9 Weeks to Freedom, Happiness, Control and Peace with alcohol - without worrying about failure, judgment, fear or shame.
The Naked Mind Intensive is a 9-week LIVE online learning program starting May 1st. It is for smart, driven, successful people who find it difficult to stay in control with alcohol. The program is created by internationally bestselling author Annie Grace and taught with live daily coaching by Annie and certified Naked Mind Coaches.
This Naked Mind has been widely acclaimed as the most effective, neuroscience-based method for happily and easily finding freedom from alcohol.
Let’s cut right to the chase...
Are you smart, driven and in control in most areas of your life but for some reason alcohol is a strange exception?
You’ll learn the science behind this bizarre little mystery and why it is NOT YOUR FAULT!
Have you tried to stop or cut back in the past but have been unable to do it without feeling deprived and miserable? (So you say screw this… and just go back
to it?)
Welcome to the club. We’ll explore where these feelings come from, why our culture has set us up to fail, and what exactly we can do about it!
Do you find yourself drinking out of habit, or out of boredom…? And then regret it later?
Ahhh habits… they rewire our brains, and can make life easy or oh-so-difficult. The good news, when we use the science to our advantage they become one of our most powerful change tools.
Do you want to drink less, so you set limits but then something stressful happens and suddenly you are back in to your old routines, and somehow you even end up drinking more than before you set the limits?
Yep, me too. Stress was one of the main reasons I drank. And every time I tried to moderate the efforts resulted in me drinking more than before! Let me show you the psychology behind this crazy-phenomenon and how to turn it around.
Are you tired of thinking about drinking, and want to shift your perspective so you have active control over those thoughts? And drinking becomes a decision instead of a reaction?
I was sooo tired of thinking about drinking. How long until I could drink again? How much would I allow myself to drink? Would I be able to handle it? Or would it get out of control... again?
If any, or all of this sounds familiar then you are in the right place.
In fact the tools you know of, that are supposed to be helpful, like willpower, or the idea of complete abstinence - are actually making things harder than they need to be.
It’s not your fault. You’ve simply had the wrong tools.
In fact the tools you know of, that are supposed to be helpful, like willpower, or the idea of complete abstinence - are actually making things harder than they need to be.
What sets This Naked Mind apart from
any other program?
You don’t need to stop drinking when you sign up… in fact stopping may not even be your goal - and that’s ok!
You’ll learn how the idea of ‘never having another drink’ can actually keep people stuck! There is no need to change your behavior until you actually want to. You will never be pressured to make a decision that you are not ready to make, and even better that you don’t want to make.
You won’t need willpower.
This is a willpower-free-zone. You’ll learn exactly why setting limits on yourself, and not allowing yourself to have a drink has the exact opposite effect that you want -- making you want to drink even more!
There is no guesswork (or religion). This is a rational, intelligent, science-based approach.
You’ll learn the psychology behind your desires, firmly rooted in the latest psychology and neuroscience. You’ll understand your unwanted cravings, desires, and how to eliminate them before they become urges you feel compelled to act on.
There is no failure. None. Ever.
With one teeny-tiny exception. The only failure is not to begin.
You won’t be alone.
You’ll join an entire amazing tribe of like-minded individuals. We’ll have fun, hang out every day online (in closed groups) and meet weekly for group coaching and accountability. Studies show success comes from community - this will be your ultimate community.
"...neither my doctor or psychologist could help me with it - yet you did Annie.
“Annie. Thank you. I am a 43 year old wife and mum from Australia. Ten years ago my beloved husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. He was given 6-12 months to live. He is still here today - what a miracle! However, along the way I developed an alcohol dependence. Such that neither my doctor or psychologist could help me with it - yet you did Annie. Thank you. Just, thank you. I am so very grateful. God Bless You.” - C.D., Australia
“Annie, I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how impactful you’ve been for me. While I have not moved to complete abstinence I now do not drink during the week. Your work resonated with me to a tee. Coming from generations of alcoholics in my family tree after 52 years, and not going more than 3 days without a drink I got your wake up call. I can’t thank you enough and you may have extended my life. - D.C., Charlston
"...worth every penny. I go back to it just about every week...
