Have you ever wondered what life looks like when you finally let go of alcohol and start living authentically? In this episode of "Stop Drinking and Start Living," host Mary Wagstaff chats with Bonnie, a former client who has not only maintained her sobriety for two years but has also transformed her life in ways she never imagined. Bonnie, a mother of four, shares her journey from struggling with alcohol to becoming a holistic alcohol coach herself.
Her story is a testament to the power of choosing oneself and embracing life's transitions with open arms. Bonnie discusses the shifts she experienced, not just in her sobriety but in her entire approach to life. She talks about the sensuality and aliveness she now feels, which was once dulled by alcohol. Bonnie's journey highlights the importance of clearing limiting beliefs and tapping into one's emotional body to access a deeper sense of self.
The conversation also delves into motherhood and the impact sobriety has had on Bonnie's relationship with her children. By being present and utilising tools to regulate her emotions, Bonnie has navigated significant life changes without resorting to alcohol. Her story is both inspiring and relatable for anyone seeking to break free from the grips of addiction. Mary and Bonnie explore the concept of solitude as a form of self-care rather than loneliness.

This episode is a must-listen for those looking to understand the profound changes that can occur when one chooses to live an alcohol-free life. Bonnie's story is a beacon of hope for anyone on their own journey to sobriety, showing that with dedication and the right support, a fulfilling life is within reach.
