Description
I’m sick of thinking about alcohol! I wonder if I could have fun socializing without it. Do I even enjoy drinking anymore? If any of this struck a nerve with you, you are not alone! These are things I wrestle with and I have just recently started sharing my struggles with this particular topic on the podcast. With the help of Annie Grace and the Alcohol Experiment, I have been exploring my relationship with Alcohol and I can feel a shift in my perspective. In this episode, you’ll hear more about that and about how Annie’s personal journaling transitioned into an excellent resource and free program that could change your life.
WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:
how growing up in a remote cabin gave Annie a high tolerance for discomfort
her experience of finding Jesus, escaping a bad relationship, and attending college
how Annie’s drinking escalated from work happy hours to alcoholism
dispelling the myth of addictive personalities and genetic alcoholism
weighing the cost vs. benefit of drinking
the trauma from the inner conflict of wanting to stop drinking while continuing to drink
the change that occurred when Annie stopped asking “what’s wrong with me?” and started asking “what changed?”
how putting down the weapons of shame and blame and instead investigating the “why” without judgment gave her hope
how the journey of finding absolute radical grace for yourself will give you a bigger capacity to give grace to others