“Annie Grace’s online course is worth every penny. I go back to it just about every week. I think people are looking for ways to learn at home and I’m extremely thankful to be able to do so. I can completely understand why her work is being so well received and I hope she keeps leading the way. Thank you Annie Grace.” - J.L., Canada
"So many failed attempts at being AF (alcohol-free) until I found this...
“So many failed attempts at being AF (alcohol-free) until I found this!! I feel so encouraged by all of you. I went to a party last night and most everyone was drinking but I focused on the food, the conversations, the dancing and had a GREAT time. AND I remember the whole night. Haven’t done that in ages. I feel stronger than I ever have. Thank you!!” - B.C., Boston
Some Of What You’ll Learn in This Naked Mind!
-
Why your conscious decision not to drink is undermined by your unconscious desire for alcohol, how those desires became unconscious in the first place, and how to reverse them so you have full control over your decisions again
- How to not only reclaim your personal power against alcohol, but maintain it. Meaning you’ll be completely free from the endless cycle of decisions about drinking.
- The truth about alcohol, why it’s so easy for it to become such a significant part of our lives, and why you are not an alcoholic.
-
Why excessive drinking is at an all-time record high, and whose fault this really is.
- The real reasons alcohol companies spend so much money on marketing and advertising, and some of the sneaky tricks they use to sell more (and make sure you stay stuck buying!) -- and how to easily counteract their subconscious messaging.
Is this right for me?

Becoming Aware - Immediately Available
To start, we go through an eye opening process to become aware of our current belief structure around alcohol - without judgment! All change happens on the other side of awareness!
Why We Think We Like To Drink - Coming May 4th
We explore the crazy theories society has given us about why we might be drinking more than we want to, and whose fault it is anyway. (Hint: if you’ve believed you are at fault - you don’t want to miss this week! It will free you from a lifetime of guilt around your drinking choices.)
Reframing Our Perspective - Coming May 11th
So if what we’ve been told is wrong, and even holding us back, how do we get it right? This week is all about a massive reframe.
We cover the very foundations of painless habit change as well as how incredibly our culture is starting to shift around alcohol. (Hint: being alcohol free may truly be the next “in thing”).
You. And Your Body. Whole, Strong and Complete - Coming May 18th
Just about every product (and every commercial) is aimed to tell us that we are missing something. That we are somehow incomplete. And if we just buy ‘that thing’, then we will be whole.
This week we get to the bottom of that insanity and instead develop a real, lasting perspective of how incredible each of us truly is.
Confirmation Bias & Cognitive Dissonance - Coming May 25th
Big words that will change your entire life. Why do we both want to drink more and less at the same time? Why is the internet chock-full of memes that glorify drinking?
We’ll learn how exactly advertising works in the brain and find out the real reasons companies spend so much on marketing and advertising and some of the sneaky tricks they’re using to make sure you stay stuck! Plus, how you can easily counteract this messaging - and become immune!
Alcohol & Our Emotions - Coming June 1st
We can’t fix this until we understand the deep needs that alcohol seems to fill. We explore the intense relationships between alcohol and the top emotions we associate with drinking: fun, happiness, stress-relief, friendship, intimacy, and relaxation.
We’ll explore what’s true and what may not be true. And I’ll never tell you what to think, I simply provide the evidence and you draw your own conclusions. This may be our most transformational week together.
Neuroscience, Genetics & Personality - Coming June 8th
This is the week where everything suddenly becomes clear. The crazy behaviors we don’t understand, why we try to change and are unable to, the entire idea of an addictive personality.
We’ll learn the truth about alcohol and the brain, why it can easily become such a significant part of our lives and why you are not an alcoholic.
Alcohol & Social Life, Sex & Our Culture - Coming June 15th
Launching Into Your New Naked Life - Coming June 22nd
What does it really mean to be able to ‘take it or leave it’ and what exactly does it take to get there? Is moderation possible? Should I try? How can I know if I am someone who can moderate? What happens if I mess up? What if I am not yet ready?
We’ll address these vital topics, plus so much more, as you map out your customized and incredible path to take back control.
