I’ve been in sales for almost 20 years. One of the things that trips me up when I try to quit drinking is going to a sales conference. There is so much drinking it feels like a non-stop party. I don’t really know how to function in those situations with alcohol and I usually end up drinking, even when I don’t want to. How do I break this cycle? Hi, I am a 37-year-old mom of two that is in the middle of getting her startup running. Life is absolutely nuts right now and I feel like the only thing that helps me keep it together is my nightly wine. But I know from being around This Naked Mind that wine isn’t actually helping. How do I get a clearer picture of what wine is actually doing to me instead of what I see it doing for me? Are you realizing that there’s something more?

You want to help others in their moments of need move through that discomfort.
