WW3? It’s back?! Do NOT Drink ALCOHOL

Israel , as soon as we made the deal , they came out and they dropped a load of bombs , the likes of which I've never seen before , that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing . Do you understand that Nobody really knows what's going on ? Sure , we get politicians telling us what's going on .

We get news headlines telling us what's going on . There are people that are in these countries where these conflicts are happening that tell us what's going on , but it all feels very uncertain . Nobody really knows what's around the corner .

A lot of people are afraid right now of a major global conflict Because , relatively speaking , the world is quite peaceful at the moment .

I don't want to downplay the wars that are going on , but I want to remind you that in World War II , over 70 million people died right Like sure , there's wars , there's fighting , there's conflict , but I'm not here to talk to you and give you history lessons and comment on what's going on with geopolitics at the moment .

What I want to do is I want to bring this back to alcohol , because if you were drinking alcohol right now and you've got concern over what's going on in the world , that's okay , but I want to give you a different perspective , one that will actually help you with your drinking problem .

See , the goal of this channel is never to get political and it's to never get religious . I don't want to divide people and whilst these things you know they are important , we all have a common enemy , and it's alcohol . So you'll never hear me get charged up on any opinion of politics or religion , but at the same time is we can't ignore

But , like I said , I want to give you a different perspective and you might just think I'm some young , naive , you know guy in his mid-30s . That's clueless , but I'm okay for you to judge me negatively on this opinion , but all I want to do is help

you with the drinking . So here we go . So when I stopped drinking alcohol , it was 2018 . After I stopped drinking alcohol for the first year , life went so well . I'd restarted my personal training business . You know I was rebuilding self-confidence . I was getting back into peak shape . I met my now fiance that I'm about to marry .

In fact , by the time this video comes out , there's a good chance that we might already be married , but life had been going in a really good direction . What I don't remember doing is in 2018 to 2019 was looking at any world events . And again , you might just think I'm naive , but just bear with me .

But then , one year later , what happened was I made a video about not drinking for a year and the video did really well . It got really good feedback .

It got thousands of views , hundreds of upvotes on Reddit , loads of people were commenting and I just shared my experience of not drinking for a year and this video really just launched me into a totally different career path , which was helping people stop drinking . At the time I had no idea . Long story short , I made a couple more videos .

Then I started actually talking to people , trying to help them with the problem . Lo and behold , my company was formed and that's when I created the Sober , clear system , scientifically validated approach to help people control their drinking in as little as 24 hours Not for everybody , but it happens . But we have this new approach that gets a 96% success rate .

You'll see where I'm going with this . So we're in about 2019 now . So I hadn't drank for a year and I'd really just kind of stayed focused right , I just stayed in my corner . I really just focused on becoming the person I wanted to be . I was working really hard .

I was in a new relationship now with my fiance , I'm back in the gym , just things were going in such a good direction . And then we all know what happened in 2019 . Boom , out of nowhere , the virus . I'm not going to say it because I don't know what happens if you mention that word . I don't know if YouTube end up putting this out to less people .

I'm not going to give you a history lesson on 2019 . We all know what happened . Everybody can remember it and I remember once it started , the lockdown started all these headlines were coming out of nowhere . I got sucked into the news so bad . I would look at the news every single day and up until this point , I just ignored the news .

Again , you might say I'm naive , but whatever right I was building my life , I'd stopped drinking . I didn't really care what was going on outside of my control . I just brought it back to what I could do . But in 2019 , everything shifted and I realized something so impactful .

But I could feel the emotions of fear that would come up after I'd look at these headlines

. I'd be scared , like we all were . We were being sold fear 24-7 . Why ? Because that's what media companies do . They want to sell fear . They want to put fear in your heart . So you click Because guess what happens ? You read the article . Advertisers will put their things on these publications and they'll make money .

So there's an incentive to sell you fear and I could feel this . I felt the fear , but I didn't know what to believe . I think a lot of us felt that way . You know , it was like everybody was kind of split and I felt like I was in the middle , but then it almost became political as well .

It was almost like in America the Democrats were all like pro-vaccine and then the Republicans were all now anti-vaccine and it just became this mess . And I got to a place where I thought do you know what ? I'm not looking at it anymore , and I came to a conclusion that I'm just going to ban myself from watching the news .