The Secret To Happily & Easily Drinking Less - Coming June 29th
I know you wish we could just skip to the secret! I do too, but it doesn’t work that way :) We need the entire 9 weeks to rewire your brain, so that this week you can happily, effortlessly, move forward into your new life without shame, labels, pain, strict rules and without ever feeling like you are missing out.
This week is where the magic happens. This moment was one of the best of my entire life, I love seeing it with every new person who goes through this approach (now thousands and thousands!) And I can’t wait to experience it with you.
And if that’s not enough…
You’ve got so many incredible bonuses!
Bonus: Living Naked Video Coaching Course
What happens after you go through the program, your entire belief system has shifted and you no longer feel the need or desire for alcohol.
You are in an amazing place to start living beyond self-medication!
Living Naked is the result of 18 months of research I did after This Naked Mind was born. Research that freed me from high doses of three antidepressants and transformed me from an uptight and short tempered person into someone who has real peace and joy in my life.
This is an entire 8 module Video Coaching Course which tackles:
- Stress. How to change your entire perspective to handle stress in a way that means you’ll never again need (or even want) to self medicate.
- Proven, scientific methods to manage your crazy thinking so you can be present, peaceful and joyful in your life.
- The most effective ways I’ve ever found to reduce anxiety and manage cravings.
-
Finally live your happiest and most fulfilling life - beyond self-medication!
Students say this course by itself is worth the entire program.
I plan to make this course a stand-alone offer, but now, just for this May class, I am providing it completely free as part of this all-inclusive package to not only finding freedom but rediscovering the joy of being you!

Ready for some more inspiration?
"I hope you know all of the people you are impacting for the better...
“I was really starting to escalate my drinking and this has been the only thing that can stop me. So much knowledge. Loving no hangover. First Christmas Eve in so long that I didn’t drink. Gifts wrapped. And Opened. Thank you for this Christmas gift Annie Grace. It has truly been a blessing. I hope you know all of the people you are impacting for the better. So awesome.” - K.L.D., Florida
"...looking forward to waking up tomorrow with a clear head, money in my pocket, my dignity...
"I never thought I would be able to do what I am doing now...
“Annie Grace I just wanted you to know that you’ve touched the lives of many people. There is such a huge movement going on that you started. You are talked about. I just want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart (tears coming down right now) you saved me after almost 27 years of daily drinking since I was 14 years old. I never thought I would be able to do what I am doing now.” - A.C., Arizona
“100 days today. I’ll stop counting now but put it in my phone 100 days ago and voila the day has arrived. I’m free and immensely grateful. Thanks to Annie Grace.” - D.C., California
“Today I’m one year AF (alcohol free). I decided to liberate myself from drinking after seeing a dear friend lose his battle to disease induced by his drinking. I went through This Naked Mind and have never looked back. Loving my healthier lifestyle. And my ability to people watch while others drink. Reconfirms my decision whenever I do. I’ve encouraged others to take the same journey and some have converted. This is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.” - R.W.F., Sydney
I went through This Naked Mind and have never looked back.
What does it cost?
Here are a few things to put that cost into perspective:
- I did a survey and the average Naked Mind participant spent between $12 - $15 per day on alcohol. Even if you just cut back, this course will pay for itself in less than 100 days… and then the savings really starts piling up. My husband and I have saved over $20,000 since we made this amazing change in our lives.
- Medical bills. Prevention is the best medicine. If you compare the price to the fact that alcohol is causing havoc in your liver, and just about every other system in your body you quickly realize how much this course can save you. Not only in time and pain but also financially.
- Just a month of coaching from alcohol-free coaches is $1300 - $1,600 (and generally that's for just 30 days of email coaching.) With this program you get 9 weeks - over 2 months of live group coaching PLUS all your questions answered in our private community. Not only is the program more effective, but its a fraction of the price.
- And let’s not even get into rehab costs. If you let this get worse and have to go that way in the future, we are talking $30,000 or more.
-
One last thought. We invest our time in what we invest our money in. I know this is true. And I want you to get the very best results.
What is life like after This Naked Mind?
