Breaking Free: Holistic Coaching to Unlearn Alcohol Habits

When we discover a new way and we realize that our thoughts are optional, that our thoughts are optional, to at least take action from that, we can become the witness to our thinking, that we can accept our emotions and our thoughts that we don't necessarily have to- um, you know, take action on them and take them seriously.
Ever feel like alcohol has a grip on you that you just can't shake? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff shares insights from her live Q&A on Instagram, focusing on the concept of direct experience. Mary explains how our habitual reactions can make alcohol seem like an uncontrollable impulse, but there's a way out. She introduces holistic alcohol coaching, emphasizing the importance of rituals and ceremonies in our fast-paced world.
By keeping the prefrontal cortex energized, you can start making decisions based on the present rather than past habits. Mary also touches on the amygdala's role and how trauma can influence our choices. The key takeaway? By becoming aware of your thoughts and emotions, you can witness them without letting them dictate your actions. Mary offers a 3-month program designed to help you unlearn alcohol habits and embrace a life free from its burdens.
This episode is packed with practical advice and support for anyone looking to change their relationship with alcohol.
