How successful people quit alcohol (without trying hard)

There's a way that successful people stop drinking that isn't hard , it's not difficult and it's fast . In fact , it can happen in as little as 48 hours , and in today's video , I'm going to explain the quickest , most simple and easy way for you to stop drinking alcohol that millions of people are already doing .

This is something I applied in my own life and I haven't drank for almost six years . It's something I've taught 400 private clients to , including professionals from NASA , google , jp Morgan , forbes and , in short , this is going to change your life .

So if you could go to the average individual in the street that's trying to stop drinking alcohol and if you ask that person give me one word to describe how stopping drinking is for you , what kind of words do you think would come up ? Oh , it's depressing , it's boring , it's hard , it's difficult , I can't do it .

They'd give you a whole host of negative reasons and it would be very rare for you to meet somebody and they to say , I mean , I don't know , I don't think about it , but most people that stop drinking alcohol they find it difficult , they find it challenging and they find it hard .

Because if everybody found it easy , we wouldn't have rehabs , we wouldn't have therapists , we wouldn't have AA meetings , we wouldn't have naltrexone . Because if it was easy for everybody to stop drinking , nobody would drink . Everybody would wake up with that very first hangover and just say I'm good , but the world doesn't work like that .

So when somebody stops drinking alcohol and they use therapy , willpower , aa , they use any of these traditional methods , the difficulty level starts very low because motivation is high , pain is high , they want to change . So the difficulty level starts very low .

But over time what often happens is that if they don't change their relationship with alcohol and see it differently , is the difficulty level of stopping drinking increase very , very slowly over time .

Because if they're using you know , let's say they're using willpower , right , they're just gritting through it , and every time they think about drinking they just say , nah , not today . The longer that they go without drinking , the higher that alcohol gets upon a pedestal .

And what I mean by this is that if you keep resisting alcohol and you keep thinking about it and you keep actually wanting to drink it and then having this conversation with yourself and saying , nah , not drinking right now . Alcohol will just get higher and higher and higher , on a pedestal until one day it's so high .

I don't know , you've had a hard day at work , you're tired , you're hungry , and then you just say F it , I'm drinking . And quite often these relapses when people are using these old ways of stopping drinking can be very , very painful . People can often end up drinking more than before they stopped drinking .

So I've got a completely different way to do things , and it's actually flipping this graph upside down . See , the best way to do things is to use this thing called the plane method , and if you look on a graph right now , it's similar where we both start in a place of pain where it's very easy to get the ball rolling .

That first couple of days is usually okay , or maybe even the first few hours . It depends on the severity of somebody's drinking , but usually we can get the ball rolling even the first few hours . It depends on the severity of somebody's drinking , but usually we can get the ball rolling for the first few hours or first few days .

Now , what I recommend doing differently is instead of letting it increase slowly over time is you compress this graph , and what you do instead is you exert a ton of energy at the beginning of your journey .

You put intensity and time into solving this problem , because then what happens is , rather than it being difficult , it actually the graph kind of pulls down and then stopping drinking becomes easier and easier and easier . See a lot of people that find my content . They'll binge watch it and then they're leaving comments .

Leon , as soon as I found your channel , I've not drank for three years and these are people that haven't even hired me . I do have a coaching company . It's called SoberClearcom . We work with business owners and professionals . We help them control their drinking . But there are tons of people that will listen to my content and that's it . They don't drink anymore .

My clients they more want help , they want to be walked through a process , they want the accountability they want to commit to a full system rather than sporadic pieces of information . But either way , it's the same principle .

What people are doing is they're putting the time in at the beginning , they're reading everything they can , they're buying books , they're watching videos , they're really studying the problem and trying to change their worldview , and it's exactly what I did when I stopped drinking alcohol . I read for hours , hours and hours and hours and hours and hours .

See , I've put thousands of hours into research in alcohol and my worldview is impenetrable , which is why it is so easy for me to not drink . And also , in this graph that you can see , we've obviously got the intensity of reframing alcohol and studying and changing your perception and maybe hiring a coach .

But the second thing you can do in this part of the graph is gain momentum . Here is where you can start doing things like you know getting back to the gym , working on your business , spending more quality time with your family and you can start putting intensity into these kind of things .

Because , at the end of the day , what's the point of stopping drinking if you just want to sit around and watch Netflix all day ? There is no point . We want to stop drinking because we want to better ourselves and have a better quality of life , not only for ourselves , but also for the people that we love and the people that love us .

We want to create a better life for everybody . So , instead of doing it this old way and you know gritting through it and just slowly moving through and going through the motions . Compress that graph , put in the work in those first few weeks .

Get clear on what alcohol is and how it's doing nothing for you , and start improving your life , because that will put you on a trajectory that doesn't make stopping drinking more difficult . Over time , it becomes easier and easier and easier because you start seeing amazing results . Friends start asking you you're looking thinner , like what's going on ?

Friends start saying your energy is different , you look different , your skin's more vibrant , you're smiling , you're happy , you're nice to be around . And when you start hearing this feedback because you're putting in the work early on it becomes this positive feedback loop and stopping drinking gets easier and easier and easier until it's a total afterthought .
