Reconsider Your Relationship To Alcohol

Reconsider Your Relationship To Alcohol
Welcome back to the podcast! Braedy Mac thrilled to have you here. Currently, he’s enjoying the tranquility of his new home in Byron Bay, Australia, which is pretty much a dream come true. This place has everything he could wish for – a sauna, a cold plunge, a hot tub, plenty of space, and blissful silence away from the hustle and bustle. This experience has made him appreciate the importance of nervous system regulation in relationships. His connection with animals, like Cuca, teaches us valuable lessons in down-regulating our own nervous systems, creating comfort, and fostering deeper connections. The way we relate to animals and humans may be different, but we share similar nervous systems, with fight-or-flight responses and relaxation mechanisms. Before diving into today's topic, let's reflect on the significance of understanding nervous system regulation in our relationships.Nervous system regulation is a fundamental aspect of relationships, and it's a crucial focus in programs like Infant Waiting or ERC (Embodied Relationship Counsel). When we aim to connect with someone on a deep level, it's essential to start by understanding their nervous system. Identifying triggers, addressing trauma, and creating safety are key steps. Then, we delve into their emotional world and finally, their soul, revealing something profound and transcendent.Now, let's dive into a topic that has impacted his life significantly from a young age and continues to do so – alcohol. Alcohol is a complex and normalized substance in our culture. It's legal, socially acceptable, and often associated with celebration and relaxation. Braedy’s personal journey with alcohol began in a party setting – the typical way many of us start. Growing up in Canada, he played competitive ice hockey, and it became a tradition to celebrate wins and losses with a few drinks. Alcohol seemed like a great tool for socializing, connecting with friends, and letting loose.The decision to be completely sober has opened up incredible opportunities for me. It has brought me clarity, grit, and a deeper trust in myself. The journey hasn't been without its challenges – there were subconscious reflexes and habits related to alcohol that I had to confront and rewire. But the rewards have been worth it, and I'm now on a path to discovering my full potential without the influence of alcohol.Thank you for joining me in this beautiful new home, and if you found this conversation valuable, share it with a friend or leave a review.
