We help you with tips , tools and strategies to start living your best life when alcohol free . If you want to learn more about stop drinking coaching , then head over to wwwsoberclearcom .

See , there's only one thing that is standing in your way when you're trying to stop drinking alcohol , and this one thing makes stopping drinking harder , more difficult , and the chance of relapsing is 10 times higher . But if you can fix this one thing , I promise you quitting alcohol will be as easy as quitting milk or quitting orange juice .

If you can fix this one issue , stopping drinking will be the easiest thing you've ever done in your life , and that's exactly what I'm going to show you how to do today . So make sure to watch this video in full , because by the end of it there will be a shift . You will start seeing alcohol in a completely different frame of mind .

But to understand this thing that's getting in the way of you actually stopping drinking , I need to go back a little bit when I was this close to cancelling my flight and letting down a bunch of people . So right now I'm back home , I'm in Dubai and I've just returned from Thailand .

So I went to Chiang Mai and I went to Bangkok with , or my girlfriend , and we had a bunch of things to do . It was about a year ago . A friend of ours got married .

We couldn't make it to the wedding and he's just built a house in Chiang Mai and because we didn't make this wedding , I always promised that when his house is finished , we would love to come and stay . So we went there . Or my girlfriend . She's Thai , so we want to go to America this year . So she had to go and get a visa .

You don't know how lucky you are with passports , right Like I can go to America easily because I have a British passport . She had to go and do an interview and the success rate of Thai citizens getting US visas is extremely low . Thank God , she actually got the visa , so that's pretty good news .

I had to sell my car and we had to deal with Ford because I bought a car when I was living in Thailand , like 2022 . We also had to see my girlfriend's family . Well , we didn't have to , but we were there to see them . I made that sound a little bit bad , and then also , I had friends to see as well .

So I've you know , I've got quite a lot of friends in Bangkok , so I had a lot of people to catch up with and I'm not going to lie , this is a busy , busy trip with lots of jobs , lots of tasks . It wasn't really a vacation , but it was a trip that I knew I had to make .

But because I knew there was so much stuff to do and I knew it was going to cost a small fortune flights , hotels , et cetera and it wasn't really a vacation . There was no real reward other than seeing friends .

I was very apprehensive to go and I'm not going to lie , there was a point where I was just I was on the verge of cancelling the whole trip and just saying , whatever , let's try and fix the car remotely , we'll see them another time .

And you will see how this is all related to the thing that I'm going to break down , that's going to help you quit drinking . But the reason why I felt so apprehensive was because I was worrying about the future . I was thinking about all the things that could happen , all the effort that's going to be required , the multiple flights , the you know .

I was just stuck in my head thinking all these different things and it made me feel this overwhelm , this stress , and I didn't want to feel stress if I'm going on a vacation and I was honestly this close to cancelling .

But I didn't cancel because that was just a reaction to the feeling of stress and obviously I ended up going and I had a great time and I didn't feel stress once during the whole trip . The time I felt most stressed was when I was back in my home in Dubai here . Do you see where I'm getting at here ?

See , once the driver came and picked us up and we were on the flight and we were arriving in Bangkok and we got to the airport , got our stuff , got to the hotel , I didn't feel a single bit of stress during that entire period . The only time I felt stress was when I was thinking about doing it .

But as soon as I started doing it , all that stress disappeared . See , this is the exact same feeling that people get when they think about stopping drinking . They get this feeling of fear , of stress , of overwhelm , and they think to themselves how the hell am I going to be able to deal with life without this drug ? So they do what I was going to do .

They just think you know what . Let's deal with this later , like we can do this another time , let's just put it off . Put it off and put it off . But we have this fear of the future . How are we going to be able to deal with life without alcohol ?

But the reason why I wanted to make this video for you today and break this down for you is because I've not drank for six years , despite struggling for 10 years the 10 years that I was stopping and starting drinking I felt that fear all the time . But after not drinking for six years , I want to make a promise to you .

I want to sit down face to face and tell you something right now that you need to hear . You have got nothing to fear . The same way that I was stressed about going on this big trip is a normal feeling . If you're feeling some kind of stress about not drinking alcohol , that's totally okay .

But I want you to know that once you start putting things in motion , once you start changing your beliefs , doing the first principles , thinking , doing the research , once you start progressing and doing this kind of stuff , and once you finally make the decision to stop drinking , all those feelings will melt away . And I want to tell you something important here .

See the reason why the stress disappeared as soon as I actually started traveling , because by the time the driver had picked me up , I had then made the decision . See , the problem was , when I was back home , I'd paid for the flights , but I was thinking of backing out . I hadn't made that true decision , despite booking the flight .

I knew there was still a way for me to get out of it . But as soon as I decided right , we're going , we packed our bags , we're in the car , that's it . The decision's made . And my problem is that I hadn't truly decided to go until pretty much the day that we went . And this is the exact same when you're stopping drinking alcohol .

We think about stopping drinking , we think about making the decision , and we put off the decision , and we put it off and put it off , and put it off . But I promise you one thing Once you make the decision , the true decision to say enough is enough , I'm getting rid of alcohol , I'm promising you one thing it isn't hard .

I'm promising you one thing it isn't hard , it isn't difficult , it's easy . It's as easy as brushing your teeth in the morning , as walking through a park . There's nothing hard about not drinking . The hard thing is making the decision . It's coming to the realization that I'm actually going to do this .
