(00:22):
There's no question about it.
Alcohol dominates society.
It is everywhere.
Every time you turn on the TV,every time you turn on your
phone.
Heck, even YouTube videos likemine get alcohol advertisements
displayed on them.
You've literally got no escape.
But the big question is why isit so difficult to stop
drinking?

(00:42):
Why do so many millions ofpeople attempt to stop drinking
alcohol or reduce their drinkingand then end up drinking more?
It doesn't seem to make anysense.
And when I drank for the bestpart of 10 years, this happened
to me so many times.
I promised myself, this timeit's going to be different.
This time I'm just going to haveone or two at the weekend and
just go back to normal life.

(01:03):
And then six months later, I wasbinge drinking, I was out of
control.
And that promise I made myselfsix months ago had gone.
It was out of the window.
Now, if you've found yourself ina similar cycle where you've
been debating whether or not tostop drinking alcohol, but you
haven't yet managed to actuallymake it a success, this is the
video that you've been lookingfor.
Because I'm not gonna stand herewith a finger and say you're a

(01:26):
bad person, you're an alcoholic,you need more willpower, you
know, no, I'm not gonna do anyof that stuff.
Because when I heard that stuff,guess what happened?
I just wanted to drink more.
Today I'm gonna show yousomething completely different.
I'm going to show you why noneof this is your fault.
Don't get me wrong, you stillneed to fix it.
But once you see that this isn'tyour fault, it's a bit of a

(01:48):
relief because then you realize,okay, well, hang on.
So this is what got me into thisposition.
And these were forces outside ofmy control.
Once you see that, then you canbring it back to the present
day, the situation you're inright now, and you can address
these points.
And I'm gonna show you exactlyhow to do it.
And listen, this isn't going tobe your typical mainstream
advice.
I'm not going to sit you in ameeting, sit you with a

(02:09):
therapist, prescribe you somepills.
No, we're going to address theroot cause.
This has worked for me for thepast seven years.
I've not touched a drop.
Sure, life's going well now, buttrust me, back then it was a
disaster.
And I'm also going to be showingyou what I've shown millions of
people on this YouTube channel.
I've received tens of thousandsof messages and emails over the
years from people who havethanked me for showing them the

(02:31):
truth.
The truth about alcohol,addiction, and what to do about
it.
So, why do I say that thedrinking isn't your fault?
Some people will argue with meon this.
They'll say, no, no, no, no.
A drinker has to literally pickup the drink and put it to their
lips.
So then it must be their fault.
Drinking was a choice.
And in some ways, they're right.
But why did you make thatchoice?

(02:53):
That's the question that goesunanswered.
Back when alcoholics was createdalmost a hundred years ago, they
thought that choice was becauseyou have some genetic disorder.
You've got a disease, you're analcoholic, there's something
wrong with you.
That's what they believed.
But the big problem with thisidea that you're the problem,
that you've got a disease withno known cure.
The big problem here is that wemiss the root cause.

(03:15):
The problem with believing youare the problem is you never
separate the person from theproblem.
And alcohol is just a symptom ofthe person with the problem.
It doesn't make any sense.
How do you fix that?
You can't.
You've got to beg God to helpyou, to get through cravings,
you've got to go to meetings forthe rest of your life and just
fight the urge.
But let's just go back a bit.
Let's just go back to when youwere born.

(03:36):
See, you were born into a worldthat sees alcohol a very
specific way.
We also see illegal drugs a veryspecific way.
We see them as dangerous,something that only criminals
are involved with, somethingthat kills people, something
that's you just don't want to gonear those things.
And then there's anotherparadigm for alcohol.
It's celebration, right?
It's a way to relieve grieving.

(03:57):
It's a bit of fun.
It's it's a way to socialize.
Alcohol seems to be the solutionto our problems.
But where do these ideas comefrom?
Because technically they're nottrue.
The act of drinking alcoholisn't socializing.
You're going like this.
You're not talking when you'repicking up a drink to your lips.
The idea that this action isfun, it doesn't make any sense.
It isn't fun.

(04:18):
You drink water, you drinkcoffee, you drink drinks, and
it's not exactly that fun.
But the idea that alcohol isfun, where does that come from?
See, all of the ideas that wehave around alcohol, they're not
really thought through.
We don't go and think throughall of our beliefs around
alcohol and ask ourselves, wheredoes this come from?
And part of the reason why isbecause everybody else believes
it.

(04:38):
That's what makes stoppingdrinking so difficult.
We have to go totally againstthe green.
We basically need to ignorepeople that we grew up with,
people that we love, people whowe've drank with, and we need to
go and create a new worldviewand do the opposite to them.
And you know what?
Sometimes that makes people feeluncomfortable.
So again, why is it so hard tostop drinking?

(04:59):
Well, when you're born, messagesare put in front of you.
It starts with media, it startswith movies, with TV series,
with some slight promotions.
But most of the time, what we'redoing when we're growing up is
we're really trying to makesense of the world.
And what we do is we look atpeople older than us and we see
what are they doing.
So we watch James Bond.
What's he doing?
Sipping his martini.

