We think it enhances our social life and relieves boredom and stress. We believe these things below our conscious awareness. This is why, even after we consciously acknowledge that alcohol takes more than it gives, we retain the desire to drink.”
― Annie Grace, This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life

We search to understand the meaning of life, but no question provokes more debate. We feel desperate to experience gratification, so much so that we often rob ourselves of it by overindulging”
― Annie Grace, This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life
