Are you really in control of your relationship with alcohol or is it just an illusion?
From crushing it in the corporate world to managing life as a working mom, drinking helped Jenn M. wind down, meet new people, and belong in social circles. Alcohol helped her be the best version of herself, and she had it under control. Or so she thought. Over time, as she noticed the effects of alcohol on her mind and body, she began to question her relationship with it. She struggled to draw the line, but it wasn’t until she read This Naked Mind that she could really see alcohol for what it was. Now finally free, she has started to focus on creating a life she doesn’t want to escape from.
