Most people get stuck in the struggle phase and a high percentage of people go back to drinking in the monotony phase, but if you dig your heels in and commit to your healing and personal growth - you can taste the fruit and freedom this journey offers.

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 begin healing and improving your Self at a deep level, living AF becomes effortless.

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...for your family...for your tribe?

Not a chance. You'd fight to the death. 

What makes you think this journey is any different? It's because you were conditioned to believe that what you're drinking is cool, fun and sophisticated. 

When in reality, you're pouring poison into a quantum super computer.

This is how I want you to approach this journey. 

Because there is a system designed to keep you down. To keep you numb. To keep you disconnected. To keep you controlled. 

This is about RECLAIMING YOUR SOUL. This is about taking your life back. Because if you don't, this thing WILL kill you. You can't beat it. You can't outdrink the alcohol.

Listen to me. You have to be willing to go to war. This means you prioritize your sobriety over everything during the first few months. Just like if you were getting ready to go to war to protect yourself and your family, you would prepare in every possible way;

- You'd find the best weapons

- You'd acquire food and water reserves

- You'd figure out the best tactics and strategies for offense and defense

- You'd train, day and night and be prepared.

If you think you're going to go into this with a lazy half measure of "we'll see how it goes" - you've already lost.

Get your mind right. Figure it out. You and your family deserve it. It's time to reclaim your freedom.

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. That's how I hit 2 years sober last week. By stacking a bunch of "1 days." That's the key. That's the secret.

When you've been taking drug for years and years that has woven itself into the fabric of your lifestyle, routines and social interactions - the idea of letting it go feels scary. I get it. 

Especially because it gives you that rush of dopamine that makes you feel like you can temporarily disconnect from all the chaos in your life.

What you need to remember here is that this process is front loaded with a little discomfort, maybe some boredom for the first couple weeks - but then after that...it becomes AMAZING.

The discomfort you feel in the beginning is NOT how you're going to feel the rest of your life. The mind and body just needs to go through a period of discomfort in order to rebalance itself back into homeostasis and harmony.

Are you willing to endure a few days or a couple weeks of a little discomfort or some very temporary boredom to GAIN EVERYTHING BACK in your life?

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 of the alcohol...you actually gain back EVERYTHING. 

You gain back your potential.

This is what I'm so passionate about what I do.

Once we remove the alcohol monkey off your back - the next step is to OPTIMIZE & EMPOWER the human being to become the most elite version of itself. 

This path back to your truest, most authentic self.

Where you are free from the bondage of your past. Where you feel safe, connected, aligned and empowered to be the truest, most powerful version of your authentic nature.

This gets me fired up. 

Let's do this together.

If you want to have an "edge" and make this process easier...it's very important that you understand the Pain Pleasure principle and how it related to addiction and the cycle we find ourselves in with drinking.  

The pain pleasure principle states humans are more motivated to AVOID PAIN than to PURSUE PLEASURE.  

What's this have to do with drinking? Listen in to find out.

Do you want to quit drinking but feel like life will be boring without alcohol? You're not alone.

My video on alcohol and boredom received over 1.5 Million views on TikTok. This is one of the major psychological hurdles we need to understand, address and overcome if we want to quit drinking and move on with our life.

EVERYONE feels this way in the beginning.

And it's not because life is boring without alcohol. Not even close. In fact, life is AMAZING without alcohol.

But because of the way alcohol interacts with your brain, it tricks you into thinking you need it.

In this episode I explain exactly why this is happening so you can better understand the cycle.

Awareness and education is the FIRST STEP change and transformation.

What you learn will change your mind and perspective about alcohol forever.
