How to Stop Daily Drinking: Finding Happiness and Healing After 35 Years | Pierre’s Naked Life | E790


Listen Later

Can you really learn how to stop daily drinking after decades of alcohol use? 


Pierre's 35-year "drinking career" began at age 9 when adults first gave him alcohol in the Alps, a region where drinking is deeply woven into the cultural fabric. Despite recognizing his daily three-beer habit as problematic in his twenties, it took decades and multiple attempts before he successfully broke free. After discovering Annie Grace's approach, Pierre developed a long-term strategy to stop daily drinking and now celebrates a year of sobriety. In this episode, Pierre shares his journey from European drinking culture to peaceful sobriety, explaining how alcohol-induced depression lifted, why social pressure made quitting difficult, and how he finally created a life so beautiful he refuses to let alcohol steal even a day of it.


In this episode, Annie and Pierre will discuss:

  • First exposure to alcohol at age 9 in Europe's drinking culture
  • The progression from social drinking to daily alcohol consumption
  • Working in industries where drinking is normalized and accessible
  • Multiple failed attempts at moderation and sobriety
  • How to stop daily drinking with This Naked Mind
  • How alcohol-induced depression and anxiety disappeared
  • Developing a toolbox of coping strategies for life without alcohol
  • The challenge of socializing sober in drinking-centric environments
  • The power of curiosity in creating sustainable change
  • Creating a life that doesn't require escaping through alcohol
  • Finding self-love and self-understanding without alcohol
  • The realization that "there is no love in that bottle"
  • And other topics...
