(00:21):
Listen.
If this happens, you need tostop drinking alcohol now.
You can't put it off any longer.
So what happens when we startdrinking alcohol is we gain
something from it.
Otherwise we wouldn't continuedoing it.
Right?
You're not going to continuetouching a hot stove.
We touch it once when we were achild and then we never touched
the hot stove again.
But with alcohol at thebeginning, we feel like we

(00:43):
gained something from it.
Maybe it helps us loosen upwith our friends, right?
Maybe it helps us relax after ahard day of work.
Maybe for some of us, myselfincluded, it helps us escape our
problems Rather than deal andfix and struggle and fight with
things.
We have a drink and we get thatinstant relief.
That's how it starts.
But there's a shift thathappens in every single

(01:04):
drinker's life and when ithappens, you must stop drinking
alcohol.
Now, a very quick introductionmy name is Leon Sylvester.
I'll get to that shift in asecond.
But if you want help stoppingdrinking, what you need to do is
click the link in thedescription.
There'll be a very short videothat you can watch that explains
, like, how I work with people,my new method, how it works in
as little as 48 hours, how itgets a 92 to 97% success rate.

(01:26):
If you want to see that, clickthe link in the description.
You can watch the short video,then book a call and see if
working together could be a goodmatch.
But let me get back to thepoint.
So, like I said at thebeginning, we get a benefit from
drinking.
Something good happens, butthere's a shift that always
happens.
I don't know if you've evernoticed this, but have you ever
met somebody that drinks lessover time?
Right, they start in age 18, 19, drinking a bottle of vodka a

(01:48):
day and then, by age 40, theydrink one glass of wine once a
month.
You ever heard of that?
Me neither.
Why?
Because it doesn't exist.
Drinking alcohol is somethingthat increases over time, and
here's a bit of shock news foryou but the longer you drink a
poisonous substance for, themore damage it does, not only
mentally, but also physically aswell.
So the longer we drink, themore negatives that start

(02:10):
happening.
For some of us that's weightgain, for some of us that's
lethargy, for some of us it'sjust feeling terrible about
ourselves.
And then for others it's worse.
It's cancer, right, it'scirrhosis of the liver, it's a
DUI, it's our wife walking outon us, it's our kids never
talking to us again.
The more we drink, the biggerthe problems become.
So when should you stop drinkingalcohol?
Well, what you need to see isthat when we start drinking

(02:32):
alcohol, we get perceivedbenefits.
There's no question about itbut those benefits are so
short-lived.
We gain something for maybe thefirst few weeks, first few
months, maybe the first year,but it's a slippery, slippery
slope that only goes downwardsand all you need to do is play
it out.
Just think about it for asecond.
If the benefits have beenslowly disappearing and the

(02:53):
negatives have been increasing,what do you think is starting to
happen?
Well, things are getting worse.
They're not getting better, andfor me and my journey during
the 10 years that I drank, for Igot to a place where there was
literally no benefit toconsuming alcohol anymore.
It was purely drug addiction,just to get rid of the negatives
.
And the negatives were causedby alcohol in the first place?
Listen, if you're one of thosepeople that's still in that
honeymoon phase where you'reenjoying your drink and it's

(03:16):
helping you listen, this videois not for you.
But the moment you start seeingnegatives, start asking
yourself where is this going?
If you're getting fatter, doyou think you're all of a sudden
going to get a six pack?
If you keep drinking, do youthink if your wife's upset with
you, she's all of a sudden goingto forgive you?
It doesn't work like thatbecause we drink more.
That's how addiction works.
We don't drink less over time,we drink more.

(03:37):
See, the best time to stopdrinking alcohol is yesterday,
but we can't do anything aboutyesterday.
The best time to stop drinkingalcohol is always now.
It's just that there's always abetter time, right, we've
always got a better time afterthe holidays, after the wedding,
after the christening, whatever, right.
There's always a better time todo this.
But the real answer is the besttime to stop drinking alcohol
is now.
It's not to wait until thosenegatives are just so far down

(04:00):
that you're in the gutter, likeI was when I stopped drinking
alcohol.
I had no money, I had nobusiness, I had no relationship.
My family were pissed off withme.
I was living in a shared house,I was at ground zero and I had
no choice.
Why wait to get there?
Why wait to get?
So you've got no choice.
See, if you could just askyourself what is alcohol even
doing for me in the first placeand you can come to a real,

(04:21):
logical answer.
You'll come to the same answeras I did.
Alcohol gives you nothing.
And by stopping drinkingalcohol, guess what happens?
Only good things.
Only good things come from notpoisoning your body.
