Coping with Cravings... with Mary Ann Shearer

Tribe Sober - Your guide to alcohol-free living!

This week I'm chatting to an inspirational woman Mary Ann Shearer who is a best selling author and a motivational speaker.

In this Episode

• Mary Ann is a woman before her time and was advocating veganism thirty years ago!
• Her first book "The Natural Way" was written more than 20 years ago
• She explained that if you give your children lots of sweet things it sets them up for alcohol dependency later in life
• Mary Ann had alcoholic parents and as a result she craves order and control and has never drunk alcohol
• We agreed that children of alcoholic parents tend to be like her - or they tend to follow the pattern of their parents
• She advised people who have stopped drinking to satisfy their cravings by eating fresh fruit not chocolates or sweets
• Our bodies need glucose and eating fresh fruit satisfies the craving for alcohol
• Mary Ann feels that alcoholics are clever people who need a creative outlet - sobriety will give them the time and space to find one
• She explained the damage that alcohol does to our endocrine system - and how it makes menopause much worse
• To find out more about Mary Ann go to her website - https://maryannshearer.com/ - her book is called "Perfect Health - The Natural Way" available on Amazon
