Alcohol isn't required for you to laugh with your family or the time off or the cooking. There's alcohol and then there's literally everything else that does not require alcohol.
When you think about giving up alcohol, does the word 'forever' make your heart race? Mary Wagstaff gets it. In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', she dives into why focusing on 'forever' can be overwhelming and counterproductive. Instead of getting lost in a future without alcohol, Mary encourages you to anchor yourself in the present. Imagine waking up refreshed tomorrow morning, savoring that moment rather than dreading endless dry days ahead.
She shares three key reasons why she avoids the word 'forever' in her coaching and offers practical tips to help you stay grounded. If you're tired of feeling like alcohol is a boulder in your life, tune in to learn how to shift your mindset and find freedom in the here and now.
