Getting alcohol out of your way isn't just about not drinking, it's cultivating and inner resourcing the compassionate witness, so you can feel safe however you show up, where ever you go, no matter what
Ever wondered why alcohol feels like a safety blanket? Mary Wagstaff dives into this question in her podcast 'Stop Drinking and Start Living'. In this episode, she tackles the tricky topic of emotional safety and how it relates to alcohol use. Mary explores the emotions we often judge or suppress, and how alcohol can trick us into feeling secure by numbing these feelings.
But here's the catch – this false sense of security only compounds our unmet needs and erodes our self-worth. Mary doesn't just leave you hanging with the problem. She introduces the idea of cultivating an 'inner compassionate witness'. This means learning to accept yourself and your emotions, no matter how messy they might seem. Imagine building a safety net of self-acceptance that can support you in any situation. Sounds liberating, right?
In honor of the podcast's third anniversary and her birthday, Mary is also hosting a special raffle. Listeners who leave a rating and review can enter to win a $100 gift card. It's her way of celebrating the community that's grown around the show and helping more women improve their lives. So, if you're tired of the same old strategies that don't work and are ready to find real, lasting relief from alcohol's grip, this episode is a must-listen.
Mary offers practical steps and heartfelt advice to help you feel safe in your own skin, without relying on alcohol.
