(00:21):
What if I told you that therewas something that I replaced
alcohol with, and once I'dreplaced it with this, I never
drank again.
In fact, I haven't touched adrop of alcohol for seven years,
after a decade of just honestly, hell.
And when I say hell, yeah, sure, alcohol caused pain, but I had
this desire to stop drinkingalcohol that I just couldn't
grab hold of.
It was like I'd want to stop.

(00:42):
I'd grab hold of being sober,and then I'd have this idea to
have just one drink, and thecycle would just repeat.
But that was all until I made adiscovery, and I'm going to
break down this discovery inthis video today, because I'm
going to show you what you canreplace alcohol with, and this
will change your life forever.

So many people who try and stopdrinking alcohol look for a
replacement.
I get so many emails andcomments on YouTube videos and
private messages of people thatsay hey, Leon, what do you think
of these alcohol-free drinks?
What do I think of mocktails?

(02:09):
What do I think of drinkingthis instead of alcohol?
And to understand what Ireplaced alcohol with, there are
three layers that we kind ofneed to dive into, because you
need to understand the fullpicture here before I show you
what I replaced it with, becauseit's not just as simple as
saying, yeah, I drink somealcohol-free beer because I
don't drink that, and it's notas simple as I just drink
sparkling water.
I want to show you the actualthought process of what I've
replaced alcohol with, becauseonce you see the layers, it's

(02:30):
going to give you, like this, Iget it now this aha moment.
That's the intention, at leastthat's how these ideas worked
for me.
So let me break down thesethree critical layers for you to
get your head around.
The first layer, and the firstthing that we really need to get
our heads around, is thatalcohol is a drug.
I've spoken with thousands ofpeople over the years who need
help stopping drinking alcohol,that are interested in joining

(02:51):
my coaching program, sober Clear, which, if you want information
on you, can just go tosoberclearcom and you can
schedule a free consultation.
But anyway, so many people talkto me and they say, leon, I've
never taken a drug in my life,but alcohol seems to dominate my
life and I always think, like,is this rationalization, or do
they really not know alcohol isa drug.
Honestly, I don't know, becauseI'm not going to attack

(03:11):
somebody and start saying, hey,you're stupid, alcohol is a drug
.
No, I'm not going to do that,but, to be honest with you,
these are the thoughts that gothrough my head.
This is not a grey area Alcoholis a drug.
This is black and white, likethere's no question about this.
The problem, though, is thatbecause it's a drink and it
feels so normal to drink becausewe drink every day right, we
drink coffee I got a littlecoffee here we drink water, we

(03:34):
drink things to stay alive theact of drinking feels so normal.
I'm pretty sure if you had tosnort alcohol as a line and
that's how you had to consume italcohol consumption would drop
drastically.
But it feels natural and it'salso normalized.
Society sees alcohol not as thesame way that we see any other
drug, and we'll come back tothis in a second, but you've got

(03:54):
to start with this as anunderstanding before you
understand what to replacealcohol with.
So the second layer to this isthis highly addictive drug that
we call alcohol is also a poison.
It's a poisonous, toxicsubstance.
Most of the population don'trealize this, but it's also a
carcinogen and I don't know ifyou've ever tried like diesel,
which is this thing that theyused to put inside of a punch.

(04:16):
When I was in America atuniversity, when I was in Tampa
at USF, I joined a fraternityand they'd make these punchers
where they'd put this diesel in.
And I tried this punch and itwas I think it's like 70%
alcohol.
It's basically neat alcohol.
I'm quite sure you can't get ahigher concentration of alcohol
without it turning into a solid.
I might be wrong on that, but Itasted this stuff neat and it
literally set fire to my mouth.

(04:37):
My body, my taste buds saidhell, no, don't drink that.
But what we do is we have thatexact same substance.
There's no difference.
It's the very same drug and thevery same taste.
But what we do is we dilute it,we fill it with sugar, we turn
it into beer, we turn it intowine.
But it's the same crap and it'sa poison.
If you drink enough of it youwill die.
I'm not being mean and I'm nottrying to point my finger and

(05:00):
say you're a bad person oranything like that, but if you
drink enough of it it will putyou in a coffin.
That ain't good, that'sabsolutely terrible, but as a
society, we just give it a pass.
Bear with me, you'll see wherethis is going in a second.
But the third thing that I hadto get my head around and you
probably need to get your headaround.
I'm not trying to soundjudgmental, but the next thing I
had to do is stop lying tomyself about the pain that

