What if drinking is really how you're missing out on life?
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of drinking to cope with life's stresses, only to find yourself right back where you started? Mary Wagstaff gets it. In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', she dives into the often-overlooked hidden costs of alcohol. These aren't just financial or physical tolls, but emotional and psychological ones that keep you trapped in a cycle of temporary relief followed by guilt and regret.
Mary shines a light on how unmet needs can drive the desire to drink and how addressing these needs can help you break free from this cycle. Imagine if instead of reaching for a drink, you took a moment for yourself on a Friday night—maybe a walk or some quiet time. This episode is all about recognizing those moments and making different choices that lead to lasting happiness.
Mary also touches on the impact of alcohol on our physical health, relationships, and personal dreams. She encourages listeners to uncover their true needs and meet them in healthier ways, ultimately reducing the urge to drink. By doing so, you can transform not just your relationship with alcohol but also your overall quality of life. If you're ready to explore how to meet your needs without relying on alcohol, this episode is a must-listen.
