Annie Grace's Transformation: From Corporate Success to Sobriety Advocate
The idea is not to stop drinking, but rather to remove the desire to drink. It's about changing your relationship with alcohol.
Imagine growing up in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity. That's the humble beginning of Annie Grace, who later became a corporate powerhouse and then found herself entangled in a decade-long battle with alcohol. In this episode of 'Beyond the Bars', Annie shares her compelling journey from corporate success to sobriety advocate.
At just 26, she was already a vice president in a multinational company, but her rapid career ascent came with a steep price—an escalating drinking habit that saw her consuming nearly two bottles of wine every night by her mid-30s. But Annie didn’t settle for a life of deprivation and stigma. Instead, she sought a different path to regain control over her life.
She created 'This Naked Mind', a book that aims to change the way people think about alcohol by addressing the subconscious beliefs that drive the desire to drink. Rather than focusing on sheer willpower to quit, Annie’s approach helps people understand and alter their relationship with alcohol, making sobriety not just achievable but also enjoyable.
Annie’s story is more than just an inspiring tale of personal triumph; it’s a roadmap for anyone looking to break free from the grips of addiction. Tune in to hear about her journey, the innovative methods she developed, and how she’s helping others find happiness and balance without alcohol.
