When Quitting Alcohol, You MUST Do THIS First

If you're thinking of stopping drinking or controlling your drinking or taking a break from drinking , you need to watch this video , because there's something that you need to do before you make that decision . Today , in this video , I'm going to break down exactly what you need to do to fix the root cause of your drinking .

This is going to be something that you will have never heard before . I'm not going to be talking to you about childhood trauma or being born with some genetic disorder , like some genetic thing in your family . I'm not going to call you an alcoholic .

In fact , by the end of this video , you're not even going to need to use willpower Because , like I said , we are going to fix the root cause of your drinking . How do I know how to do this ? Well , my name is Leon Sylvester . I'm the founder of SoberClearcom , which is a coaching company that helps business owners and professionals stop drinking .

I've not drank myself for over six years I've made 600 videos talking about not drinking . I've been featured already in Men's Health , I've been on national news , I've helped hundreds of clients stop drinking and , in short , what I'm going to tell you today works . It'll be like nothing you ever heard before , so let's dive straight into it .

But to understand this , I need to tell you how I figured it out , and I actually figured this out by surrounding myself with criminals and drug dealers as a teenager . Sounds weird , but just wait . So I grew up in the north of England and I didn't grow up in the best area .

I grew up in a council house , which is like welfare housing , and as a young man in the world , I didn't have a great deal of positive influences . You know , a lot of people that I was around were criminals . They sold drugs , they drank alcohol .

You know , I don't know what happened , but it was like I was just attracting bad things into my life and for some strange reason , at about maybe 18 years of age , I started reading this American self-help content . You know things like Dale Carnegie how to Win Friends and Influence People , the Way of the Superior man . There was Tim Ferriss .

There were these authors when I was young that I started reading and for the first time in 18 years , something started shifting in my mind and you'll see how this is all related to alcohol very shortly . But for the first time in my life , after getting these new inputs into my mind , I started thinking positively .

I was no longer thinking what's the point of life ? Why bother , why try ? You're never going to make it . And for the first time ever , these new ideas came into my mind of why not you as well ?

Now , the self-help genre , the business genre I mean , some people love it , some people hate it , but at that age it was the best thing that ever happened to me . For the first time ever , I had hope . I had a vision for a better quality of life .

Now , listen , despite having this hope and this vision and thinking I could be successful , I still had a battle with alcohol . I battled alcohol for close to 10 years . But having this new worldview that I could be somebody , I could be better , changed my life forever . There's no question about it and I'll never forget .

Growing up , there was a girl at high school that said to me Leon , you're either going to be rich , dead or in prison . And I'll never forget it . And as a teenager , my life was on the wrong trajectory . But with these new ideas , these new inputs , this new way of thinking , everything started to change .

And I'll never forget watching this YouTube video of this guy that explained how an online business worked . And he just explained the steps , the process , the individual parts of the online business . He explained how it worked , and that was another thing . It was a free video I watched online where I was like , oh my days , I can do it as well .

And at the end of the day , that's why I make these videos right . Other people gave freely to me through books , through videos , through content , through whatever , and they helped me change my thinking .

And that's what I'm trying to do with these videos as well is I'm trying to help you shift your thinking , to start seeing alcohol for what it is , to start seeing alcohol as the one thing in your life that's holding you back , that's slowing you down , that's giving you nothing . So , anyway , let's bring it back to alcohol . What's going on here ?

Well , it's a formula we have inputs , we have beliefs and we have outputs . When I was growing up as a teenager , I had a ton of negative inputs which then created certain beliefs You're not good enough , you're never going to make it , there's no point . We then created outputs , which was why my life was such a disaster in my early , early years .

Now , also in this formula , is you also have feedback . You can look at the outputs that you're creating and then you can then look back at the inputs and then you can change those inputs . Now , whilst I was growing up , I didn't realize that I could change my inputs . I didn't know that I could do this .

But let's just look at this formula and think about alcohol . If you surround yourself with drinkers , with heavy drinkers , with people that drink , what are your inputs ? Oh , let's go for a beer . Oh , drinking's awesome . Oh , this , that , that .

But then don't forget , as well as the people that we've got around us , we've got these constant bombardment of inputs from media , from marketing messages , from all sorts of stuff , watching their product , placements in the movies , et cetera , et cetera , et cetera .

So we have all these inputs with alcohol , and all of these inputs are designed to get us to believe one thing that drinking alcohol is a good , positive , beneficial thing that enhances our life . That's it . That's the goal of all alcohol marketing . It's to get you to believe that alcohol is a good thing .

And then we've got our outputs , our results , and for 99% of the population , what happens ? Well , we've got these inputs , we've got this belief , and then the output is obviously to drink . And here's the root cause of 99% of drinking problems is they never change their inputs .

They wake up and go over , they say I'm going to stop drinking , I can't be bothered with this anymore . And then the cycle repeats . So how do we fix things ? How do we stop drinking ? Well , it's the exact same way that I was able to change my outlook and my beliefs very early on in life . I changed my inputs and listen , this is the secret .

This is how you stop drinking . You need to change your inputs , absolutely need . I don't care if you go to AA , I don't care if you're trying to do it on your own using willpower . If you join my program , I don't . It makes no difference .

You still need to change your inputs , because the inputs that you've had into your life up until this point have created beliefs which have created your drinking . And if you had different inputs and different beliefs , I promise you right now that you wouldn't drink ever again If I could put my mind and my beliefs and my ideas straight into your mind .

You would never drink again , because I don't see alcohol as something that enhances my life at all . I know for sure that alcohol will give me nothing . All it will do is take , take , take . And if you could see alcohol that way , it'd be like the flick of a switch . You'd be done for the rest of your life . But this is the first step .

It's changing your inputs . It's changing what information you're absorbing about alcohol , which is again which is why I make these videos . It's why I have a course element in my Stop Drinking program to give people new inputs to help them shift their beliefs , because that's the next step .

Right After getting these inputs , for long enough , your beliefs will start shifting , and beliefs are things that we can't change like that . It takes time , but eventually , once you start shifting your beliefs and you start seeing alcohol differently , then the output is to stop drinking or drink less .

Then , obviously , you also have the feedback side of this , which is doing some introspection . Right . It's really thinking okay , I didn't drink for a week now , how much better is my life , how much better do I feel ? Why is my wife looking at me differently ?

She seems happier with me , and what we're really trying to do here is create this positive feedback loop . Inputs is alcohol is poison . Belief is I don't want to drink . Output is not drinking . Feedback is okay wow , I've lost two pounds today . Let's do it again . And listen . If you've made it this far into this video , you're different .

You're not like 99% of people . Now , if you want help stopping drinking and you want help shifting your beliefs and having some totally new inputs , you've got two options .

You can either do it on your own , you can keep studying my videos , you can buy some books , you can watch other YouTube channels , you can get those ideas yourself , but if you want to make it quicker , more enjoyable , more predictable and more fun , then we should do it together . You and I should work together and shift those beliefs .
