The Truth About Alcohol (Why Quitting Feels So Hard)

Elon Musk, Booze Culture & The Danger of Outside-In Living

When Tesla becomes a political lightning rod, it’s not just about cars but how all our choices signal identity. And when those signals are rooted in validation, we’re trapped in outside-in living.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why Tesla’s brand crisis mirrors your own inner struggle.

✅ How alcohol choices are often about fitting in, not feeling free.

✅ The danger of living from PARTS—triggered by approval, safety, and acceptance.

✅ What it really means to live inside-out, from SELF.

Trump’s Alcohol Tariff: Why It Won’t Stop People Drinking

Governments think they can control alcohol consumption through pricing, but they fail to see the truth.

 

A 200% tariff on European alcohol might sound like a good move, but let’s be honest—people don’t quit drinking because it’s expensive. They cut something else instead. That’s the power of the Liquid Lie—it makes alcohol feel like a necessity, no matter the cost.

 

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why price hikes won’t make people stop drinking.

✅ How alcohol consumption isn’t a financial decision—it’s an automatic response.

✅ The real cost of alcohol beyond money—your health, energy, and peace of mind.

✅ Why governments keep getting it wrong with alcohol policies.

The Day I Quit Gambling and Alcohol—For Good

🚨 The Day I Quit Gambling and Alcohol—For Good 🚨

 

They don’t make wise, rational choices. These inner child parts—the ones running the show when we drink, gamble, binge, and scroll—aren’t strategists. They don’t think ahead. They react, they chase, they grasp at control.

 

That’s why I bet beyond my bankroll. Ate junk food I didn’t even like. Bought shit I didn’t need.

 

It was never about the money. It was about control. Trying to soothe something inside me that alcohol had numbed but never healed.

 

When I quit drinking at 35, I thought that was the big boss battle. But lurking in the shadows was another problem, bound to my drinking like handcuffs. And the moment I let go of alcohol, gambling disappeared effortlessly.

 

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why alcohol and gambling are more connected than you think.

✅ How alcohol keeps you stuck in a cycle of impulsive, self-destructive choices.

✅ Why quitting alcohol wasn’t enough—I had to go deeper.

✅ How the STRIVE Method helped me dismantle the illusions of control.

✅ Why keeping momentum after quitting alcohol is everything.

ALCOHOL BLACKOUTS & THE DANGER WE IGNORE

🚨 The Truth About Alcohol Blackouts 🚨

 

Blacking out wasn’t just a phase—it was the norm. Not just for me, but for everyone I drank with. We laughed it off, wore it like a badge of honour. But here’s the truth: blackouts aren’t harmless. They strip us of control, leave us vulnerable, and make us complicit in a culture that turns a blind eye to real danger.

 

From my own experiences to the shocking realities I’ve witnessed around the world, this episode uncovers the hidden risk of alcohol blackouts—the one we’re told not to talk about. If you’ve ever woken up with no memory of the night before, you need to hear this.

The Football Booze Myth

🎙 The Football Booze Myth – Does Alcohol Really Enhance the Game? ⚽🍻

 

Scotland is debating lifting its long-standing alcohol ban at football matches. But does drinking really make the experience better—or is it just another illusion?

 

We’ve been conditioned to believe that booze enhances the thrill of live sports. But if you take a step back, you’ll see the reality: alcohol numbs your senses, drains your wallet, and distances you from the raw energy of the game. I’ve been to football matches both drunk and alcohol-free as fuck, and let me tell you—the difference is night and day.

 

This isn’t just about football. It’s concerts, festivals, and live events. We’ve been sold the idea that drinking is part of the ritual, but the real magic? It’s in being fully present.

 

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The truth behind alcohol’s grip on football culture.

✅ Why drinking actually dulls the experience, rather than enhancing it.

✅ The hidden cost of alcohol at sporting events—from missed moments to financial waste.

✅ How to challenge the myth and show up fully present at your next match.

 

🎯 Today’s Vow:

“I will not drink today. I will challenge the belief that alcohol makes any live event better. I will be fully present for the things I love.”
