Today's question comes from a comment that was left on the website. I'll read it out: Girlfriend gets me down with her drinking, and it's destroying me. I'd like to have some advice, I really love my girlfriend but alcohol destroys our lives. She drinks heavily pretty much daily. We have aspirations but she always collapses under the weight of alcohol when it comes time to act on them. She gives up alcohol, she always drops me and runs to the bottle. She always

Today, I want to talk about using substitutes for alcohol once you stop drinking. I think this is one of the first things that people think about, is what can I replace the alcohol with? Can I replace it with alcohol free beer? Coke or Fanta? Alcohol free wine? This is one of the things that people actually think about.

Today, I wanted to talk about an article I read in Forbes magazine which has to do with the alcohol addiction treatment industry which is worth $35 billion dollars in America alone, not anything outside the US. This article stated that there were 23 million people in the US that were addicted to alcohol or some other drug. They think that figure is very low.

Today, I want to talk about the right time to quit drinking. I know I’ve talked about this a few times but it’s just one of those things that keep cropping up in the comments and emails.

Today, I want to talk about getting outside your comfort zone. Life is not about being easy. You can’t get the things that you want in life if you’re going on the easy route all the time. The best things in life are always going to be once you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone. Once you get away from the thing that you want, that easy, instant, one-time gratification because…it just doesn’t deliver the things that you need in life. It’s just not the way life works. If you want to move away from alcohol into a better life, put more money in your account, put more esteem in your internal account, self-esteem, then you’ve got to go through the discomfort.
