Step 1 is mine and has been very useful. "Reframing the way I view alcohol/ethanol/poison". You nailed it with this because you are correct, it is everywhere and glorified by most. Especially if I want to live healthy, it doesn't make any sense to keep poisoning my body. Thank you very much for all of your work and knowledge. You have helped me tremendously!! I am only 2 months SOBER and with starting intermittent fasting, low carb diet, and exercising and boom.... My heart doctor is now taking me off 1 of my blood pressure medicines, I have lost over 30lbs. and I feel amazing!!

3 months no alcohol, going through a breakup but still going for it.

Good! Keep going 👻

The only thing that made me stop was age I literally had enough of booze at 47 I didn’t want anymore blackouts from binge drinking I was drinking worse then I did when I was 27 , I decided I wanted to grow as a person and totally change every aspect of myself as a person without booze and first off was my social life abs how I depended on alcohol to control my social anxiety.. it’s not easy but once you realise what alcohol is abs how it effects every aspect of your life you have to decide do you value your life and who you are as a human being , are you worth saving or is your self loathing so bad that you’ll keep drinking ?

Happy for you. I struggle with social anxiety also. That's why I drink. I am trying to quit alcohol as well. For my health and my relationship.

Good information! Going on 15 months sober 😊

Staying sober at a party, around 11 or 12, when they are all hammered. Oh my gosh, I did that. I couldnt believe the stupid things that they thought was funny. I remember thinking to myself, "My God, they are spiritually leaving their bodies".

@@PCongeries Good for you for setting healthy boundries. I avoid drunks. Sad thing, when I was last with my alcoholic sister who I used to drink with. She got so drunk at the end of the night she accused me of judging her. What a mess, we dont talk now, sad. Alcohol ruined our relationship.

I reframed my view of beer by calling it Loserade. I see alcohol now as a Stupifier and the evidence is all around, just listerning to conversations getting sillier and sillier as the evening goes on is pathetic and I used to be right in the middle of it. Now I am able to enjoy social occaisions for the genuine contacts but can just say goodnight and leave when it starts getting silly.

Changing the way I look at alcohol is my favorite tip. Once that happened for me I saw the light it was game on. I felt like such a fool for buying into the conditioning. When I see alcohol adds now I see them for what they are and inside I chuckle.

Spot on with the AA meetings. I always hated the “powerless” qoute too. You Said “building a life you wont escape from” is just spot on Scott !

Slowly watching all your videos. I love your view on alcohol without the AA approach. Listening to you regularly makes it feel like I've got someone on my side that really understands my issue. My parents, my wife, coworkers, don't see my drinking as a problem.

Thank you for sharing. I’m day one into sobriety. It’s been a really rough day, but I’m looking forward to day two.

So glad l found your videos, so helpful, thank you, l am on day 3 no booze, body is adjusting big time!

I told my best friend that I wanted to quit drinking and he should consider it too. He told me that he doesn't have a drinking problem. That anyone who has to quit has a problem.

I just recently hit two years sober and never went to AA or rehab or even asked for help it was all will power and spite to prove I could do it alone and show I wasnt a alcoholic fuckup

I needed to hear this. Thank You

Your channel is HIGHLY under rated!! Such good stuff. You'r doing great brotha. Thinking of quitting alcohol. I've quit other much worse things in years past. Alcohol was never an issue, but now that those other substances have been gone for a while, the alcohol is always there like a crutch that I don't like to use, but feel weak enough to lean on from time to time.. How can we fix the desire to lean on a chemical crutch? Surely its not the chemical that's the problem, but what ever is causing me (or addicts alcoholics in general) to feel like we rely on the substances in such a way.

Really enjoying your content, proving to be very useful to me on my personal journey. I’m only a few weeks in, but I had that eureka moment and realised the only way for me to control my drinking was to stop. Have to say, though, that I disagree with you regarding alcohol free beer! I love the craft beer movement and, in the UK, there are so many really good alcohol free beers - it’s a massive trend right now actually. I’m finding that I’m getting through to the weekend and getting the same release from having an alcohol free beer, except I’m having one rather than six and waking up on Sundays feeling amazing!

I did start 20 days ago !! Love this video, I wrote every steps down in my agenda :) THANK YOU LEON !!!!!!!

Non-alcoholic beers can be great for making other people feel more comfortable. I still enjoy going to bars and clubs for socializing and music and I've found that my non-drinking can make others feel uncomfortable with their own drinking which can kill the fun vibes I went out for in the first place so sometimes I'll use non-alcoholic beers to sort of "pretend" I'm drinking to help make others feel more comfortable. Personally, I'd rather just have a water or soda but now I don't mind having to work a little smarter and harder to get what I really want.

Vince...why do u feel the need to make others feel comfortable about drinking bleach? If your child was drinking bleach would you hold a bottle that looked like it had bleach in it just so as not to make your child feel uncomfortable? You are not being honest with your friends Vince. Your excuse is that you want them to feel comfortable. But perhaps the truth is that YOU fear being uncomfortable if they knew your true feelings about drinking bleach? You would not deceive your own child in this manner... no matter how uncomfortable it made them.

