Come down under with Annie as she interviews Nicole, a participant from the January Live Alcohol Experiment. Like many countries, Australia has a drinking age of 18 and for Nicole, that's when the partying started. For her, drinking became synonymous with anything and everything she did - celebrations, happy moods, sad moods....etc. She decided something had to change and that's when she found The Alcohol Experiment and describes it as 'life changing'. Find out why and how life is different for her now. Are you looking to connect with like-minded people?

Pain….whether it’s physical or emotional, many of us have used alcohol to cover up the pain. But what happens when we are able to kick our bad drinking habits, but the pain remains.

Annie takes this question and gives us statistics, medical science, and resources to help us navigate through how to deal with pain without alcohol. Did you miss This Naked Mind Live?
