Embrace Your True Self: Mary Wagstaff on Living Alcohol-Free

The process of changing your relationship with alcohol is also the process of becoming yourself.
Why do we often turn to alcohol to feel more... complete? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives into the heart of this question. She challenges the notion that alcohol can fill the gaps in our lives, suggesting instead that it often masks our true selves. When we say, 'Alcohol makes me more confident, fun, or relaxed', we're really saying, 'I'm not enough as I am'. This episode is a journey into self-acceptance and resilience.
Mary emphasizes the importance of embracing who you are right now and creating a safe space to explore your emotions. She delves into the language we use about ourselves and how it shapes our reality. With deep compassion, she encourages listeners to offer themselves the same motherly love and care they would give to others. Mary also highlights the dangers of trying to moderate drinking, explaining how it can keep you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt.
Instead, she advocates for a holistic approach to living alcohol-free, one that involves deep emotional work and self-soothing practices. Through one-on-one coaching, Mary helps individuals uncover hidden emotions and build a life where alcohol is no longer the focal point. Ready to start your journey to becoming your true self?
