decision.

(00:21):
I don't care if you stopdrinking with AA, with willpower
, with therapy, with medication,with rehab, with reframing how
you view alcohol.
If you do not do what I'm goingto tell you to do in this video
, it is going to be a disaster.
And I don't want to be negative, I want to be realistic.
I'm not trying to dissuade youfrom stopping drinking alcohol.
I want to give you an actualgame plan so you can make this
(00:42):
change permanent.
See, after stopping andstarting drinking for almost 10
years failing more times than Ican count there was one crucial
mistake that I made that kept mestuck, but after I fixed it,
I've now not drank for sevenyears.
I've helped hundreds of clientsin my coaching business in
Sober Glit go through this verysame change, and I'm telling you
once they got to the other endof what I'm going to show you
how to do in this video.
(01:03):
It was the light bulb momentthat they needed.
I'm not saying you need to joinmy coaching program.
This is relevant to anybody whois trying to stop drinking
alcohol, whether you drink onebeer a week or whether you drink
one bottle of vodka a day.
It is going to apply Now if wehaven't met yet.
My name is Leon Sylvester.
What I teach people to do isscientifically validated.
My company recentlycommissioned an academic
(01:23):
psychologist to create a reporton what I actually do and the
report shows a 96% client-ratedsuccess rate.
Now if you want to find thereport, you can actually just go
to Google Scholar and searchSober Clear System.
We're the only coaching programin the world that actually has
a scientific report that is onGoogle Scholar.
So if you just go and searchSober Clear System, you can
learn a bit more about the workthat we do.
But, like I said, it doesn'tmatter if you use my approach or
(01:44):
not.
This video is going to becritical.
So before we stop drinking,before we even make this
lifestyle change and remove thisdrug from our life, we're
usually in a place of pain.
If we're not in a place of pain, are we even going to bother
changing?
Of course not.
How many 18 year olds do youhear saying I'm never going to
(02:05):
drink again.
It very rarely happens.
They're loving life or sorry,21 over.
In the States it's 18 where I'mfrom, back in England.
But when we get older thedrinking usually increases and
we get to a place where wereally look at alcohol and think
is this actually serving me?
And if you're watching thisvideo now, then alcohol is
probably causing some sort ofpain in your life, right?
Not feeling great.
(02:25):
Maybe you've put on some weight, maybe it's causing some
relationship problems, maybeyou've had a health scare.
I've had health scares.
I've had all sorts of thingshappen to me because of alcohol
and when I wanted to change Iwas in a place where alcohol was
causing pain.
So I was down here and thispain has got me sober so many
times but it never kept me sobersober and it's because I didn't
do what I'm about to show youwhat to do.
But we get to a place wherealcohol causes pain and that can
(02:47):
motivate us to change.
That's when people go to an AAmeeting, right?
Nobody's walking into an AAmeeting like, hey guys, I'm so
happy to be here.
Nobody's sitting with theirdoctor saying I'm scared about
my liver because I'm drinking somuch.
They're not there becausethey're in a good mood and
they're in a good place.
No, alcohol is caused from painand it's got us going.
But this is the mistake.
What people do is they use thepain and then they think that
(03:08):
that is enough.
And that's when we do thingslike use willpower right.
We just fight these urges thatcome up in our life.
We just fight through them.
We're strong people.
We don't drink and that's it.
But I promise you, whatevermethod you choose, one day even
people that I've worked with incoaching program they will get
to this day.
Everybody gets to this point.
But you will reach a pointwhere the pain has gone.
You will feel a new baseline, anew normal.
(03:29):
Alcohol is no longer in thepicture and you'll just feel how
you were supposed to feel.
Probably, you feel kind of likeyou did before you even started
drinking.
I've heard people say that.
I've heard people in their 60stell me they feel like 20 year
olds again, and this is thepoint that you need to watch out
for.
You need to watch out for thispoint, like your life depends on
it, because it actually does.
Alcohol is one of the biggestkillers in the world.
It kills almost 100,000Americans every single year.
(03:52):
But I promise you one thing thepain will eventually subside.
