What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at work events, lunches, book clubs and weddings. Yet no one ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. In fact, the only thing ever questions is why people don't drink. It is a qualifier for belonging. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. It is anything but. When Holly Whitaker started to look for a way to recover, the support systems she found for recovery where archaic and patriarchal.

I understand how it feels to be worried about your drinking because for nearly 20 years I struggled with my own problem. I tried everything to stop drinking alcohol, from creating silly rules about what I was "allowed" to drink to going through torturous "dry months" and taking dangerous prescription-only medication!

Summary
Millions of people worry that drinking is affecting their health, yet are unwilling to seek change because of the misery and stigma associated with alcoholism and recovery. They fear drinking less will be boring, difficult and involve deprivation, and significant lifestyle changes.
This Naked Mind offers a new solution. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, it will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture. Annie Grace brilliantly weaves psychological, neurological, cultural, social and industry factors with her extraordinarily candid journey resulting in a must-listen for anyone who drinks.
This audiobook, without scare tactics, pain or rules, gives you freedom from alcohol. By addressing causes rather than symptoms it is a permanent solution rather than lifetime struggle. It removes the psychological dependence allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). Annie's clarity, humour and unique ability to blend original research with riveting storytelling ensures you will thoroughly enjoy the process.
In a world defined by 'never enough', Annie takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of alcohol and specifically the connection between alcohol and pleasure. She dispels the cultural myth that alcohol is a vital part of life and demonstrates how regaining control over alcohol is not only essential to personal happiness and fulfilment but also to ending the heartache experienced by millions as a result of second-hand drinking.
Finally, with perfect clarity, this book opens the door to the life you have been waiting for.

Changed me, didn't even know I needed to change.
I downloaded this, my first audible book, because it appeared on a feed on amazon, after I had drank to much yet again on a Friday night, I was bored of this and wanted to give me some tools to make better choices, well, I got better than that.
This book made so much sense I stopped drinking, the book made me questioned why I took this drug, so I stopped. It's like someone told me a something that I didn't know that made so much sense, and now I know I see it from a completely different angle, so why would I do that to me and take this drug that does nothing for me.
POWERFUL STUFF if you are the weekend drinking type, and bored of loosing the next day from tiredness, like me, hopefully this will help.

This is basically a reworded version of Alan Carr’s book..
Wow well that was a shame...
I read Allan Carr’s Easy way first and then this, and it’s almost a complete copy, the analogies, metaphors, layout, even the process is exactly the same.
I can’t be the only one that’s noticed this right?
It reinforces what is highlighted in “The Easy Way” so in that respect it wasn’t a complete waste of money, but if I had paid full price I would’ve been particularly annoyed..
I guess as the saying goes, there is nothing new in this world just rehashed versions of old ideas..
Save your money, either buy this or Allen Carr’s, not both.... you choose

Promotes ABSTENTION, not CONTROL!
Many have praised this book and with good reason. It’s well researched on the negative impact of drinking, both physically and mentally, so there is a lot about the book that is interesting and illuminating. It's also good at unpicking the failings of Alcoholics Anonymous, and I liked its positivity about living alcohol free.
Unfortunately for me it didn’t deliver as a whole. Firstly, I feel that the title is misleading; ‘control alcohol’ suggests it’s going to help a drinker to moderate intake, but in the end the author advocates giving alcohol up altogether. Because I came to the book as someone who drinks a bit too much but not way too much, hoping it might help reduce my intake from around 25 units a week to 14, I found this irksome. I didn't want to give up drinking and I still don't. Half way through This Naked Mind I realised I was reading a book where the content didn’t match the way it was pitched. Like Annie Grace, I am a writer and for many years worked in marketing, and whilst I can appreciate ‘control alcohol’ will appeal to a broader readership than a ‘give up alcohol’ message, I came away feeling I had been misled.
I also found it jarring that the author describes herself as ‘a moderate drinker’ but says she was drinking ‘two bottles of wine a night’ prior to stopping, which isn’t my definition of ‘moderate’ - far from it! Nor was I convinced that she is a hoot sober. Grace may well be great company and funny (she claims to be both), but here perhaps the book might have benefited from more ‘show’ and less ‘tell’ - as it stands the writing isn't witty. In particular there is no irony and as a Brit I longed for some.
Perhaps most crucially of all, I was not persuaded by the notion of ‘cognitive dissonance’ as a motivation for abstention. As I understand it, the argument is that we are mentally distraught because we know alcohol has many negative effects overall, yet we are still drawn to drinking because we are conditioned to do so. I don’t disagree that western society heavily promotes drink, and I agree that we drink because we believe it is going to relax us and make us feel sexy, witty etc. However for many individuals the relationship with alcohol (as with other drugs) is very complex; it’s frequently used to numb anxiety, depression, grief and so on, and giving up may leave us very exposed other fronts. Being 'naked' all the time mentally is not that easy. Grace touches on these motivations but only lightly, whereas in my experience key to overcoming dependence is tackling these issues too. I’ve lost a partner to alcohol - he could not overcome these demons - and I can’t see that the cognitive dissonance argument is one that would have helped him to stop.
Furthermore, whilst perhaps there is something I failed to grasp, I believe living with cognitive dissonance is part of life. Uncertainty, ambiguity and conflicting responses to people, circumstances, experiences - in fact just about everything - are inevitable - not everything can be ironed out to resolve any sense of incoherence or discomfort. Otherwise it strikes me that we end up with a very black and white world, where anything that doesn’t make sense cognitively is ‘wrong’. Accepting conflicting parts of ourselves seems healthier and more pragmatic; I accept I have conflicting feelings about alcohol, just as I accept that I have conflicting emotions about my mother, my desire for chocolate and pros and cons of driving a car. I even have conflicting feelings about this book - part of me wants to give it 4 stars, part of me 2, so I’ve ended up with a compromise and given it 3!

