If you're going to stop drinking alcohol, there is something that you absolutely need to avoid. It doesn't matter what method you're using. It doesn't matter if you've gone to a rehab, it doesn't matter if you've gone to AA. It doesn't matter if you're doing this with a coach. It doesn't matter if you're doing it on your own. It doesn't matter if you're doing it just by watching my YouTube videos. Every single person needs to avoid this without failure, and whilst I'm not necessarily saying that you're going to relapse if you don't avoid what I'm going to tell you in this video, one thing for sure is the journey will be so much harder, and the goal of my channel and the goal of my business, sober Clear, where I work with business owners and professionals and I help them to stop drinking, is to make the process simple. Stopping drinking is the simplest thing that you can ever do. All you need to do is not put a drink to your mouth. It's not exactly hard, right? If I told you you have to stop eating croissants, you're going to have no problem with that, you just don't eat the croissant. The problem is is that we make it hard because of the way we've been conditioned to see alcohol. So what is it that you need to avoid? No-transcript. What you want to avoid doing is making not drinking alcohol the focus of your life, and what I mean by this is you don't want to make the past and the pain of not drinking alcohol the thing that keeps you sober. Neither do you want to identify as this person whose biggest achievement is to not drink alcohol. Now, that might sound as so contradictory for somebody who's got their YouTube channel called Sober Leon, but when I meet people, I don't tell them I'm some non-drinker that's stopped drinking alcohol for seven years. Look how great I am. The only reason why I tell you this is so you know that I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:On this topic to help you solve the same problem when I go and meet people in the street, they don't see me as this sober person. I don't make it a big deal in any way, because the problem with doing this is that if you make that your biggest life achievement, what are you telling yourself? Let's just break it down. If I go around saying I've not drank, it's been so hard, it's been so challenging and I'm so proud that I'm seven years without a drink and again, some people are going to disagree with me on this, but there's this weird sub-communication that's happening, saying that alcohol was actually something that you enjoyed, something that you missed dearly, so of course, it feels like an achievement.
Speaker 1:Can you stay sober, feeling this way? Of course, in fact, this is kind of the foundation of Alcoholics Anonymous. We admit that we're powerless over alcohol and there's no known cure for this disease, and we sit around in meetings and we talk about the pain that alcohol causes in our life. I don't go to AA, I'm saying us. Hopefully you get the idea, but I did try it. I went for about 90 days, not for me. My mum's been for 20 years. No thanks, I'm not labelling myself an alcoholic because I truly believe the words that we give ourselves have so much power and if I call myself powerless, I'm going to believe I'm powerless, but I'm not powerless.
Speaker 1:Yes, but here's the big problem. When I did this in the past, it would keep me sober for a few months, maybe a few weeks In fact. There was a period where I went six, seven, eight months. By doing this. I threw up blood on a computer and the pain got me sober. I stopped drinking. But eventually the pain went away and I had this great idea that this time, of all the other times that I tried to add alcohol back into my life as a normal drinker, this time was going to be different. And guess what happened? You already know I fell flat on my face for the hundredth time. I had to rebuild my life from zero, all because I had this big idea of having just one drink.
Speaker 1:But the problem is, the only thing that got me sober was pain, and every time I thought about alcohol is I just resist it. I'd just be like nah, I don't drink, I'm just going to fight the urge. And I'm not saying you should forget the pain, I'm not saying that you should disregard it and just completely ignore it. But there has to be another step. It doesn't matter what approach you're taking. I'm not trying to judge people that are doing it this way and that way. I don't care, it makes no difference to me. I just want you to fix the problem.
Speaker 1:But instead of making the pain the focus, instead of making stopping drinking alcohol your biggest achievement, you need to focus on what's next. The big thing that made a difference in my life, the big thing that makes a difference in the lives of the people who I help, is having a vision. It's having a vision of the version of you that's killing it, that has the financial life they want, that has the health that they want, that has the family that they want. And what we want to do is, instead of just making not drinking alcohol this massive achievement and the longer that we go without alcohol, the more of a non-drinker that we are this is all communicating, the totally wrong thing, and when I say communicating, I mean self-communicating. It's the way that you're viewing the whole situation and the way that you're talking to yourself Once you stop drinking. You want to measure your life by how successful you become, and the way that you become successful is you have wins.
Speaker 1:We can't control how good our life gets. We can't control exactly how much money we'll make, how successful our marriage will be, how successful our health will be, but what we can control are the daily inputs. So, instead of making not drinking alcohol the big win if you can make a vision for your life of where you want it to go and you can have daily wins where you're moving towards that vision, where you're waking up at the right time, you're putting in the work, you're eating the right foods, you're showing up in your family life, the way that you want to show up when you make that the win, and just almost not necessarily ignore the past, but just kind of put it aside and move on, the same way that a celiac moves on, the same way that a lactose intolerant person moves on. If we can just move past alcohol and then start these daily wins, guess what starts happening? These wins start stacking and, like I said, whilst we can't control exactly how good we're going to look in the mirror or exactly how big our business is going to become, whatever it is that you're working on, what you can control are the daily wins. So, instead of measuring not drinking alcohol is the ultimate success, just get past it, and we want to measure success by how much action we are taking in the direction of the life that we actually want.
Speaker 1:Like I said, it doesn't matter what approach you're doing here If you want to use first principles thinking. If you want to watch my YouTube videos, if you want to work with me directly, if you want to go to AA, that's up to you. I'm not here to dictate and say you should do it this way. No different things are going to work for different people. So, regardless of what approach that you choose, just make sure to know what direction you want your life to go in and, instead of measuring how long you've not drank, for measure the wins that you have, because that is when, in six months from now, you almost don't recognize yourself. That's what I want for you. I don't want you just to be some sober person. I want you to reach the next level in your life, and I know you can do it.
