The first step in changing your relationship with alcohol is to stop trying to stop drinking. Wait. What? It\\u2019s counterintuitive. It\\u2019s controversial. It\\u2019s what makes This Naked Mind - the book, the methodology, everything - so different from anything else. There\\u2019s a very good reason we do things this way. So, take a breath, let yourself off the hook, and listen as Annie Grace busts the myths and clarifies what exactly she means when she says, \\u201cStop trying to stop drinking.\\u201d

If you asked me about the one thing that makes This Naked Mind so different from anything else, I would have to say emotion. It is the emotion when people feel really ready to make a change, when they\\u2019ve had that mindset shift, when they\\u2019ve gone through all the materials and the methodology and they get this feeling that it\\u2019s not that they never get to drink again it\'s that they never have to drink again. And, interestingly, according to all sorts of new research, it is emotion, especially positive emotion, more than anything else that predicates how long a change will stick, how long it will last. It is emotion. When you feel excited about a change in your life. When you feel thrilled you\\u2019re making this new difference, instead of feeling deprived like you\\u2019re missing out, everything changes. And it really makes it that This Naked Mind can stick for the long term. If you want to know more about how to truly change your emotion around drinking, I want you to join me at nakedmindpath.com. It is the path to changing your emotion and changing your feelings and really finding freedom in your relationship with alcohol.\\xa0
