Facing Resistance: A Mother's Day Special with Mary Wagstaff

You have to really believe into a life where alcohol is irrelevant and then, once it's irrelevant, you won't want to moderate.
Change can be a tough pill to swallow, especially when it involves something as ingrained in our lives as alcohol. In this heartfelt episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dedicates her discussion to her beloved mother, Shannon Thompson, and dives into the often uncomfortable but necessary topic of resistance to change. Mary opens up about the first step in tackling resistance: acknowledging it.
She explains how our refusal to accept change keeps us stuck in a cycle of denial or constant moderation, preventing us from truly moving forward. By asking probing questions like 'What are we resisting?' and 'Why does this change feel scary?', Mary helps listeners confront their fears head-on. This episode isn't just about facing resistance; it's about envisioning the possibilities that lie beyond it.
Mary encourages you to see the infinite potential that comes with embracing change, and she shares practical tips on how to let go of what holds you back. With her compassionate guidance, you'll find inspiration to rewrite your relationship with alcohol and live a more authentic life. Tune in for a mix of emotional insight and practical advice, all wrapped up in a special Mother's Day tribute.
