If you want to successfully stop drinking, you HAVE to learn how to lean into discomfort. The reason we are trapped in the alcohol cycle is because of our unwillingness to feel the discomfort. This is what keeps us trapped, limited and repeating the same mistakes, over and over and over again. So, the way you STOP drinking is by developing the courage to feel and move through the discomfort. Whatever that be for you. For all of us, it starts out as the discomfort of the withdrawl and craving.......

If you try to quit drinking by white knuckling and pushing through with will power ALONE, there's a good chance you'll go back. But here's the deal, there is an element of will power that you do apply. This is called learning the skill of delayed gratification. Quitting drinking is not just about not drinking...it's about so much more than that. Living an alcohol free life is about upgrading your mental, emotional and spiritual operating system so that the idea of going back to a lifestyle where...

If you want to successfully quit drinking alcohol, you MUST be honest with yourself. This is a non-negotiable. If you want to succeed, you have to develop the courage to get honest and stay honest. It's the only way. Alcohol is ruthless. It has no remorse. It will destroy you, your family and steal everything you have from you - and the alcohol companies will continue producing your favorite drink and continue profiting off it. Get honest, take this process seriously and get the support you need...

I recorded this one really quickly before one of my calls and just let things flow. I reflected on how alcohol really is the #1 thing that gets in the way of all of the things that we want in our life. When you remove the alcohol, you can have it all. It finally clears space for you to begin working on yourself. We all feel the discomfort early on, but that's just part of the process. It's part of neurochemical, emotional and physical debt that we have to repay for using a drug to run from our p...

What you NEED to understand is that if you want to quit drinking successfully, you need to address and heal the underlying reasons for why you drink. For most people people, it comes down to escaping a sense of pain - caused by a dysregulation in their nervous system from old memories, faulty beliefs, programs or patterns at the unconscious level. You need to change your focus from "not drinking" to being relentlessly curious and committed to optimizing your Self at the deepest level. When you b...

You have to be willing to go to war. This is the mindset you NEED to have as you approach this process. You cannot be lackadaisical, half in, half out. Or you will continue to repeat the same mistakes and continue suffering the consequences. You have to begin waking up. In war, you would not drop your pants and give in at the fist site of discomfort. At the first sign of pain. At the first sign of things be hard or not going your way...would you? If you were fighting for your LIFE, for your kids...

As we approach this journey, every single one of us feels fear, stress and discomfort. We feel frozen by the thought of "how am I NEVER going to drink again!?" This is very normal. Everyone experiences it. You're not alone. The "secret key" for this entire process to be successful is taking it one day a time. Do not overwhelm yourself by imagining a future without alcohol. This is the wrong way to think about it. The only thing that you should be focused on is doing your absolute best, today. Th...

This is one of the most important episodes you will ever listen to on your journey. This is the reason why I do what I do. Alcohol is a slow burn drug that will quietly steal your youth and BEST YEARS of your life. Do not be fooled. It feels like when you make the decision to give you alcohol that you're giving up everything. That life is destined to be boring and dull. This is an illusion caused by the alcohol itself. This couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is, when you finally let go...
