What if I told you that all of the things that you have tried to do to quit drinking were actually all myths- avoiding alcohol, conforming to other groups, distracting yourself, replacing all of the shame and regret, hiding out- and that it is the exact opposite?
Ever wondered why we think alcohol equals fun? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives into the myths and truths about what really makes drinking enjoyable. She asks some tough questions: Why do we need to alter who we are to have a good time? What if we could change the beliefs that create our inhibitions instead of just drinking less?
Mary believes that fun is a choice shaped by our thoughts, not by what's in our glass. She explores whether lowering your inhibitions truly makes things more fun and how generating evidence can help you understand your real preferences. Mary also introduces the idea of planning ahead to create new experiences that don't revolve around alcohol. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to be present, examine your beliefs, and embrace self-discovery.
If you're tired of the constant battle with alcohol and want to find genuine joy in life, this episode is for you.
