Today I want to talk about how to make the decision to stop drinking alcohol. First thing I'll say is that remember that everyone is not the same. Everyone is different. What works for one person is not going to work necessarily for another person. What motivates on person is not going to be the same for everyone else. Another thing is that this is a long term view. Yu have to look at this not in terms of just the next day or how you feel right now in this moment, but how you're going to feel in a week, a year, what are the consequences of your actions today. Either way, whether you look forward with positivity because you've stopped drinking and how that's going to be a consequence in your life and how it's going to affect your life, or, when you look forward in your life and you haven't stopped and how that's going to affect your life.

Today, I just wanted to talk about who suffers the most from your refusal to quit drinking? It's definitely gonna be yourself. The future you who hasn't got a clue yet what's in store for it. The oblivious future you. What I mean by that is you're in the fruits of your instant gratification. You're sat there and thinking you don't really wanna do it today and don't want to put yourself through it you don't really want to feel that discomfort yet. Maybe next week or the week after. And you take a drink and you sip away and feel nice and relaxed. But in the back of your mind, you've got this ticking time bomb. You know you’re doing what you're doing to yourself, that you've got to stop. So you've got this consistent, persistent pressure that's eating away at your self-confidence, your self-worth, what you think about yourself. But, you've got this ticking time bomb

Whether you're quitting drinking, quitting smoking, no matter what habit change you're making in your life. Consistency is going to be the key, either way.

Today, I want to talk about the problems of quitting drinking, and to know that old problems are always going to be replaced by new problems regardless of what part of life you’re involved in. I guess it all depends on the type of problems you're talking about. How you look at problems, how you view them. Some problems you want to have and others, you don't. Alcohol is a problem you don’t want to have in your life, because it's causing so much destruction. It gives you a bit of pleasure in the short term, but in the long term it doesn't do anything