Thousands of lives have been changed with This Naked Mind. I’ve asked some of them what they would tell their former selves about what life is like ‘on this side’. Here is what they have to say:
Mike Schmidt is a CEO. Since he found This Naked Mind 9 months ago all sorts of things became possible in his life. He lost more than 40 pounds and doubled his business revenue!
Annick Ina is an author and life coach. She’s been free from alcohol for 2 years! Annick still goes out dancing to all hours of the morning, in fact she says her social life is better than ever and she has never been happier.
Still have questions?
I’ve got you covered.
And if you still have questions email me at intensive@thisnakedmind.com and I’ll get back to you right away!
No! You won’t be asked to make any change until you are ready, empowered and feeling good about it. Deprivation creates stress and stress makes us drink. The point is to absorb the information in a state of mind that is positive and hopeful – so you will never be asked to make a change before you are ready to embrace it.
Will I have to stop drinking forever?
That will be totally up to you. Many participants find complete freedom from alcohol. Others regain their control over alcohol and learn to have an occasional drink without wanting more.
Does this program work long term?
Yes! We only have success stories going back to when I brought This Naked Mind into existence, just over 3 years ago. But there are sooo many success stories! Here are a few:
“I can’t thank you enough Annie, just about to reach my first year and couldn’t have done it without you.” - S.P., Thailand.
"My insecurity, jealousy, and anger, which were major problems have virtually disappeared...
“It was two years ago that I realized I needed to be free from alcohol. I now don’t know if I will ever drink again. I may have a beer in the future but if I do it won’t matter, I no longer crave it or want it. I now get up in the morning and feel, yes I’m going to say it, happy. My insecurity, jealousy, and anger, which were major problems have virtually disappeared. I’m still a work in progress obviously, but I am a very different person. I’m beginning to like myself again. I guess the point is that if after 20 odd years of heavy, daily drinking and weekend blackout drinking, if I can do it, anyone can..” - S.P., New York.
“It’s been 3 years! Your program has been a big help. Thanks for all you do.” - JBF, Austin
What if I can’t afford it?
A bit of tough love from me :) If you are drinking every day, you are spending this money on alcohol. Tolerance only goes one way. That’s how alcohol works. If you don’t do something about this now, it will be worse tomorrow, not better. I did a survey of hundreds of people and the average person was spending $13 - $15 on alcohol, per day. Some less and a few more, but 73% said they spent $13 - $15 per day. This course will pay for itself in less time than the course takes to complete. Not to mention, all the other costs associated with continuing to drink like you do today; health and medical costs, lost time and productivity, relationship costs and so many others. And maybe the Intensive is not right for you but no matter what, if you are here on this page reading this, please invest in yourself in this area, it doesn’t matter if it is here with me, or somewhere else, but getting back in control of your relationship with alcohol is one of the best investments you will ever make.
One other thought on this. Coaching averages $1,300 - $3,000 per month, rehabilitation and detox services are thousands of dollars, and of course continuing to drink will cost you thousands - just over the next year. When compared to some of the other options, I truly believe, for the value and life transformation this course can provide, this is your best investment.
Will I have to avoid the bar or pub?
No! This Naked Mind helps you overcome your subconscious desires so you can still have a social life. Instead of wanting to drink, you will have the chance to make a conscious decision to NOT drink, and won't feel guilty for doing it!
But don’t take my word for it…
“I’m celebrating! Six months to the day since I touched a drop of alcohol...
“I’m celebrating! Six months to the day since I touched a drop of alcohol! I only intended to cut-down so this is a huge achievement for me which I hope will continue forever. Last night I had a lovely night out at the pub. Didn’t have to get a lift up there - I drove! Drank non-alcoholic drinks - at a fraction of the price. Didn’t have to brave the cold to walk home or pay for a taxi, my car was parked just outside! Did I enjoy it any less? No! I’ve noticed that I enjoy socializing so much more. And if I fall over, it's because my shoes are too tight, not because the wine has hit home! In previous years this would have been unthinkable. To me. Thanks so much Annie Grace. This Naked Mind has changed my life". - O.M., London, England.
How can I tell if I am physically addicted?
When will the live coaching calls take place? I want to make sure I can join.
