Summary
What happens when you give up alcohol? How will your life change? Welcome to the Alcohol Experiment.
To most people, the thought of never having a drink again is too daunting to consider, but today's guest tells us that everything we think we thought we knew about alcohol is wrong.
Annie Grace is the author of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life and is the host of a podcast by the same name. She is also the creator of The Alcohol Experiment, which interrupts peoples' patterns around drinking and rewires how we think about alcohol.
Annie tells us what made her first question the powerful hold drinking had over her and shares her journey of self-inquiry and scientific research that ultimately caused her to lose her desire to drink at all.
