A couple more paragraphs get to the meat of it:

...she didn’t turn to Alcoholics Anonymous. She decided to do it all on her own, a process she details in her book, “This Naked Mind” (Avery).

...Grace researched alcohol’s ill effects and journaled about why she was drinking in an effort to dismantle the assumptions that she had made about the substance — that it was calming her nerves or making her more interesting. In fact, she found, it didn’t do any of that.

After a two-week period of withdrawal symptoms such as having trouble sleeping, night sweats, anxiety and restlessness, Grace became completely sober using her mind-over-matter technique.

The book tells you how to do it using will power is my guess.

Two weeks??? More like two days.

I gathered it is more than will power. It's actually a recovery technique that is very biblical. She interrogates the sin, breaks it down so that she is honest about it, why she desires it, discovers its lies, and then applies truth (Romans 12:1-2).

Essentially, she changes her mind by washing her mind. That's my guess.
