Mary Stuart's Path to Sobriety: From Hospitality to Healing
Some of those things have ended up in the book as well. Well, I'm deciding whether I want to share that with the world. I don't like the word alcoholic, and I talk about that in the book as well, because when I was younger, when people talked about alcoholics, it just seemed like it was a person that didn't have their life together.
Have you ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from a spiral of alcohol dependency to a fulfilling, sober existence? In this episode of Alcohol Tipping Point, host Deb Mazenor sits down with Australian author Mary Stuart, who opens up about her transformative journey to sobriety. Mary shares how she masked her childhood shyness by diving into the hospitality industry, a career choice that eventually led her to a troubling relationship with alcohol.
But after numerous attempts to quit, she finally found her way out through the power of journaling. Mary’s new book, 'Living an Alcohol-Free Life YOUR Way', serves as both a memoir and a guide, complete with journal prompts designed to help readers uncover the reasons behind their drinking habits and find their unique path to sobriety. Throughout the conversation, Mary also tackles societal perceptions of alcohol use and challenges the stigma attached to the 'alcoholic' label.
If you're looking for practical tips, heartfelt stories, and a fresh perspective on living alcohol-free, this episode is a must-listen.
