Today I just want to do a quick video on sleeping.

The reason why I'm saying is that I get a lot of emails from people who say, you know, they're asking me questions - "How do I go to sleep in the first - I've quit drinking but I can't sleep and how do I get over that?"

I've just finished listening to Frank Sinatra singing "My Way". When you listen to the lyrics of this, first of all you're thinking - "yeah, the Guy's cool!" You know he did it his way and he went through life with no other care about what other people thought about him, he didn't make any compromises and all this kind of stuff. But when you look at the Guy, he was a heavy drinker, he was, he ate what he want and all this kind of stuff.

Think about all the times that you've read a newspaper article; or you've seen something on the TV; or you've heard somebody saying something - which gives you good news about your bad habits.

It basically says to you, that you can eat what you want, drink all you want - all that kind of stuff.

Well, a lot of people - most people - like to hear good news about their bad habits.

Today I just wanted to talk about people being afraid of what other people think about them right. Social pressure and all this kind of stuff. Fear of what other people are going to think when you quit drinking, or when you change to, to doing a weird diet or something, you know. Anything that you're doing for yourself that's going to better you.

Today I want to talk about just security, in future, security being safe, all that kind of stuff.

And a quote from somebody, and I can't for the life of me think of who wrote the quote, it was - "When nothing is sure, everything is possible."

And really this one is about positive, negative, expectations about your life, about the journey ahead of you, about what you’re going to do - when you quit drinking - in this instance.

Drinking alcohol for fun or pleasure is a form of socially reinforced delusion every time we do it, when we go out and do it, when we see our mates doing it, you know, the people doing it in our lives. It’s just, reinforced and reinforced and you know the programming starts very early in life and it just keeps being reinforced as we go through life.
