Maz Compton - How Your Last Drink Could Be Your First Step Toward a Better You
Manage episode 474120284 series 3442301
Maz Compton just makes the alcohol-free decision feel like a no brainer! Today Maz talks to Bella's Alcohol Freedom Group about her powerful journey from being a successful radio host secretly struggling with alcohol dependence to living ten years alcohol-free and discovering her authentic self along the way. Maz covered many wonderful topics in this chat:
- Reaching career success while experiencing internal turmoil and alcohol dependence
- Using alcohol to manage social anxiety in a fast-paced, public-facing media industry
- Finding the courage to question drinking habits despite external success
- Experiencing a "Matrix pill moment" of clarity after 22 days without alcohol
- Moving from "not drinking" to self-discovery and self-compassion
- Creating new intentional friendships and redesigning social life around morning activities
- Handling life's challenges with greater resilience without using alcohol as a coping mechanism
- Remember, it's just one thing you don't have to do each day—drink alcohol. Keep it simple, focus on the 2-3 hour evening gap, and see what you discover about yourself along the way.