I'm just not going to look , because I would refresh it throughout the day multiple times a day to see what's happening . And , trust me , this is all going to be relevant to alcohol , and you might just think this is just a dumb take , but I don't care . It helped me with my journey not drinking , which is why I want to share it with you .

But I made a decision that , instead of looking at these headlines , I realised in the past I didn't use to watch the news and I kind of realised that whatever is really important is you're just going to hear about it in your day-to-day life . You might see a friend make a post on Facebook .

I didn't need to watch this mainstream media , so I just stopped myself from watching it and all of a sudden the stress , the fear was gone , and that's when I really just doubled down on helping people with alcohol and I built my business from the ground up .

Now I don't know if you've ever seen this picture before , but it's this picture of your locus of control . In life , we have got so many things that are outside of our control

. We cannot control these global conflicts . Maybe you can contribute in some way . If you want to go and fight , if you want to go and protest , if you're really that way inclined , fair enough , but we really don't have that much control over it .

So if you look at this picture of your locus of control , we don't have control over things like how our friends will react to us , how our family will behave .

We don't have control over so many things , in fact , most of life we have no control over , but we do have control over our individual actions , and what I've found that's happened to me over the past week or two is I just got sucked back into current events and it's been something that I've really just tried to keep away from for years now .

And that thing that I was talking about of how important news people will often tell me it really was true , but I was just kind of naive to what was going on in the world and I just focused on my YouTube channel , on helping you viewers that watch this video , with helping my clients in my Stop Drinking program , because those things were what I had control

over . And listen , I'm sure some of you are going to argue and say no , it's really important , you need to know what's going on in the world . And I'm not saying that this is binary right , there's no right and wrong . I'm just saying what worked for me .

But as I can feel myself getting pulled back into these current events and all these wars and all this fighting , I've had to distance myself and I've had to say do you know what ? What's in my control ? Well , making a YouTube video is in my control . I can't control how many people watch a video , but I can control what I do with my day .

I can control the inputs right , I can control the media that I choose to consume .

And whilst this YouTube channel is about not drinking alcohol and we see all of these conflicts going on , the last thing I want you to do is look at these current events , feel fear , feel some kind of negative emotion because of all of these headlines , and then want to deal with this pain by consuming alcohol . Again .

Look back to that picture locus of control . What is in your control right now ? Because the same way that we can choose what we consume in terms of media , books , etc . Is the same with alcohol . We can control what information we consume about alcohol .

We can control whether or not we consume alcohol Because , whilst all these conflicts and wars are going on , there is still the same war that we're all fighting

together and that's the war against alcohol . And , like I said before , wars are fought through battles and I want to say this again your battle with alcohol is part of a bigger war .

If you win this battle , it spreads , and if you actually think about a war , that's what happens , right , a battle gets won and then it spreads and then , along the lines , everybody hears about this battle that's won , camaraderie improves and people keep fighting . That's how you need to see your fight with alcohol .

You've got to see it as a battle that will contribute to everybody around you . If you beat this battle , if you win this fight , who else notices ? Your friends , your family , your wife , your husband , your children ? They start looking at you , going how did you do it ? What's changed ? You look different , you look healthier , you're nicer to be around .

And then you tell them I don't drink anymore , I stopped drinking . See , the battle with alcohol that you are fighting is so important . You need to remember that your decision to not drink alcohol has got a lot to do with you and your life , but you need to see how that will impact your society , your community and all the people around you .

That is a battle and that is a war that is 100% in your control . I'm not saying that you should be totally uninformed , but I want to remind you you've got no control over these things and if you drink alcohol , there is a much more important war that is on your doorstep right now . That will impact you and will impact your family .

Relatively speaking , we do live in peaceful times , and I'm not trying to downplay these conflicts that are happening in other parts of the world . 70 million people died in World War II , which is just . You can't even imagine it that many people died in that war and , relatively speaking , times are peaceful . And that's as a British citizen .

I'm sure if I lived in another country right now I would not be feeling that way , but I'm just talking on a global level . Right now , you know it's not like we're in some major conflict . It can feel like we're on the verge of it , but it's not here . But the war on alcohol and the battle that you're fighting is on your doorstep right now . So just don't
