It has so little to do with alcohol and all about your own beliefs, of giving yourself permission to not only no longer want alcohol, but really permission to let the thought that I don't like this anymore become the dominant thought in your brain and to realize every time that you do have an urge or a craving, that it's simply biology and that what's waiting on the other side of alcohol for you is the relief that you deserve, the relief that you actually desire.
Ever felt like alcohol has been a significant part of your journey, only to realize it’s more of a detour than a destination? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff challenges the narrative that alcohol is essential to our past or future. She digs into the idea that while alcohol might seem like a big part of your story, it’s actually just a roadblock that distorts your experiences and memories.
Rather than seeing a future without alcohol as an empty void, Mary invites you to see it as a canvas full of possibilities. Mary emphasizes that alcohol’s influence on your life is not as profound as it might seem. It’s a substance that overrides your natural responses and inhibits your memory. By examining the evidence and not just relying on conditioned memories, you can start to see a future where alcohol isn’t the focal point.
This episode is a call to action to spend some time reflecting on what’s truly holding you back and to recognize that it’s time for alcohol to take a backseat. Listeners are encouraged to take small, manageable steps towards a life without alcohol, understanding that cravings are simply biological responses, not insurmountable obstacles. Mary’s compassionate approach offers a refreshing perspective, urging you to tap into your own desires and align with your personal vision and dreams.
If you’re ready to rethink your relationship with alcohol and explore what lies beyond it, this episode is a must-listen.
