The Myth of Moderation: Finding True Freedom from Alcohol

When you are trying to solve for the problem of alcohol, moderation solves for the symptom, the ACTION, which is the drinking.
Ever wondered why moderation just doesn't seem to cut it when you're trying to change your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives deep into why moderation addresses only the surface-level symptoms rather than the root causes of drinking. Mary explains that the real issue lies in our thoughts and the conditioned patterns that have formed around our beliefs about alcohol.
She encourages listeners to tap into their inner voice, the one that knows what's best for them and doesn't need to moderate. This voice, as Mary describes, is amazing and deserves to be heard. Mary also highlights the dangers of using alcohol to numb emotions, pointing out that this can prevent us from making decisions that truly serve our highest selves. Instead, she advocates for making choices that reflect self-appreciation and growth.
By focusing on self-awareness and inner reflection, listeners are guided to understand the deeper reasons behind their drinking habits and how to overcome them. In celebration of the podcast's third anniversary and her birthday, Mary is also hosting a special raffle. Listeners who leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or any other platform and send a screenshot to Mary will be entered to win a $100 gift card.
