Why Replacements Matter

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Having a replacement for alcohol is the easiest way for you to stop drinking alcohol. If you just stop and then sit around and watch Netflix all day, nothing's gonna change. But I'm gonna show you something that you can replace alcohol with. By the end of this video, we're not just gonna unpack the short-term replacements for alcohol, but by the end of this video, you'll have a long-term replacement that you can rely on for the next 40 years. Hopefully, anyway, hopefully 40 years. For the rest of your life. If we've not met yet, my name is Leon Sylvester. I drank for close to 10 years, trying everything AA, willpower, going to church, begging God to help me. Nothing worked until I used first principles thinking, and for seven years I've not touched a drop. This is what I've been teaching people how to do with my company soberclear.com for the past six years. So the stuff that I'm going to talk to you about is proven in my own life, but also I've shown it to hundreds of clients. So, what is the replacement? Is it another drink? Is it a drug? Some big distraction? Well, yes and no. These are the short-term things that we'll unpack first, but the long-term thing is different. So when it comes to these things like other drugs, you know, distractions, these things are things that a lot of people use when they stop. I speak to people all the time. I must have had 3,000 conversations with people who are looking for help stopping drinking. So I hear everything. I hear some people that are trying ketamine therapy, uh, psychedelic therapy. I hear people saying, Well, Leon, what about if I take some edibles and then I stop drinking? So we know that people seek out these kinds of replacements. I've worked with other people, in fact, people that have got a hundred million dollar company saying, Do you know what, Leon? I'm buying a freaking PlayStation. I need something to do with my time. I need a way to just forget everything, forget the stresses. And people do this. And there is a time and a place for these short-term replacements. See, alcohol is used as a form of escapism. That's what people are doing. They get home and they're stressed, so they drink. They get home and they're tired, so they drink. People drink to escape things. So then when you remove alcohol, is you remove the ability for some people to switch off, to turn off things like video games, sometimes for other people, edibles or whatever else they're doing, some people start eating more. These things, you know, they're generally not the healthiest things ever, but people do start using them. The problem though is when people start to substitute alcohol for these things. What I mean is that when people come home after a hard day of work is that they go straight to the ice cream instead of drinking, and they continue to do that for months. When we start to try and substitute something else for alcohol, especially something unhealthy, the addiction can just switch. And we don't want that. So with these short-term replacements, they should be used sparingly. You've got to see them as tools. Because the short-term fixes, they don't actually solve the problem long term. They just give you a bit of relief. But that doesn't mean that a month down the road when the video games or the edibles aren't working, and I'm not saying to eat edibles, by the way, I don't recommend that. I just know that it's what people do. So there's a caveat to this. But when these things stop working, whatever, whatever it is, if you've not replaced it with what I'm about to say, then the voice in your head comes back. Well, just have one. Just have one to wind down. Okay, yeah, sure. You're you're extra tired today, you're extra stressed today, big events just happened, big things just happened. Have a drink. So the short-term fixes can be used, but they're not really going to work long term. The real replacement for alcohol, the long-term replacement for alcohol is literally sitting down with a pen and paper when you stop drinking, writing down exactly what you want out of life. It's literally writing, okay, I want, you know, this relationship, this business, this health, this, this, this, writing it all down on paper and replacing alcohol with that. There's nothing else that you can do here. What you need to do is go towards something better. Because you want to get to a place where in a month or two, when you've kind of got over the initial hump of stopping drinking, you want to get rid of these short-term replacements and just move on. Because you want to stop trying to escape life. When you stop drinking, you want to be able to tackle problems head on and move on. For example, maybe you've had some problem with your marriage and you keep drinking and there's a problem and you keep drinking and there's a problem, and then you stop drinking, you face the problem, it goes away. So you stop needing to escape the chaos of whatever was happening in the marriage. So hopefully now you're starting to see the bigger picture. You use the short-term replacement sparingly, but then you need to start working towards the life that you don't want to escape from. If you do this, everything will be easier. Not only will it be easier, but your chance of success must be a thousand times higher. Because the goal of stopping drinking is not to just change nothing, it's to step into the next version of you, the bigger version of you. It's to get to the next level. If you're not interested in that, then don't listen to me. Go and listen to somebody else. I'm not the person you should be listening to. I want to help you stop drinking so you can evolve, so you can become somebody new. Because I know that if you stop drinking, there's a version of you that's doing 10 times better than they are now. You might be in a good place. You might have the money, you might have the life, but there's so much more waiting for you on the other side of stopping drinking.
