Breaking Free: Mary Wagstaff's Fresh Take on Quitting Alcohol

Breaking up with booze is just like breaking up in a relationship: you've got all of your clothes over at your partner's house, your toothbrush is there and you know, maybe you even bought a car together.
Ever thought quitting alcohol feels like ending a long-term relationship? Mary Wagstaff gets it. In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', she dives into the first step of her groundbreaking 5 Shifts Process, helping you break free from alcohol's grip. Mary argues that we often treat alcohol differently than other relationships, expecting it to vanish overnight. But, like any breakup, it takes time and effort to untangle your life from it.
She encourages listeners to make a clear decision and start their journey now, rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Mary also touches on why we link certain activities with drinking and how to rewire those associations. Her approach is all about moving towards freedom, emphasizing self-compassion instead of guilt or shame. If you're ready to see what's possible beyond alcohol, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in for practical advice, relatable analogies, and a fresh perspective on making alcohol irrelevant in your life.
