Can this book take away your desire to drink forever?
Daily MailIf you're struggling through Dry January desperately trying to force yourself to stay away from the corkscrew, a new book promises that it can help - by taking away the desire to drink completely. It doesn't contain any rules, goals or scaremongering, but by exploring the reasons people drink and their fears that a life without alcohol will be boring or deprived, Jessica insists that you will want to drink less or give up altogether by the time you've finished reading. This Naked Mind by Annie Grace from Colorado examines the influence that alcohol has on our culture and society Myth: Alcohol is vital to your social life Before you ever drank a drop you did not need alcohol to enjoy yourself socially, yet as you grew older, you observed everyone around you drinking in social situations. Annie Grace developed the programme after the stress of her job led her to drink excessively Myth: I need to drink to fit in You observe everyone drinking all the time. Her book has been praised by readers who say they no longer want to drink after reading it It's practically impossible in Western society not to form the assumption that alcohol makes people happy.
