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.
