Annie Grace answers a phenomenal question today. A reader asks, \\u201cNow that I know the truth about alcohol, how do I not force it on others who are doing the same thing I was?\\u201d When you have removed alcohol from your life and learned so much from your experience and you\\u2019re watching people you love continue doing something that\\u2019s harmful to them, how do you reconcile those things? What can you do to get people to take your advice?\\xa0

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
