If it's not adding to your life in some way, then it's taking from you.

In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives into the tangled web of emotions and habits that create a love-hate relationship with alcohol. She explores how breaking promises to yourself and feeling stuck in a cycle of drinking are common struggles, not signs of a broken brain.
Mary sheds light on the subconscious ways we use alcohol to cope with various emotions, whether they're positive or negative. She emphasizes that the real issue isn't the act of drinking itself, but our discomfort with experiencing emotions without numbing them with alcohol.

This episode isn't just about cutting down on drinking; it's about understanding the deeper reasons behind your habits and learning to live a more emotionally intelligent life. By becoming curious about your beliefs around alcohol and shifting your mindset, you can start to appreciate the benefits of sobriety. Tune in to discover how to embrace the process of not drinking and see the positive changes it brings to your life.