In the past we have had participants from all over the world so timing can be tricky but if you are unable to make the call you can submit your questions before the call and we will have replays available in the membership area shortly after the calls are completed. We will do our best, based on the geography of students to ensure that the call is at a timezone that works for many different countries.
What are the details of the community?
We have a secret (no one can see you are in it) Facebook group that you will be invited to join. If you are not on Facebook many people will create one-time accounts just to get the friendship and accountability within the group. I’ll be in the group with you encouraging you and providing support along the way. If you are opposed to Facebook we also have an off-facebook community (it has 12,000 people and is not specific to this Intensive program) that you can join at any time.
Do you talk about starting again? I enjoyed 14 months blissfully alcohol free but then an event in my life triggered a relapse. I am not sure how to start over.
Yes! This course is designed to give you the best chance at getting started and even more importantly making it stick for the long term.
The community sounds great, but I am well known in my field and don’t want to use my real name. Is that possible?
Yes, some people create a specific facebook account just for this purpose, so that it is super private - that is an option you might want to choose.
What if I want more accountability? Do you do 1:1 coaching?
I no longer do 1:1 coaching but I will be sure to address every question that comes up through the course. I will provide you a secret email address where you can submit questions that I will either answer during our live group coaching calls or via live video in our closed facebook group. The great news is that you get 1:1 attention at a fraction of the price of personal coaching.
Do you address the underlying reasons we drink? I suspect some things in my past may be keeping me stuck.
Yes. In addition to the course material there is an entire bonus course called Living Naked. Living Naked goes deep into living beyond self-medication and in order to do that we need to get straight with our thinking and make peace inside our own minds. The Living Naked bonus course provides actionable, science-based information to help you do exactly that.
Can I go at my own pace?
Yes. You will have lifetime access to all the materials, so if something comes up that is no problem. Achieving these life-changing results is worth taking your time. However long it takes you to process the information and ensure you're getting the most benefit is entirely up to you. Again, the program is yours forever.
My drinking is such a habit, and I know it takes a lot of work to change a habit. Do you address this?
Great question! Habits are consciously learned and have since become unconscious. Your brain turns those actions into routine to save mental space. The great thing about This Naked Mind is that it helps you change those habits into conscious thoughts again, so you have power over them.
Can I buy this later?
This program is only available until midnight pacific time April 30th 2018. Once doors close the program will start and if you miss it you will have to wait until doors open again next year.
I have a lot of guilt about my drinking. Will this course help?
This Naked Mind is designed specifically to help free you from the guilt of drinking. By changing your relationship with alcohol, you will become empowered, instead of dealing with constant guilt.
Can I become an occasional drinker?
The choice is entirely yours. This Naked Mind helps you reframe your outlook on drinking alcohol, so you can have as little or as much as you want. In fact, many students report having a single drink and then feeling the urge to stop, instead of going back for more.
Will this work for people who are physically addicted to alcohol?
If you are physically addicted to alcohol, the course can help change your mindset, but I strongly urge you to seek medical help to overcome your physical addiction.
How does this work on cravings? My cravings are so intense and have kept me stuck.
As long as you are not physically addicted, your cravings are mostly in your subconscious mind, and This Naked Mind helps you address your desires on a subconscious level so you understand them and can properly manage them.
I’ve tried to quit before but always go back. Does this course address the long term? I want this to stick!
Chances are high that the reasons you've returned to alcohol is because you didn't address the subconscious desires to drink. With This Naked Mind, I'll help you reframe those subconscious desires so you're aware of them before they become conscious thoughts.
I am still finding this all very hard to believe, I am a serious skeptic.
I totally get it. I was at first, too. Your skepticism won't go away until you experience This Naked Mind, though. But, I can help by providing feedback from fellow skeptics who have now found freedom through This Naked Mind.
“I was skeptical about the claims of Annie Grace...
