Summary

The PATH: 365 is This Naked Mind’s revolutionary membership program designed to make alcohol small and insignificant in our members' lives. One of the most valuable resources within the program is a monthly group coaching call with This Naked Mind founder Annie Grace. This podcast offers a sneak peek inside this call while tackling a question about the wide range of emotions accompanying this journey. You might be able to relate to feeling hopeful and motivated one day as a non-drinker, only to wake the next day wondering why do I feel sad when I don't drink alcohol? Annie Grace shares the insight on the beliefs that cause these feelings, the science behind these thoughts and emotions, and actionable steps you can take to continue your journey as a non-drinker.
