Life Beyond Drinking with Maz Compton
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll meet Maz Compton. Maz is a TV presenter, radio announcer, one of Australia’s foremost entertainment reporters and author of The Social Rebellion: True Freedom begins with a cheeky month alcohol-free. Maz is on the show to talk about how her life has changed since she stopped drinking 5 years ago, and what you can expect in the first month and beyond.
Deciding to stop drinking – or deciding to take a break from drinking – is the first step in being able to reflect on your relationship with alcohol. But what happens next? On day 2, on day 23? After a year? After two years? What are the benefits? How does life change? How do you explain yourself to your friends who want you to drink with them still? How do you avoid replacing one bad habit with another habit… like eating too much chocolate?
If you’ve ever wondered about your relationship with alcohol, or maybe you are just a little bit interested in understanding more about what makes for problem drinking, then make sure you listen to this episode to hear Fiona and Maz get really honest about their experience of life beyond drinking.
