The book is awe inspiring. 15 days sober today....and I am reading it, and find myself re-reading and re-reading paragraphs and chapters over and over. It’s my absolute BIBLE right now. It’s saving my life. Thank you Laura.
Laura’s book looks and sounds amazing. I just ordered and can’t wait! It seems the 2 of you together have a very healing and genuine vibe which does allow me to feel a spark of hope. Thank You
Struggling here!!! 14 days and bored and really really wanting to drink! Had a surgery and recovering but struggling to not drink even though I know it will slow the healing process for me! But hanging on one day at a time!
Just preordered the book on audible. Can relate to Laura’s story so much, have a few months sober under my belt but find inspiration from you ladies. Thanks for sharing your demons too so publicly, it really helps ease the shame n self hatred knowing it is the addiction and not my true self. It eases the regret. Thank you
@@ThisNakedMind that’s so strange I’ve struggled through lockdown and thought I need to re read the book, getting it in paperback so I can make notes...thanks for everything u do Annie x
In the middle of reading the book now! I can relate on so many levels! I've never heard of the third door, but wow that's what I was looking for too in my early days of becoming AF. (proudly 1 1/2 years AF thanks to Annie!) For those who have not read it, it is so accessible. You'll say me too often. So grateful for you two women. Can't wait to meet Laura 1/15 at her book signing in Brookline!
It seems people that have more of a victim mentality like being called “alcoholic” because it shits the blame outside of themselves. It goes along with the disease concept -- like they “caught” something. You’re views are empowering and people that want to remain victims will have trouble at first taking responsibility for their lives.
Yes, I have believed that to be true as well. What I want is the truth, my truth, not to be labeled with a disease concept, that, to date, is a medical fallacy. There is also no such scientific term as alcoholism any longer. The twelve steps are based on a Christian Fundamentalist perspective and group. I feel that AA should be more transparent about that.
It always shocks me how irritating being sober is… Everything is so frustrating and topsy-turvy… But also, how beautiful life is...the almost unbearable beauty of life...that has been my struggle, so beautiful 🥹

Drinking never relieves boredom - it will only increase it. What are things you've always wanted to try that can relieve your boredom?
Great Podcast, can't wait to get the book.
Thank you for your amazing work.
Thank you for watching!

WhiteMamba I ordered on audible too and it said ordered complete but not yet in my library. Is that because it doesn’t drop until the 7th ?

It can be irritating but with time it becomes less so.
