Even in his early childhood Lance felt as if something was wrong with him. That feeling caused anxiety, depression and unease to accompany him. His first drink brought euphoria and disappointment when he couldn’t find a way to regain that feeling.

Lance joins Annie Grace to discuss the ups and downs of a 20-year drinking career, what it’s like to quit drinking in the gay community, using alcohol and weed to self-medicate, and so many other topics that often come up for those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

We get questions about it from readers and listeners all of the time. It’s so hard to work every day in a field where you are not only exposed to your triggers but also handling them and often being offered them. In this podcast, Annie Grace offers hope and valuable tips for those committed to staying sober in the service industry.

And some of it seems really uneven. It’s simultaneous attempting to speak to people who wake up and need to drink and people who have been heavily drinking for about a year. These are not often the same people.

The Alcohol Experiment: How to Take Control of Your Drinking

It has virtually nothing to say to an athlete, an extrovert, someone who has hobbies, etc. It also participates strongly in diet culture and how wonderful you feel now that you can finally lose weight and get in shape. Especially for the last third, it seems like she’s run out of ideas. Several of the chapters feel trite and don’t give real advice (you know who ELSE was bored?? aLbErT eInStEiN!!). There’s a whole day devoted to not believing everything you see on social media which seems pitched at the level of a boomer who is just becoming familiar with Facebook. Welcome to a vitally important episode of the This Naked Mind podcast. You're getting an exclusive front row seat inside The PATH:365 today. Only members of The PATH:365, gain access to monthly group coaching calls led by Annie Grace herself. These calls are an opportunity to delve deep into the science behind our drinking, gain valuable insights, receive expert advice, and tap into real-world experiences, all centered around the pursuit of an alcohol-free life. In today's session, one member poses a crucial question: "How can I start controlling my critical inner voice?" Can you quit drinking without counting days? Is that even a thing? The idea of not counting days seems foreign to what most of us traditionally know when it comes to stopping drinking. Annie shares on her experience when quitting drinking and also dives into what the best way to approach counting days is. Making rules for yourself, like no drinking until Thursday, or Friday, or 5pm, or maybe noon during this Coronavirus… and breaking every rule.You follow up every challenging situation with, “At least I have my wine” or “I could really use a drink”. We all have different paths that lead us to find freedom from alcohol. Here at This Naked Mind we truly believe there is no one right way to change your relationship with alcohol. It’s why we offer so many resources ourselves from the free Alcohol Experiment to books, podcasts, and the PATH. Our coaches have their own roads to freedom as well and a reader would like to know if Scott Pinyard changed because of This Naked Mind. Listen to find out! Today, Jessica joins Annie Grace for a special Naked Life episode. Jessica didn’t initially find freedom from alcohol through This Naked Mind. When Jessica found herself battling alcoholic liver disease at 34 years old, she followed the only path she knew and sought out treatment facilities and 12 step programs to find control over alcohol. Fate stepped in when Jessica and Annie Grace crossed paths on Red Table Talk. For the first time Jessica realized there were 12 step alternatives and that she didn’t have to follow a program to stay free from alcohol. Annie and Jessica discuss how our outward success can contribute to and even hide our drinking issues, the serious health risks that are showing up in women from alcohol use, and they take a deep dive into the conflicting beliefs and messages we can get from 12 step programs and 12 step alternatives.