Blatant copy of Allen Carr's Easyway
Great book, it helped me stop drinking, but how the author managed to so blatantly copy Allen Carr's book is beyond me. She even copies his anecdotes, his phrasing, the structure of his book. I mean, she's fleshed his book out, which is fab, but she's completely shameless in her plagiarism!

Unconscious conditioning
Annie just hits the nail on the head.
I have listened to this book whilst partaking in Sober October and am truly amazed by the influence this book has had on me. Annie really does change the way that you view alcohol to the point where you just don't want to drink anymore.
This book in conjunction with Alcohol Lied to me, Craig Beck; has changed my life. I'm so excited about the future and getting my life back.

Great motivation. Lovely listening voice.
I've read some of the reviews and for the people who left negative ones, they really need to get a life. I for one haven't read every single drinking book in the entire world like they have, but I found this book an easy listen. A soft motivational and kind book to help you - not force you, on your way to freedom. Drinking is a sensitive topic and I found this book approached it that way. Helpful, motivational and kind with sprinkles of science to get you thinking. I finished it in 1.5 days, while driving, cooking and working. No mess , no fuss. And I feel good.

Got me sober keeps me sober.
this book gave me freedom from alcohol and from the stigma of the non medical irrational recoverism.
I used to wish I could drink but couldn't because I had a character defect. Now I know the truth: alcohol is an addictive drug and nothing abnormal happened to me.
I became addicted to an addictive drug. Of course!

I’ve been struggling for years trying to stop my daily habit of wine. Quitting always a struggle and never able to maintain it for more then a few weeks with 5-o’clock cravings.
Since starting this book I’ve stopped drinking, don’t have any cravings and really enjoying being alcohol free for a few weeks now. Waiting to see how long it lasts, but so far so good.
She talks really fast in the beginning but otherwise liked the narration.

Finally I have quit drinking! Highly recommended.
This book finally changed my mind through the liminal messages for the concious / sub-conscious mind and the naked facts on alcohol, I realized that alcohol creates it’s own craving and genuinely does not enhance my life or events, but simply creates a fog. I like Annie’s approach dont stop while listening/reading but become fully aware each time you do drink before / after. I do feel absolutely better without it and it is indeed a cancer causing poison! I dont have to plan around it, I can drive, I can do so much more! I have focus and clarity. I have so much more free time to enjoy life. Thank you Annie!

if you have questions about yourself and alcohol
This was a great listen... well structured and presented by Annie herself.
I leant a huge amount and got answers to questions I didn't know I had. This turns the alcohol-business and social norms on its head, in a logical and fact based analysis. I didn't agree with all of Annie's points, and that leaves me further room to explore.
I would say if you are looking for a watershed book in terms of lifestyle, and you have ever questioned your drinking (big or tiny), this is a must read/listen.

The BEST support you could possibly have!
We are a +3,000 strong alcohol support group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/OYNBPirates/ and we use this book as our main support tool. It's ideal for anyone new to cutting down or giving up on alcohol, which is a journey rather than a one-time event. We can't recommend this book highly enough, Annie Grace is the 'guru' when it comes to this subject!

Highly recommend it
If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol, this book is a must listen. There are so many truths in this book, it really opened my eyes. I now look at the world of alcohol with different eyes. Annie has given me the power to stop drinking alcohol without judgement of my friends and family that still do.
I also love a book that is narrated by the author and this book is well delivered.
