Alcohol tore my life apart, and it didn't just happen once. It tore my life apart so many times. I lived for almost 10 years on this up and down roller coaster of binge drinking, sometimes daily drinking. Alcohol was the cause of so much damage in my life. I lost a business because of alcohol. I destroyed a relationship because of alcohol. My family were worried about me at times. I ran out of money in the past, had to borrow money off friends and family, and the underlying factor in all of this was always one thing it was alcohol. Now, I know that's not everybody's experience, and if you've clicked on this video, that might not be your experience either. Sure, you might be in a place where you know it's damaging things. You know that it's upsetting your family, it's upsetting people around you and, most importantly, it's upsetting you. But alcohol might not have beaten you down to the place that it beat me down to.
Speaker 1:When I stopped drinking. I was at ground zero and it was a very painful place to be in. I knew in my heart that if I kept on the path that I was on, I was probably going to end up dead in the next few years. And when you come to a realization like this, it's pretty easy to start shifting your beliefs, to start seeing alcohol or something that isn't going to add anything to your life never has, never will, never can and to have that happen at 25 years of age, however old I was I don't even know how old I was, I don't count the days. I don't even know the date that I stopped drinking still to this day, I don't even look but it was like five and a half years ago. But to have that happen at such a young age and to wake up so early was a blessing. But I know most people that watch this channel. They're not in the same situation that I was in. So today I wanted to make this video to check in with you. I wanted to check in with you and I wanted to talk to you about you and your journey.
Speaker 1:At the end of the day, if you are watching videos like mine, if you've just clicked on this video out of all the videos that you could have watched, because right now you could be watching some MrBeast video, you could be watching some podcast, some entertainment, but instead you've clicked on a video that was probably a little bit uncomfortable for you to click on. Just to actually sit down and listen to somebody talk about a problem that you're facing in your life is uncomfortable, especially for people that drink, because every time they feel uncomfortable, guess what happens? Well, we want to escape that emotion. It makes us want to drink, because what are we doing every time that we drink? We're escaping. But you've clicked on this video and we're having a conversation, we're having some dialogue about it, and for that I want to say that I respect you. I just wanted to get that out of the way. I wanted to say that I respect you so much for listening to this message, but my intention with making this video is to make this the last video that you ever watch when it comes to not drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1:You know people send me podcasts all the time. They send me podcasts from this person. You know this clip from this person talking about not drinking. Listen, I'll be entirely honest with you. I never click on any of them. I don't look what anybody else is doing. I don't look what anybody else is saying about alcohol, not from a place of arrogance, not from a place of thinking that I'm better than this. It's from a place of knowing that I don't need to change my worldview anymore. I don't need any new information about alcohol because I know exactly what it is. I don't need to learn about the health effects. I don't need to learn about how it could damage my life, because in my heart, I know that alcohol does nothing for me, and my intention with making this video today is to get you there as well.
Speaker 1:And hey, by the way, I'm not saying that watching those videos is a bad thing. I know plenty of people that have even hired me to join my stop drinking coaching program, people that do feel like they don't want to drink anymore. They still watch my videos, they still watch the podcast. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, because it would be like watching the repeat of a football game again, again, again, again, again. But at this point, I've worked with almost 400 people now. I've worked with almost 400 people in a stop drinking coaching program, and there is literally one thing that every single one of those people have done that has helped them to stop drinking. And what I want to do for you in this video is break down that one thing. Listen, I'm not going to try and sell you anything. You don't need to buy anything. It's simply a switch in your thinking and we're going to unpack that in this video today because I want you to get there as well. Now, with all of my clients, there's a common theme, and the common theme is that when they actually start working with me, when they join the coaching program sobaclearcom if you want more information on that they all are in a very similar situation. They've tried in the past and failed.
Speaker 1:I don't think there's a single person in my program that is trying to stop drinking first time around, because, if you actually think about it, every single person that says to themselves right, I'm not drinking anymore. You know, when you wake up with that hangover or you feel a bit bad the next day and you're like, oh, I'm never gonna do that again. If everybody actually stuck to that, nobody would drink. I mean, who actually ever sticks to that? I personally don't think that there's a single drinker in the planet I'm not talking about like the heavy drinkers. I'm talking about every single drinker in the world. I don't think there's a single one that exists that has looked at the bottle of wine, even if they only drink a glass a week, and thought to themselves do I really need this? Is this really? Is it really necessary? And I don't think there's a single one that's thought to themselves. Maybe I should just stop Now. Clearly there are people that do have that thought and they never drink again, but the ones that are still drinking today have clearly lied to themselves. But anyway, back to what I was saying.
Speaker 1:Every single person that I've worked with has tried in the past and either failed or found it extremely difficult. They've always had this nagging voice in their head that's like I just wanna drink, I just wanna drink, I just wanna drink. They'll always feel this feeling of missing out and for some people they will feel like that is just how they're gonna be for the rest of their life. They're never gonna fix this problem and they will go on feeling this way about alcohol for the rest of their life. But the thing that every single one of my clients have done that's made them successful is said do you know what? I'm gonna try something different this time. I'm not gonna do it the way that I've done it in the past. I'm gonna do something completely new. They didn't give up. They didn't just throw in the towel and say, oh do you know what? Maybe I do have a disease, maybe I am an alcoholic, maybe I'm born this way and I'm gonna die this way and there's nothing I can do about it. Do you know what they said to themselves? Is they picked themselves up and they said I'm gonna give this one last try, because that is all it takes. It takes one last try for you to actually solve this problem. The day that you solve this problem isn't gonna be 100 more attempts. It's not gonna be 100 more failures. The day that you decide to stop drinking for real will just take one last try. That's a courageous step. That's a hard step for a lot of people to make. I'll give you my moment as an example.
Speaker 1:She tried to stop drinking on her own so many times and she said to herself do you know what? I'm gonna try one more thing. She went to a 12-step meeting. Her courage to say do you know what? I'm not ready to just live my life this way forever and die this way. I'm gonna go and do something different. And she went to a 12-step meeting saved her life. Her willingness to try a different thing that was different to what she tried in the past saved her life. I tried that path as well. Aa wasn't for me.
Speaker 1:What I'm trying to say is it's not about the method, it's not about the steps that you take. It's about the inner conversation that you have with yourself to say I'm gonna try one more time. And, most importantly, is to look at what you've already tried in the past and admit to yourself that whatever you've been doing up until this point hasn't worked. Because you know what? If it was working, you would already be sober.
Speaker 1:For most people, they need a system. For some people, they find it in the 12 steps. It is a system, it's a program, it's a set of principles that they follow. I offer a system. I offer a first principles thinking system with coaching, with accountability. But hey, do you know what? Maybe my way of doing things isn't the way for you. Maybe the 12-step way of doing things isn't for you. Maybe you're gonna try something completely different. Maybe you're gonna check yourself into a seven day retreat, detox yourself and then get on with things.
Speaker 1:I don't know what the answer is for you, but I know one thing that unless you say to yourself, I'm giving this one more go and I'm gonna do it differently this time, I'm gonna try something new, it pains me to say this, but you're probably gonna keep making the same mistakes.
Speaker 1:When you keep telling yourself that I'll just try again, I'm just gonna stop, I'm just gonna do it on my own, I'm not gonna tell anybody, and that's already failed you 100 times, and then to think this time is gonna be different, I'm sorry, but it's lying to yourself and I don't wanna call you out. I'm not trying to discourage you, but when you finally admit to yourself that maybe what I've been doing hasn't been working, that's where true power lies, because it's the power to step towards something else that could be a good match for you.