(05:19):
We turn on a sports game andwhat do we see?
We see alcohol celebrated.
We see it as promoted.
Sometimes we see athletespromoting it.
And we start to make theseassociations with alcohol and
other people.
What we don't do is we don't seea homeless person drinking
alcohol and then start to makean association between them.
Maybe we do a little bit, butmost of the time, people that

(05:40):
are promoting alcohol are peoplethat we admire.
And the weirdest thing is thesepeople are either paid for, as
in an athlete or some celebritythat's promoting their alcohol
brand, that's either paying themdirectly or they own it, or the
weirdest thing is it's afictional character.
Can you believe that?
That a fictional character, afake person that somebody has

(06:00):
invented with the pen and paper,and we might have positive
associations with this fictionalcharacter.
When we see them drink alcohol,there's a part of us that
thinks, oh, oh, if thatfictional character does it,
then there must be something togain.
How freaking weird is that?
That doesn't make any sense.
But because this is all workingin the background as we're
growing up, it just goesunnoticed.

(06:21):
Because then not only do we seethese celebrities, you know,
these these movies where peopleare drinking, but then it's our
friends, right?
It's our family members.
We see our uncle, we see our mumand dad having some drinks,
having a cocktail.
We go to a wedding, everybody'sdrinking.
This idea that alcohol is just apart of being a grown-up is
everywhere that we look.
One caveat here is that ifyou're born in a Muslim country,

(06:43):
you will not have this belief.
Because they have a differentbelief and they don't drink and
they don't want to drink.
But in the Western world, thisis the worldview that we all
have.
We have multiple forces allworking together to condition us
to see alcohol a very specificway.
And then when we finally drinkalcohol and we don't really like
it, we persevere, we push pastit because everybody else is

(07:04):
doing it.
We tell ourselves, surely theremust be something in it, right?
And before you know it, you'vepushed past it, you've drank for
a few years, you're kind ofstarting to get the effect, and
that's it.
And for 95,000 people inAmerica, for millions across the
world, they become a statistic.
They become an alcohol-relateddeath.
But nobody ever warned themthat's what they're signing up
for.
Losing years of their life, apainful death.

(07:26):
Because that's the thing.
Once the conditioning has takena grip of somebody, then the
drug then does the rest of thework.
Alcohol is an addictive drug,one of the most addictive drugs
known to man.
It damages every single cell itcomes into contact with.
It's known to cause sevendifferent types of cancer.
But once the conditioning hastaken a grip, then it gets

(07:47):
replaced.
It gets replaced with addiction.
But the problem is when somebodyis addicted to alcohol, is they
don't want to address it.
And what ends up happening isall the lies that they've bought
into, rather than actually goand look at them and address
them and change their worldview,which we'll get to in a minute,
they have something calledcognitive dissonance.
Most people don't want to lookat all of the lies that they've

(08:09):
been fed because then they haveto start questioning did I
really fall for it?
Am I really that much of asucker?
Well, you're not a suckerbecause everybody fell for it.
But it takes a lot of courage tokind of put your ego aside and
say, Yeah, do you know what?
I did fall for it.
I made a mistake, but it's notyour fault.
And whilst it's not your fault,I hate to say it, but it is your
responsibility.
Whilst nobody asked you whetheryou wanted to get into the

(08:31):
position that you're in now, youstill need to fix it.
And if you're on the fence aboutfixing it, it's okay.
It doesn't feel quite right.
You know, if you were 100%confident about being able to
stop drinking alcohol and youknow it was gonna be easy, you
wouldn't have watched thisvideo.
You'd have stopped drinkingyears ago.
But the thing that stops us isfear.
We're all afraid that somehow,if we get rid of this thing,

(08:52):
life is going to be worse off.
It ain't gonna be worse off.
I can promise you that.
I promise you, when you stoppoisoning yourself, life will
change in such a positive waythat you actually become
unrecognizable to who you areright now.
You've got nothing to fear.
See, what you need to do is youneed to go back.
You need to go back to the verybeginning.
You need to go back to what itwas like when you started

(09:14):
drinking.
You need to look at the paradigmthat you had that got you into
this position that made you makea decision.
See, what I teach people to doon this channel and in my
coaching program atsoberclear.com is I help people
reframe how they view alcohol tochange these beliefs.
The way we do it is we use amental model.
We use first principlesthinking.
But you can do this alone.

(09:35):
It's harder, it takes a lotlonger.
You're gonna basically do what Idid alone, but you can break
down all of the beliefs thatyou've got around alcohol and
stopping drinking alcohol andyou can replace them.
And you might be thinking, well,that's impossible.
Well, I'll tell you why it's notimpossible.
Because somebody's put the ideathat drinking alcohol was good
in the first place.
The fact that somebody's alreadydone this to you means that you

(09:56):
can undo it.
Think how hard it is to persuadesomebody to poison themselves.
It's probably more difficult todo that than persuade people to
go to war.
But the fact that that's alreadybeen done means that you can
reverse it.
You can reverse the conditioningand you can start to see alcohol
without any bias.
Because what is it?
When you start seeing it forwhat it is, it's just poison.

(10:16):
You put it on your hands to killthe bacteria.
You know, you that handsanitizer that stinks, that
you're like, whoa, that'sdestroying and killing all of
the living organisms on yourhand.
Hate to break it to you, butthat's the stuff that you're
putting into your body.
That's the stuff that causesseven types of cancer.
It's the stuff that killsmillions of people every single
year.
And that's the stuff that ismeant to be a bit of fun and

(10:38):
sophistication.
I hate to break it to you, butsomebody has been pushing you
around life with a blindfold on.
And I promise you one thing, youcan take the blindfold off.
