Today, I want to talk about a drinker's life being sort of a whole series of delaying and damaging excuses. I can only talk about myself and what I know about myself and the person I'm becoming as an individual. At the end of my drinking career, once I had come to that conclusion that I needed to stop drinking, I thought that up unto that point that I liked the person who I was. I didn't, at all. When I realise some of the stuff that I was doing in my life, some of the things that I had taken on, some of the behaviours that I was doing as a habit,

First, let's talk about cravings a little bit. Cravings are more psychological rather than physical. It's more to do with the things you've left out in life or the things that have gone from your life. You quit drinking and now you're living sort of a big hole in your life that the alcohol used to fill, and it's those holes that cause the cravings. We're sort of automatic beings .

Today, I want to talk about an email I got from a person who was saying that their partner was going off and drinking on their own or with their friends and they were coming back to the house probably drunk. This person felt their partner was laughing at them, and their group of friends was taking the mick and not being very supportive. I've spoken about this a lot before about what do you do if your partner still drinks or if your other half still drinks.

Today, I got a comment on the YouTube channel and it was from a guy that's been a long term commenter to the channel, and he said he's getting thoughts about alcohol after 2 years of not drinking. Obviously he wants to know what's going on. I'll read this out: I've been off the rotten stuff for a little over 2 years. Would agree that over time, the urge goes dim. I don’t think about it anymore, usually but once in a while, the thought comes into my mind…

When you're going through change of quitting drinking alcohol, normal life gets further and further away from you but normalcy does return. Today, I want to talk about the normal life. Or the thing about normalcy. As with any behaviour change the more you get into this, the more you're going to see that behaviour change takes you getting outside your comfort zone. The changes are going to be made rather slowly. They will be hard to take in the beginning because it seems like your whole life is turned upside down. When you’re making this type of a change, the alcohol is sort of the first part you take out, but it's a small part,

One of the biggest behaviour changes in your life is to not try and make too many changes at once. Hold yourself back from trying to do too many things at once, because you'll avoid burnouts that way and get a lot more done. Today, I want to talk about how many behaviours should you try to change at once. The basic thing is that if you try and make too many changes at the one time, you'll burnout. You will be doing too much, putting too much effort in, your willpower won't stand up to it and you'll gradually let things slide bit by bit. It just creates an air of negativity about the whole situation. You let one thing go and think 'I couldn’t really do that', but deep

I got a comment the other day from a person who said, “affirmations are a load of bollocks" Affirmations don’t work - if you don’t allow them to work. If you think that they don’t work - then they don’t work.

Every single challenge in life has got a window of opportunity, has got something that you can pull out of it, that you can do something about.

Today, I want to talk about opportunity within the shit. Einstein said that in the middle of any difficulty, there lies opportunity. What he meant was that regardless of what problems you're facing, there is an opportunity for growth, for taking something good out of it. This
