Do NOT Do This After Quitting Alcohol (PLEASE)

I don't care if you stop drinking with AA , with willpower , with therapy , with medication , with rehab , with reframing how you view alcohol . If you do not do what I'm going to tell you to do in this video , it is going to be a

disaster . And I don't want to be negative , I want to be realistic . I'm not trying to dissuade you from stopping drinking alcohol . I want to give you an actual game plan so you can make this change permanent .

See , after stopping and starting drinking for almost 10 years failing more times than I can count there was one crucial mistake that I made that kept me stuck , but after I fixed it , I've now not drank for seven years .

I've helped hundreds of clients in my coaching business in Sober Glit go through this very same change , and I'm telling you once they got to the other end of what I'm going to show you how to do in this video . It was the light bulb moment that they needed . I'm not saying you need to join my coaching program .

This is relevant to anybody who is trying to stop drinking alcohol , whether you drink one beer a week or whether you drink one bottle of vodka a day . It is going to apply Now if we haven't met yet . My name is Leon Sylvester . What I teach people to do is scientifically validated .

My company recently commissioned an academic psychologist to create a report on what I actually do and the report shows a 96% client-rated success rate . Now if you want to find the report , you can actually just go to Google Scholar and search Sober Clear System .

We're the only coaching program in the world that actually has a scientific report that is on Google Scholar . So if you just go and search Sober Clear System , you can learn a bit more about the work that we do . But , like I said , it doesn't matter if you use my approach or not . This video is going to be critical .

So before we stop drinking , before we even make this lifestyle change and remove this drug from our life , we're usually in a place of pain . If we're not in a place of pain , are we even going to bother changing ? Of course not . How many 18 year olds do you hear saying I'm never going to drink again . It very rarely happens .

They're loving life or sorry , 21 over . In the States it's 18 where I'm from , back in England . But when we get older the drinking usually increases and we get to a place where we really look at alcohol and think is this actually serving me ? And if you're watching this video now , then alcohol is probably causing some sort of pain in your life , right ?

Not feeling great . Maybe you've put on some weight , maybe it's causing some relationship problems , maybe you've had a health scare . I've had health scares . I've had all sorts of things happen to me because of alcohol and when I wanted to change I was in a place where alcohol was causing pain .

So I was down here and this pain has got me sober so many times but it never kept me sober sober and it's because I didn't do what I'm about to show you what to do . But we get to a place where alcohol causes pain and that can motivate us to change . That's when people go to an AA meeting , right ?

Nobody's walking into an AA meeting like , hey guys , I'm so happy to be here . Nobody's sitting with their doctor saying I'm scared about my liver because I'm drinking so much . They're not there because they're in a good mood and they're in a good place . No , alcohol is caused from pain and it's got us going . But this is the mistake .

What people do is they use the pain and then they think that that is enough . And that's when we do things like use willpower right . We just fight these urges that come up in our life . We just fight through them . We're strong people . We don't drink and that's

it . But I promise you , whatever method you choose , one day even people that I've worked with in coaching program they will get to this day . Everybody gets to this point . But you will reach a point where the pain has gone . You will feel a new baseline , a new normal .

Alcohol is no longer in the picture and you'll just feel how you were supposed to feel . Probably , you feel kind of like you did before you even started drinking . I've heard people say that . I've heard people in their 60s tell me they feel like 20 year olds again , and this is the point that you need to watch out for .

You need to watch out for this point , like your life depends on it , because it actually does . Alcohol is one of the biggest killers in the world . It kills almost 100,000 Americans every single year . But I promise you one thing the pain will eventually subside .

The most important thing that you can do when you stop drinking alcohol is you need something to go towards . It doesn't matter what method you choose .

Listen , if you're going to AA meeting and it's working , whatever , I'm not here to judge but if your life goal is just to not drink , what are you going to do once you've achieved that goal , once the pain is gone ? And I say achieve that goal because there is no goal when you stop drinking . This is another big mistake people do is they count the days .

They think that the longer they drink , the more that they're not a drinker . If they don't drink for a year , then they're more of a non-drinker than they were on day 30 . What I teach people to do , what I help people do , is make one decision to stop drinking and move on with their damn life .

But anyway , the point of this video is , regardless of what you do , is you need something to go towards , and the best way that you can do this is you need a new vision for your life . Now . My mum stopped drinking with AA . She hasn't drank for over 20 years , but I know that she had this when she stopped drinking alcohol . I know for a fact .

She had a vision for her life . She knew who she wanted to become , and , whilst AA wasn't for me , I tried . It didn't work . Not calling myself an alcoholic , Listen , going to criticize it , because that's not what this video is for .

What I'm trying to tell you is that she had something to go towards , because the pain eventually goes away , and we can't forget this . So what I would encourage you to do is , if you are thinking of stopping drinking or you've already got some momentum , have a vision . Write it down . Think about what you want your life to look like in five years from now .

How much money are you making ? What does your relationship look like ? What are you seeing reflected back in the mirror ? Are you seeing the person that you want to be ? How are you showing up in your marriage for your children ? And what we want to do is we want to put all of our energy going towards this version of ourselves .

This is something I did when I just stopped drinking alcohol . I had a vision board right . I had pictures of the person I wanted to become , and then I started seeing that alcohol does not fit into this vision at all . And then something switched . My identity changed .

I stopped seeing myself as somebody that was always struggling to not drink and somebody that had to fight these urges for the rest of my life . It was this switch , and I'd reframed

how I view alcohol . But then I started something different . I started seeing myself as somebody that just naturally doesn't drink because it didn't fit in to who I wanted to become . The version of me that could effortlessly achieve my dream did not drink alcohol , and I want you to ask yourself this question as well .

If you've got a dream for your life right , if you want a better life for yourself , for your family , think of who you need to become to achieve that dream , and I really want you to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror as a drinker and ask yourself if I drink alcohol , will I achieve this dream ?

Listen , maybe for some of you you don't feel like I did , because I know that if I drink alcohol , I will never achieve what I want . But I had to come to that conclusion myself . I can't come to that conclusion for you , and this is gnarly work , right ? Getting to this place in your head is painful , because you're really admitting that .

Okay , well , who I am right now ? They're not good enough and I need to evolve . I need to step into this new version of myself .

And I promise you one thing if you do this , when the pain of alcohol has gone , when you start to feel normal and you start to feel positive and you start to feel good , this idea of having just one drink , going back to being a normal drinker that pattern that I've been through more times than I can count it goes away Because there's a new version of you

that just logically doesn't drink . Now , if you want help getting into this state of mind where not drinking is a choice rather than a fight , then guess what ? Me and you can do this together . You don't need to do this on your own . It's an option , but it's just going to be a lot harder .
