Step 2 to Freeing Yourself from Alcohol: Embrace Your Emotions Without Judgment

This is about diving deeper into your belief system...So instead of being like having learned: oh, I'm feeling scared right now, okay, I'm going to experience scared and then I'll move on and I can kind of judge to see if this was an appropriate reaction based on the circumstance. So if you start cultivating nonjudgmental awareness around your emotions, you can start to experience them as the sensations they are and also start to kind of go deeper that, am I reacting to this firsthand lived experience?
Ever wondered why you reach for that drink? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff takes you on a journey to understand and eliminate your desire for alcohol by diving into non-judgmental emotional awareness.
