"Failure tolerance isn't a flaw; it's a sign of resilience."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff shares the concept of 'failure tolerance'—a cycle many women find themselves in while trying to quit drinking. Mary talks about how repeated attempts to quit alcohol, even when disappointing, demonstrate resilience and belief in a better future. She challenges listeners to move beyond just being resilient and embrace transformation through intentional action.
The episode dives into the emotional callous that develops from repeated failures and how it can numb you to disappointment, making it harder to find true inspiration for change. Mary offers a fresh perspective on how failure tolerance isn't a flaw but a sign of resilience, urging listeners to shift their beliefs and place themselves at the centre of change rather than alcohol.
With her 90-day programme, she aims to guide women towards alcohol-free freedom, helping them to understand their own desires and break free from the habitual cycle of failure. If you've ever felt stuck in your attempts to quit drinking, this episode might be the spark you need to shift gears. Ready to take a step towards transformation?