The most important thing thatyou can do when you stop
drinking alcohol is you needsomething to go towards.
It doesn't matter what methodyou choose.
Listen, if you're going to AAmeeting and it's working,
whatever, I'm not here to judgebut if your life goal is just to
not drink, what are you goingto do once you've achieved that
goal, once the pain is gone?
(04:14):
And I say achieve that goalbecause there is no goal when
you stop drinking.
This is another big mistakepeople do is they count the days
.
They think that the longer theydrink, the more that they're
not a drinker.
If they don't drink for a year,then they're more of a
non-drinker than they were onday 30.
What I teach people to do, whatI help people do, is make one
decision to stop drinking andmove on with their damn life.
But anyway, the point of thisvideo is, regardless of what you
(04:35):
do, is you need something to gotowards, and the best way that
you can do this is you need anew vision for your life.
Now.
My mum stopped drinking with AA.
She hasn't drank for over 20years, but I know that she had
this when she stopped drinkingalcohol.
I know for a fact.
She had a vision for her life.
She knew who she wanted tobecome, and, whilst AA wasn't
for me, I tried.
It didn't work.
Not calling myself an alcoholic, Listen, going to criticize it,
(04:56):
because that's not what thisvideo is for.
What I'm trying to tell you isthat she had something to go
towards, because the paineventually goes away, and we
can't forget this.
So what I would encourage you todo is, if you are thinking of
stopping drinking or you'vealready got some momentum, have
a vision.
Write it down.
Think about what you want yourlife to look like in five years
from now.
How much money are you making?
What does your relationshiplook like?
What are you seeing reflectedback in the mirror?
(05:18):
Are you seeing the person thatyou want to be?
How are you showing up in yourmarriage for your children?
And what we want to do is wewant to put all of our energy
going towards this version ofourselves.
This is something I did when Ijust stopped drinking alcohol.
I had a vision board right.
I had pictures of the person Iwanted to become, and then I
started seeing that alcohol doesnot fit into this vision at all
.
And then something switched.
(05:38):
My identity changed.
I stopped seeing myself assomebody that was always
struggling to not drink andsomebody that had to fight these
urges for the rest of my life.
It was this switch, and I'dreframed how I view alcohol.
But then I started somethingdifferent.
I started seeing myself assomebody that just naturally
doesn't drink because it didn'tfit in to who I wanted to become
.
The version of me that couldeffortlessly achieve my dream
(06:00):
did not drink alcohol, and Iwant you to ask yourself this
question as well.
If you've got a dream for yourlife right, if you want a better
life for yourself, for yourfamily, think of who you need to
become to achieve that dream,and I really want you to take a
good hard look at yourself inthe mirror as a drinker and ask
yourself if I drink alcohol,will I achieve this dream?
Listen, maybe for some of youyou don't feel like I did,
(06:20):
because I know that if I drinkalcohol, I will never achieve
what I want.
But I had to come to thatconclusion myself.
I can't come to that conclusionfor you, and this is gnarly
work, right?
Getting to this place in yourhead is painful, because you're
really admitting that.
Okay, well, who I am right now?
They're not good enough and Ineed to evolve.
I need to step into this newversion of myself.
And I promise you one thing ifyou do this, when the pain of
(06:46):
alcohol has gone, when you startto feel normal and you start to
feel positive and you start tofeel good, this idea of having
just one drink, going back tobeing a normal drinker that
pattern that I've been throughmore times than I can count it
goes away Because there's a newversion of you that just
logically doesn't drink.
Now, if you want help gettinginto this state of mind where
not drinking is a choice ratherthan a fight, then guess what?
Me and you can do this together.
(07:06):
You don't need to do this onyour own.
It's an option, but it's justgoing to be a lot harder.
But if you want to see if it'sa good fit, all you need to do
is click the link down below,answer the questions, find a
time to speak.
We'll have a conversation andsee if my approach could be a
good match for you.
There's no hard selling,nothing weird, but listen,
regardless of whether you clickthe link or not, you need that
thing to go.
