Alcohol is blocking right now, especially if you're feeling the consequences of it the day after. And it's totally okay that you're here right now. That like, maybe today is not going to be like the my day, but it doesn't. If we simply turn that energy into ourselves and claim that personal responsibility and kind of rise above the noise of that hype that we have to fix a broken system, we end up giving it more power because we're focused more on it.
Why does alcohol seem so significant, even when it adds no real value to your life? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives into this perplexing question. From birth, we face trauma and societal pressures that shape our behaviors. Often, alcohol becomes a way to numb the disconnect between who we are and who we think we should be.
Mary explains how alcohol is merely a temporary illusion, offering no real solution to our deeper issues. Instead, she encourages listeners to see alcohol as neutral and make conscious choices from a place of nonjudgmental awareness. She shares practical tips on adding genuine meaning to your life and overriding the habit narrative that alcohol is important. Mary’s insights help shift the perspective from life happening to you, to life happening as you.
By rising above the noise that alcohol creates, you can start to embrace your true self without apology. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from alcohol's numbing effects and reclaim their authentic self.
