What if the glass of wine you reach for every evening is actually treating something deeper than just stress? Amy takes us through her journey from teenage experimentation to mommy wine culture, revealing how alcohol became her trusted companion through life's challenges. As a high-functioning professional juggling parenting, caregiving responsibilities, and undiagnosed issues, she found herself using alcohol to treat adult ADHD without even realizing it. It wasn't until her son developed addiction issues that Amy began questioning her own relationship with alcohol. Through family therapy, reading This Naked Mind, and completing The Alcohol Experiment, Amy discovered how alcohol was masking her authentic needs while creating more anxiety and depression. Now alcohol-free for four years, she shares how breaking this cycle led to profound personal growth and genuine joy. In this episode, Annie and Amy discuss: Growing up in a conservative "Leave It to Beaver" household Teenage experimentation with alcohol as rebellion Transitioning from weekend binge drinking to daily wine culture How mommy wine culture normalized problematic drinking Using alcohol to treat adult ADHD without realizing it The connection between disordered eating and alcohol consumption Parenting adopted children with unique challenges How family therapy led to self-discovery Breaking free from alcohol at age 51 Finding authentic joy and peace in midlife And other topics… Episode links: Start reading This Naked Mind - https://thisnakedmind.com/book Join The Alcohol Experiment - www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: EP 719: Naked Life Story – Katie W. - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-719-naked-life-story-katie-w/ EP 110: Reader Question – I stopped drinking alcohol but now I binge on Netflix and ice cream.

What if the first step to change is just being honest with yourself? Amy grew up in a family where alcohol wasn't a big part of life. She didn't drink in high school and was teased for it. During college and law school, she began drinking to fit in. Later, wine became part of her career as a lawyer. Over time, she used alcohol to deal with stress, lack of sleep, and feelings of guilt as a mom. Hearing stories about other people's drinking made Amy feel like her habit wasn't a big deal because she wasn't letting it affect her work. But after struggling with guilt, shame, and even suicidal thoughts, she knew something had to change. In this episode, Amy talks with Annie about her steps toward making lasting changes, what didn't work, and how she found her passion for coaching others in the legal profession to rethink their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, Annie and Amy will discuss: - Growing up without alcohol - Getting teased for not drinking as a teenager - Drinking to fit in during college and law school - How wine became part of her work and social life - Using alcohol to deal with stress and lack of sleep - Struggling with shame, mom guilt, and suicidal thoughts - How the Alcohol Experiment changed Amy's mindset - Why hearing stories about alcohol made her drink more - Amy's attempts at drinking in moderation - The difference between quick relief and real growth - Creating new habits like walking and gratitude - Understanding the intentions behind drinking habits - Finding purpose through coaching - Helping others in the legal industry with their alcohol journey - Learning how alcohol affects the brain and body - Building stronger friendships beyond drinking - And other topics… Connect with Amy: Amy's Website: https://www.reframingwellbeing.com/  Related Episodes: EP 88: Reader Question – Social Drinking – How Do I Muster the Willpower Not to Drink? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-88-reader-question-social-drinking-muster-willpower-not-drink/  EP 158: Reader Question – How do you deal with stress without alcohol? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-158-how-do-you-deal-with-stress-without-alcohol/ EP 718: Reader's Question – Does Not Drinking Hurt Job Prospects? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-718-readers-question-does-not-drinking-hurt-job-prospects/  Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.

Annie offers answers on how and why we get stuck in a cycle of Day 1's and multiple attempts to stop drinking, she explains the way our fears over physical withdrawal symptoms (or our experiences with them) can lead us to drink again, and also touches on the incredible impact our negative self-talk can have on going back to drinking again and again.

Often the hardest part of our journey, when we go alcohol-free, isn't really our own path, it's the journey others go on with us.

My guest today is Bryan Johnson, founder of Braintree that sold Venmo to PayPal/eBay for $800 million. After experiencing many years of deep depression Bryan decided to venture out on an intense experiment with his latest project blueprint and his newest company, Kernel. He has for the past two years been eating the same meals, taking 105 supplements each day, and doing the same physical training to create a non-disputable baseline. Bryan's hope is to see if he could get into optimal health but also turn back his chronological age. I asked Bryan how long this experiment will go on and his answer is "forever". A lot of people have an intense response to his experiment, but rather than dismissing it or throwing some superlatives at what he's doing, I thought it would be better to go in and try to understand and learn from him, his perspective. Bryan and his team at Kernel are collecting data, measuring over 200 health points, taking pictures of his organs, observing the brain under different circumstances and who knows maybe it's all information that can help us.

Alcohol was such a small part of Suzzane's personal life for so long.
