Taming Overwhelm: Finding Calm in Your Journey to Sobriety

We understand the emotion of overwhelm is created by this thought, and what we do is we take action, and the action that we usually take is to compound the emotion, to spin and drama, and instead of pausing, knowing that we have those emotions in our body, naming it to tame it, feeling it right.
Feeling like life is constantly pulling you in different directions? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff gets real about the chaos that often leads us to drink. Mary, a holistic alcohol coach, explains that overwhelm isn't about your to-do list or external pressures—it's all in your mind. She dives into how our thoughts can create a storm of emotions, making it tough to stay on track with sobriety. But don't worry, Mary’s got your back.
She shares practical tips on how to name and feel your emotions, so they don’t pile up and push you towards that drink. Plus, she talks about the power of pausing and taking action to steer clear of drama and fear. If you’re feeling swamped and turning to alcohol for relief, this episode is a game-changer. Tune in and learn how to reclaim your peace and stay true to your journey.
