What is one small realization that changed your life in a big way? When Annie Grace worked in corporate, her boss advised her to join happy hour to network. At first, she only drank at work events, but soon it became a daily habit at home. She tried to cut back with strict rules, but nothing worked. One morning, after a week of heavy drinking, she woke up needing alcohol, with vodka as her only option. Hungover and full of regret, she wrote in her journal, “I think I’m an alcoholic”. Those words felt heavy but sparked curiosity, leading her to dig deep into why she drank and how alcohol affected her brain.  In this special episode, Annie shares her journey with alcohol, why grace is the key to lasting change, and how curiosity, not willpower, led her to true freedom.