“I was skeptical about the claims of Annie Grace but SHE IS RIGHT! Ms. Grace relates in detail her battles in overcoming alcohol through her life which are both profound and inspiring. The content is extremely well produced and her research on alcohol is scenically documented and profound. The bottom line for me is that after reading the book if do not drink alcohol at all, and like other times I have tried to quit or cut back I now have no DESIRE at all to drink. That had always been a problem in the past, not drinking, but always wanting to." - Grayson, Los Angeles
“It sounds crazy, and I was very skeptical, but this course truly changes your unconscious mind. That's the only explanation I have for having NO cravings or desire to drink whatsoever. It is repetitive for a reason and you will barely notice it. It works!” - Amanda, London
"This has seriously changed my life. It has changed my life more than any other therapy, counselor, class, doctor, or addiction specialist...
“I was skeptical then, after reading the excellent reviews, I decided to try it. I did and it was amazing. It spoke to me with science and intelligence and common sense. This has seriously changed my life. It has changed my life more than any other therapy, counselor, class, doctor, or addiction specialist ever did, combined. For almost 10 years, my thoughts have been consumed by drinking, or trying not to drink, or when I could drink again, or at what time I could drink, or how much money I had spent on wine that week, or how to hide my many bottles of wine, or how hung over I felt, or making elaborate plans to drink (I'll drink on Monday, but not Tuesday, then I'll drink Wed and Thursday, and only on Friday if no one is home.....). My life now is changed. My skin is clear. My hair is awesome. I'm happy. Thank you Annie Grace!’ - Nature Girl, Ohio
What is the time commitment?
Each week you receive a module, it will contain a series of short videos (3-10 min in length) for a total of 45 min - 1 hour of weekly videos. You will also have short reflections to write or contemplate and a 1 hour weekly live group coaching call.
Can I do the program with my partner?
Definitely. You can both login to the same account and do it together. Accountability makes it much more fun!
Can I get this for someone else?
Yes! If you have a loved one that you want to help, join This Naked Mind and then give them your login information and help guide them through getting started.
Important Note: This course is only for serious participants who are willing to put in the time. If this is not you, than this course is not for you.
Are you still here? Looking for even more proof that this is the best decision you will ever make? Don’t take my word for it… check out a few more testimonials:
It’s decision time!
Make the decision to say yes to you.
To your future. You are the hero of this story, let me help you break free and become the person you were always meant to be. Trust me to be your guide. I won’t let you down. And I can’t wait to begin.
And again, don’t take my word for it. Here are just a few more of the now hundreds of stories I’ve received from all over the globe:
"Extremely happy that the information is easy to follow and it's POSITIVE...
“I feel so comforted that I finally have the answer to my alcohol addiction. This has been a life-saver- I had been struggling with the philosophy of AA for 23 years, but eventually I turned back to alcohol because it never made sense to me (without going into details). I have a scientific mind, and find all the information relevant and realistic. Extremely happy that the information is easy to follow and it's POSITIVE- thank-you Annie. Also, I never feel alone now that I have my online community.” - T.D.
“The freedom I am feeling is amazing. I have moments of happiness for no apparent reason...
“The freedom I am feeling is amazing. I have moments of happiness for no apparent reason, where before I started I lived in a dark world of guilt and shame and dark depression. I look forward to carrying my AF (alcohol-free) living through the next year and experience events, holidays, and all moments clear and sober. I am so thankful for this experiment and the knowledge and support I have gained in order to see the light on the other side of drinking. Yes there are still temptations and thoughts of drinking, but they no longer torment me and hold me prisoner every waking moment. I don't plan for my evening drinks when I am getting ready in the morning. FREEDOM!!!” - J.T.
"I feel more present with my children and am not forgetting as much...
“I'm feeling great without alcohol! New things have opened up for me - some simple things like planting a little garden, trying a different grocery store, exercising more. I've lost weight and I never have to worry about how much I've embarrassed myself while drinking. I feel more present with my children and am not forgetting as much, or having to constantly remind myself of things I said I'd do with them.” - A.N.
“Maintaining my clear headed, energetic self is more important than alcohol...
“Maintaining my clear headed, energetic self is more important than alcohol. Experiencing life and situations honestly is more important than alcohol. Facing my fears alcohol free, working through problems and roadblocks, discovering new things in life and new things about myself are all more important than alcohol. Alcohol is just a substance that seemingly offers temporary relief at best. At worst, it has robbed me of living my best life for too long. No more, I am in control of my life now.” - S.A.
