You can't eliminate your desire for alcohol until you start to reduce it, one circumstance at a time, and the way that we do that was. And instead of just moving away from alcohol, we're looking at what are we moving towards right.
Ever feel like your thoughts about drinking are stuck in a rigid cycle of 'all or nothing'? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff tackles the common trap of black and white thinking when it comes to alcohol. Mary explains how this mindset can make you feel like you're either doomed to drink forever or destined for a joyless life without alcohol.
She introduces her transformative Five Shifts Process, designed to help you move beyond this limiting perspective. By focusing on what you want more of in your life today, rather than fixating on never drinking again, Mary shows how you can gradually reduce your desire for alcohol. This episode is all about celebrating small wins and making incremental changes that add up to a big difference.
Mary also highlights the importance of curiosity and openness to change, encouraging listeners to ask themselves questions like 'Why would I not drink today?' and 'What can I do with what I have right now?'. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Mary offers a refreshing approach to breaking free from the black and white thinking that keeps so many people stuck. Tune in for an inspiring journey towards a more vibrant, alcohol-free life.