(05:22):
alcohol caused.
Alcohol caused pain in my lifeHangovers, a lack of energy,
putting on weight, not setting agood example to my family and
to my friends, prioritizingdrinking over everything else.
It caused pain in my life andwhen I used to drink is I had to
rationalize it, I had tojustify it and I had to come to
terms with the fact that alcoholwas probably the biggest source

(05:43):
of pain in my life, because anymajor problem that I had
usually had alcohol linked to it.
So now we've built thisfoundation and now we're a
little bit clearer on whatalcohol actually is and the role
that it plays in our life.
Let's change the example andyou'll see how powerful this is
in a second.
But imagine a friend, maybe afamily member.
In fact, if you want to make itreally severe, imagine somebody

(06:09):
that you really love a spouse,a friend, maybe a family member.
In fact, if you want to make itreally severe, imagine somebody
that you really love, a spouse,a child, something like that.
Imagine that individual gotheavily addicted to crack
cocaine, one of the mostdestructive drugs in the world.
Now imagine they got clean,they stopped the drug, it's been
a month and they're in the verysame predicament as somebody
who stopped drinking alcohol.
They're thinking what could Ireplace the crack with?
So what he does or she does,the person that you love and I
know it's a little bit weird tothink this way, but it'll make
it a lot more powerful.
But just imagine that thisfriend, this family member,

(06:31):
whoever it is they go and visittheir old crack smoking friends.
They go wherever they go, intothe abandoned house, who knows,
and all their friends pull outtheir pipe and start smoking.
And then the person whoever'sin your mind right now has their
pipe in their pocket and theythink, oh right, okay, I'll pull
it out, but I'm not going tosmoke crack.
Oh, look at this sawdust on theground.
Okay, I put the sawdust in andnow I'll smoke the crack pipe.

(07:04):
Ah, now, I don't feel thisexample is pretty crude and not
very nice, but hopefully you'restarting to see what I replaced
alcohol with.
Now the thing with crack isit's not the best example
because it's illegal.
So for the crack smoker, ifthey ever stop, they're probably
going to get away from thecriminals and the underworld
that they have to deal with.
But here's the thing withalcohol we can't escape it,
unless you go and live in acountry with a government where

(07:25):
alcohol is banned, like in theMiddle East or something like
that, where even then though,there's I don't know places
where you can probably stillfind the stuff.
But unless you go to a placelike that, you live in a world
where drinking alcohol isnormalized.
When you change the substance,you see the absolute madness and
insanity of trying to replace adrug.
What would you think about thecrack smoke?
You'd think what are you doing?
You've stopped it, move on withyour life.

(07:46):
And this was a very long-windedway of saying this.
But this is how I feel withalcohol.
It is a drug, it is a poisonand it did nothing for me.
When I'm around people who drinkalcohol, I don't feel the need
to replace alcohol with anything.
If I saw a bunch of people thatwere shooting up heroin into
their veins or smoking crack,I'd be like yo, no thanks, like
keep me away from these people,and I'm not here to judge

(08:08):
anybody that puts anything intheir body.
People are free to do whateverthey want, but when I see people
drink, I don't feel this needto join in and get an
alcohol-free beverage.
Because what am I communicatingto myself by doing that?
Listen, I'm not saying that youshouldn't drink these drinks.
I've got people that I workwith that drink these drinks.
I just don't do it myself, andit's not like you're guaranteed
to relapse if you go and drinkan alcohol-free beer or whatever

(08:30):
it is people drink.
I don't even know.
To me it makes no sense,because now it feels like I'm
trying to replace alcohol withsomething else, and the last
thing I want to try and replacealcohol with is a fake alcoholic
beverage.
This is a pretty extreme opinion, but I wanted to share it with
you, because when you see thatyou don't need to replace
alcohol with anything, in fact,the only thing that you replace

(08:50):
it with is the life that youreally want, the health that you
want, the business you want,the career you want, the family
life you want.
You become the person that youwant to be instead.
That is the ultimatereplacement for alcohol, not an
alcohol-free beer.
Instead of trying to replacealcohol with something, why not
go towards the life that youreally want?
That is so much more excitingand it's so much more

(09:13):
sustainable.
