    Just got the Annie Grace daily message (author of This Naked Mind) ; today's email spoke of how to view socializing at parties with people who are drinking. She says reframe your thoughts.

    This is so true, the negitive thoughts that come and fill your mind days after a good time are terrible. Im appreciating this thread a lot more. Lots of positive vibes coming in and is very much needed .

    I bought this book, but haven't read it yet. I did read Allen Carr's How To Stop Drinking Now. How do you get on the email list for Annie Grace? Do you have to pay to join her website?

    Thanks for sharing!

    I went to her website this naked mind and signed up to get the free first 40 pages of her book. *I belive that's how I got her book sample. And then her daily emails.
    P.s. I emailed her twice telling her my progress, and each time someone on her staff replied to my email.
    I didn't pay for anything or join her program. The email is enough and her book:)

    From Annie Grace's email message:

    This is great. Last night as I was preparing a good dinner for me and m husband, I thought about the comments on here about viewing a dry evening as a treat to yourself rather than a challenge or a negative thing. I made myself a decaf vanilla latte and enjoyed it while I cooked. I was in bed by 10:30, completely alcohol free. This morning I was up at 6AM to get ready for run group, clear mind and feeling good. Again, Thank you guys so much!

    Every road has bumps. You recognize the problem which is way beyond where some people are at right now. I raise a cuppa to you.

    @islandbeez - don't obsess and just move on. I say this as a person who spends way too much time beating herself upl You should be wearing out your arm patting yourself on the back for all your success, including that phenomenal weight loss. WTG!
