this naked mind made its impact on me, my life was heading in the exact
0:42.9	same direction as his.
0:44.9	So as a kid growing up about an hour west of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, I'd see my dad
0:50.5	drink beer every night.
0:52.8	He'd come home from work after a long day of work.
