Millions of people keep quitting alcohol .
It's like everywhere you turn , somebody else has just got sober . Celebrities keep talking about it . For a while I thought maybe this is temporary , but since that day I swear to Christ , I have not ever wanted to drink once . Thought leaders keep talking about it .
So yeah , alcohol is bad news and it can turn perfectly good people into quite the impulsive and dim-witted monsters . Even politicians talk about their decision to not drink alcohol and to this day , I've never had a drink and I have no longing for it . I have no interest in it . To this day , I've never had a cigarette .
Don't worry , those are only two of my good things . I don't want to tell you about the bad thing . But the question is is why ? Why are millions of people quitting alcohol ? What's going on ? I've noticed it's happening more and more , and I'm sure you have as well . So today I'm going to break down three reasons why so many people are stopping drinking .
And I promise you the third reason . If that resonates with you , you are on the right path . Just wait , you need to watch . All three reasons , but the third one . I'm telling you it will make sense . And just before we get into things , a quick introduction . My name is Leon Sylvester .
I'm the founder of SoberClearcom and we're a coaching company that works with business owners and professionals and we help them control their drinking quickly . We use a new method which involves shifting your beliefs using something called first principles thinking , and then we use coaching instead of therapy .
And going to the past , we use a future-focused coaching approach , as well as having a like-minded community of business owners and professionals to do this with .

And now let's get into the reasons . So the first reason is we need to flip things around Rather than asking ourselves why are so many people quitting alcohol . Well , we need to ask ourselves why are so many people drinking alcohol in the first place ? Because what is alcohol ? Well , alcohol is one of the most addictive drugs on the planet .
It's nothing more than drinking like diluted poison diluted ethanol the same thing that we use to spray on our hands to destroy bacteria is the same stuff that we're ingesting . So the question is why are so many people drinking ? It causes cancer . It causes damage to pretty much every single cell in our body , yet people keep drinking this stuff .
So what's actually happening is people are starting to ask this question . They're asking themselves why do people keep drinking ? And the problem is is that we live in a world with mass delusion . People see alcohol as something that adds value to their life . It adds nothing to anybody's life because it's a drug .
It's a highly addictive , dangerous drug that will damage everything in your body , and people are starting to wake up to the truth about alcohol . People are starting to see it for what it is . Everybody's addicted to a drug . They don't drink because they like it . They don't drink to relax . They don't drink to calm down after a difficult , stressful day .
People drink alcohol because they are addicted to an addictive drug and it is pushed upon us all the time . And if you've watched my channel for a while , you start to see this .
You start to see through the nonsense , you start to see through the excuses people make , you start to see through the marketing , through how it's portrayed in the media , all of this stuff . You start to become aware and you just start waking up to the lies that are fed all the time .
So this is the first reason why so many people are stopping drinking is because they're asking themselves why drink ? What's the point ? Because when you seriously consider that question and you get to the answer , you start to wake up . So the second reason why so many people are stopping drinking is because it's a bit like a city .
So I live in Dubai , and Dubai people are a bit shocked when I say that I live in Dubai . They're like why would you live in Dubai ? That's like in the middle of nowhere , it's in the desert , it's hot . Why do you live there ? And I mean , it's obviously becoming more popular , but a lot of people . They're just like why would you do that ?
Now , one thing that attracts a lot of people to Dubai are the tax laws .
You pay 9% corporation tax and 0% personal income tax , so this is obviously attractive to a lot of entrepreneurs , but what happened is in Dubai is there was a famous entrepreneur that moved to Dubai , and this individual was a very influential person and he influenced a lot of other people to come here and literally thousands of people started moving here .
So his influence might have brought 20 people , and then those 20 people might have brought 20 people each .
And this is what happens in a city the more people that move to a city , the more people that move to a city , and that's how cities get bigger , and that's another reason why I love living in Dubai , because there's such a great community here of like-minded individuals , lots of entrepreneurs , people with online businesses , agencies , websites , this kind of stuff .
But anyway , back to why so many people are stopping drinking . Well , what's happening is more and more people are sharing their experience . For example , I've got this YouTube channel with over 20 million views . That's a lot of people that have heard my message . You've got famous celebrities that share their message .
You've got famous thought leaders that share their message , and with the internet , people are sharing their experience . People aren't holding back anymore . So what do you think happens ? Well , the more people that stop drinking and share their experience and the more people that hear that message .
It's like a city the more people that stop , the more people that stop , and so on . So it's becoming more common . But the third reason that I'm going to break down for you is the real game changer , because this one is all about you . So let me explain this . So have you ever been in the market for a new car ? So I have .
So I recently bought a new car and I knew what model that I wanted , and I remember I had this rental car right . So I'm driving around in this MG and then , all of a sudden , all I could see was the car that I wanted . It was like there was thousands on the road and I never saw them . It was like there was 10 every time that I went out to drive .
A car that I'd never really noticed before was just everywhere . It's all I could see . This has happened to me in the past when I lived in Thailand , and I remember I was riding a scooter right , so I'd ride this 125cc scooter everywhere , and I remember I learned to ride a proper motorcycle , so I would ride my friend's bike .
We went on some big trips and he offered to sell me the bike . What do you think happened ? I couldn't see scooters anymore . All I could see on the roads were motorbikes . And what's happening is it's your reticular activating system and it's just hyper aware to the things that you want . See , this happens to me all the time .
When there's something that I'm thinking about , it just starts popping up everywhere . It's bizarre . I start seeing it on YouTube , in movies , with friends . I'm just like it's everywhere . And right now , if you were seeing more and more people stopping drinking , guess what ? Maybe there aren't more people stopping drinking ?
There definitely are , right , but maybe five years ago you wouldn't have even noticed , you wouldn't have even paid a single second of attention . The same way that if somebody wants to buy a Rolls Royce or they see Rolls Royces they're blind to every other car . They don't see Toyotas , they don't see Mercedes . All they can see is the car that they want .
But then if they were in the market for another car , then all they can see is that car . Do you see what I'm saying ? See , maybe a few years ago you wouldn't have noticed people stopping drinking because you had no interest in it . And even if you've not stopped drinking .
Yet if you're struggling , if you're still trying , this is one of the best signs that can happen to you , if you keep seeing people stopping drinking . It's a beautiful , beautiful thing , because it means that you are waking up . It means that you're becoming aware to this being a possibility for you as well , because it is possible for you to change .
It's possible for you to change your relationship with alcohol . Thanks for checking out the Stop Drinking podcast by Sober Clear If you want to learn more about how we work with people to help them .
