The first and most important decision is that you're committing to not giving up on yourself...All of the questions boil down to one answer- is your unwillingness to become aware of your emotions, to validate them and understand them...
Why can't you stop drinking? Mary Wagstaff gets to the heart of this question in episode #42 of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living'. She breaks down the emotional barriers that keep you tethered to alcohol, explaining that the root cause lies in your unwillingness to fully experience and understand your emotions. You might think alcohol is still a solution, but it's just masking deeper issues.
Mary argues that until you do the emotional work, you'll always feel deprived, chasing a fleeting sense of pleasure that only strengthens your attachment to drinking. Mary's approach is both compassionate and practical. She teaches her clients to find comfort in their emotional intelligence, making the dissociation caused by alcohol feel unsafe. By validating and understanding your emotions, you can break free from the cycle of addiction.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with alcohol, offering a fresh perspective on why moderation isn't the answer and how true freedom comes from within. Mary's insights are not just about quitting alcohol; they're about committing to yourself and tapping into your own desires. She provides a roadmap to emotional well-being, showing that the solution to your suffering lies in the very thing you're avoiding: your feelings.
Tune in to discover how embracing your emotions can lead to a life where alcohol is irrelevant.
