Very helpful video, Leon! When stopping alcohol, it's important to be mindful of several factors that can help prevent relapse. Here are some things to avoid: 1. Avoid places or events where drinking is a primary activity and limit contact with friends who drink excessively. 2.Try to avoid situations that cause significant stress, as they can lead to cravings. 3. Avoid being alone for extended periods; engage with supportive friends or groups. 4. Avoid negative thoughts of past mistakes; focus on your progress and future. 5. Accept that recovery is a journey with ups and downs; don’t pressure yourself to be perfect. 6. Don’t think you’re “cured” after a period of sobriety; stay vigilant to potential triggers. 7. Try not to neglect your physical and mental health; maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. 8. Keep yourself busy with an activity that makes you feel good. 9. Lean on close sober friends and family for support. 10. Consult a healthcare professional for a treatment plan and seek medical advice.
I am almost a year alcohol free.🎉 thank you for your videos. My husband also fillowed suit. I have 9 amazing kids...my oldest will go to college next year. I am teaching them to never touch it. But, what do I tell them to do when they are pressured or feel out of place at college. I have educated them on all the health things. I'm so worried. I fear they will be addicts. Bc we live in a world that thrives on alcohol and pot.
So i'm really going to try and quit, i wonder; does watching the sober videos on TH-cam and researching and all that actually make it harder to stay sober bc its in my face/on my mind all the time, or does it help? What do you guys think?
Lean is talking 1st principle thinking. I do not see that reflected in many of the comments. To boil it down, I think his 1st premise is to see alcohol as a poison that is just slower than drinking bleach or antifreeze (which tastes sweet). Also that it hinders achieving your goals. For me, using Leon's approach is very helpful, but also, for me, listening to other podcasts like Getting Sober... Again. In saying that, I see Leon's approach as the most Ninja like at attacking my misconceptions about Alcohol. I do see a difference between his and other podcasts. His seems the best approach. But the other podcasts for me also are encouraging. It would seem to me that the toxicity Alcohol puts in the brain will make it hard, very hard for some to make it to 24, 48, 72 hours. But once they do the 1st big hurdle is jumped. I think his presentation of 1st Principle Thinking is powerful and can be transformative.

Its funny how tables turned on perception of alcohol
There is not a single thing good about it .

Talk about driver license reinstatement programs and things like AA program circles around each other like cat chasing a mouse.
AA is a recruiting ground for religious groups, they systematically target vulnerable people.
