The This Naked Mind community, founded by Annie Grace, originated the Sober Curious movement and is committed to fostering an open and judgment-free exploration of our relationship with alcohol. This platform encourages individuals to examine their drinking habits without rules, shame, or stigma.

Participants are supported in choosing their own paths—whether that involves drinking less, moderating, abstaining entirely, or other approaches. The emphasis is on personal choice, and the community upholds a non-judgmental stance regardless of one’s individual journey.

Importantly, the approach does not dictate that individuals must stop drinking. Instead, it prioritizes how one wishes to feel over the quantity consumed. The philosophy rejects labels such as ‘alcoholic,’ providing evidence on why such classifications can be misleading and potentially counterproductive to moderation efforts.

The concept of ‘relapse,’ ‘falling off the wagon,’ or ‘starting over’ is dismissed within this framework. These notions often hinder honest engagement with one’s relationship with alcohol, as they promote an all-or-nothing mindset that may discourage self-inquiry.

A more productive line of questioning involves considering whether reducing alcohol intake could enhance one’s happiness—a perspective explored through programs like The Alcohol Experiment, which has positively impacted hundreds of thousands of participants worldwide.

Research in neuroscience supports the understanding that excessive drinking is not a matter of personal weakness. It demonstrates that individuals are operating with limited or misaligned tools rather than a lack of willpower. Recognizing this empowers individuals to reclaim control over their choices.

The community emphasizes personal empowerment in addressing alcohol use, emphasizing that acknowledging feelings of powerlessness can hinder progress. Instead, fostering self-compassion and understanding creates a more sustainable and even enjoyable path toward change.

Ultimately, the philosophy holds that excessive drinking does not signify brokenness or a terminal diagnosis. Cultivating self-compassion over shame allows for a more effective and positive transformation process—one that can be uplifting and engaging.
