Annie Grace's Path: From Alcohol to Recovery and Understanding Addiction

Your brain tries to maintain balance and tries to maintain homeostasis, but often the chemicals that come from your own body, trying to maintain homeostasis, trying to either purge the drug from your system or trying to make it so that you can function, are somewhat more painful in certain instances and certainly more toxic, in the case of alcohol, than the original drug.
Ever wondered how a high-flying career can mask the depths of addiction? Annie Grace, author of 'This Naked Mind', shares her gripping story with Luke Worsfold on 'Inside Addiction'. Starting with just a glass of wine at business dinners, Annie's drinking escalated to two bottles a night. When alcohol wasn't enough, she turned to marijuana, thinking it was a healthier choice. Little did she know, it would pull her into an even tighter grip of addiction.
In this episode, Annie dives deep into how unconscious habits and stress play significant roles in addiction. She opens up about the tough journey of breaking free from these patterns and the vital steps she took towards recovery. Annie emphasizes reconnecting with love and joy as key elements in overcoming addiction. If you're curious about how addiction works or seeking inspiration for your own recovery journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights and heartfelt advice.
