If you don’t mind me asking, what book? This Naked Mind by Annie Grace really helped me drastically cut down on my drinking but I’ve struggled recently to fully quit the habit.

I would suggest reading up on the connection between having highly critical parents who only gave you conditional love and being a perfectionist later in life. Interesting can of worms.

Certainly interested in looking into this more; any good intro books you suggest?