Wow absolutly awesome

After I stopped drinking this "heroin in bottle"..my best friend is me.I'm not socialize no any more with Alco-Monkey-Zombies

Back when I was drinking I had already gave myself up to God. God, I think I’m out of whiskey. 🤪 Honestly, the alcoholic meeting thing is replacing one form of conditioning for another, what it lacks is understanding. Like you can’t do crime when you are in jail. Yeah, nah. I figured out the problem was everything has a cost, it comes down to what you are willing to pay.

i watched you video before today is my 3 rd day not drinking beer after work after 30 years . i listen to your video because i think alcohol hurt my self so i quit cold turkey

I am so jealous you are in Thailand! I went to Koh Samui for a month and did a yoga detox retreat. Loved it! Def going back soon

I’ve early liver cirrhosis and have been told I’ve got between 2 to 5 years to reverse it, or succumb to an early death. I’m 47. I don’t want to die and leave my three sons without me. Alcoholism is prevalent throughout both sides of my family. I really want to find the strength to do this, but now we’re in lockdown in NZ, I’m finding my resolve hard to keep. Is the idea of replacing alcohol and the habits that go with it worth exploring for someone like me? For example a nice dinner (I rarely eat dinner) a low sugar soft drink and any other recommended substitutes that might seem more inviting than drinking?

How are you doing today?

Honestly I started taking naltrexone to help with the cravings. It really does help. “Will power” alone wasn’t strong enough for me. I’m starting therapy as well to help with my past traumas, as I found I drank to numb the pain, also out of sheer boredom.

You have will, but one does not WILL will. One's willpower is a force unto itself, at least that's what Schopenhauer says. Like our host says, we just do things through our will, which isn't always reliable.

In UK they they mixing 10% of ethanol to 90% of petrol it is new E10 petrol.Ethanol.. is a fancy name of diluted wodka ,wine ,beer or cider.People drinking it and running cars on it..lovely

I really like this guys videos. I also connect with everything he says and decided to look into his "program". However, I could not get beyond his transparently manipulative sales techniques when trying to bridge his pay wall. No way to offer feedback there. So here I am. I like your message Leon, convince me you're for real.

Haven't had a drink in over a year

Why the fakkk does my life get better when I do remove the piss? :D To be honest, I asked myself this a lot, if I am the issue, why does everything fall in line when I remove the alcohol? Makes no sense at all, so I feel you :) Never believed in that disease thing, always got out of first hand expirience that my llife turned around as soon as I stopped drinking. It's kinda obvious :D

I Love You❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

#7 i f in crushed it...lol

Message.

I get really bad anxiety and shakes, when I try to quit. I try to quit daily, for poast three years. Alcohol is a demon.

I’m a drug addict and a alcoholic and not calling yourself a alcoholic goes for drugs as well

1 day, 21 hrs

To me drinking is self-abuse

Watching this while drinking a beer

Your accent is so cute. 😅

Alcohol overall is good don't let someone tell you it's not but if you prone to addiction or overdrink stop it's poison to you

I have also been struggling with this and have tried everything except rehab. I have read the book The easy way to quit drinking alcohol without willpower by Allen Carr three times. I will say that I can tell these videos and program have everything to do with that method but also take it to the next level. What Leon adds here is “skin in the game”. I after listening to this realize he is 100% correct and I also understand why. If you haven’t read the book I mentioned above I would advise any of you to read it. My version is the kindle version which I have read on my iPad. I believe in this book and that’s why I believe in Leon’s approach. I have watched quite a few of Leon’s videos and realize the best way to be successful is the skin in the game. I see alcohol for what it is yet still cannot remove it from my life as of yet. The reason is the skin in the game. I believe I need to pay for the coaching because in that program they will teach me how to get back on track with my life so that as time goes by I will notice the difference in my life myself. As he says, doing the same things but not drinking for three years will show me nothing. Seeing the changes and positive differences will be all I or we need to realize we never want to live this way again. We will never risk so much again for something that took so much from us. We will be able to see the years we wasted on a harmful chemical for what they were. Then and only then will we appreciate all we have accomplished sober because we invested in ourselves and put skin in the game. I’m ready 💪🏻😊🤙🏻

And I do not know Leon and have not made the call. I simply have read the book I described above which is why I already know everything Leon is talking about. The book still didn’t fully help me and I believe it’s because I’m still not seeing the positive of what my life can be without alcohol. I see alcohol for what it is but need to take that first step and invest in myself. I’m telling you all this because I have been there and also read the book. I have not reached out to Leon yet but after this video of many I’ve watched I see a path that will work for me. My life matters to me and I know all of yours does to you as well. I only spoke up because I care and hope we all can escape this horrible nightmare known as Alcohol. God willing we all will and God bless you all on your journey.

I just came to the conclusion after many years of drinking that everything about it is stupid. Simple as that. Stupid is what stupid does. I don't drink any more. Life is good. All fun.
