In a world where alcohol often seems like the go-to solution for life's challenges, Mary Wagstaff presents a fresh perspective on the Stop Drinking and Start Living podcast. In this episode, 'Why It Was Never About The Wine - Attachment vs. Desire', Mary explores the underlying reasons behind our cravings for alcohol. She argues that it's not the drink itself that we're after, but the emotions we associate with it—connection, joy, and freedom.
Mary explains how our brains have learned to equate alcohol with emotional relief, creating a narrow perspective that insists drinking is the only path to happiness. But what if that's not true? By distinguishing between desire and attachment, Mary sheds light on how our attachment to alcohol limits us from achieving what we truly want. Through engaging anecdotes and relatable insights, Mary encourages you to examine your own desires and attachments.
She introduces the idea of high-level values and how understanding them can motivate you beyond just quitting drinking. With her Sobriety Starter Kit and private coaching, she offers practical tools to help break the cycle of alcohol dependence. Mary's compassionate and empowering approach provides a sense of hope and possibility for those seeking to live a life free from alcohol's grip. If you're ready to explore what truly makes you happy, this episode might just be the catalyst you need.
