The Myth That Keeps Us Drinking: Mary Wagstaff's Insightful Revelation

You have to take your brain to the result you desire most and make decisions from that place. When you do, you give your brain an opportunity to solve problems in a new way.
What if one single belief is the reason you keep reaching for that drink? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff takes a deep dive into the powerful belief that has shaped our entire mindset about alcohol in the Western world. This belief is so ingrained that it drives us to solve our problems and create fun with alcohol, often at the expense of our intuition and well-being.
Mary breaks down how this belief leads to self-sabotage, from negotiating rules with ourselves to fighting with loved ones and feeling shame for not figuring it out. She even highlights how this belief is embedded in the AA's big blue book, yet it keeps many feeling deprived even after quitting. Mary argues that this belief is not a fact but a thought, and we have the power to choose whether or not to believe it.
By challenging this belief, we can reclaim our true selves and what matters most. Tune in to discover how you can shift your mindset and eliminate the desire to drink on your own terms.
