1. You are NOT powerless
This program isn’t for people who want to sit around and feel sorry for themselves. There are no victims here and no depressing sob stories. We do share our struggles and work through overcoming them together – but we don’t dwell on the struggles or use them as excuses. We instead focus on strength and empowerment that gives you the ability to say no to alcohol.
2. You do NOT have a disease
We don’t view drinking as something you’ve inherited from your parents or grandparents. You’re not sick. You don’t have a disease. You choose to drink… you just have to work out why, then fix the issue. We focus on the 7 key areas of your life that fuel your decisions to drink – and help you get back on track in each one so you can live a happy, healthy and successful life.
3. Alcohol is not the problem, it’s the solution to another problem
Alcohol isn’t the real problem – it’s your solution to the real problem. You use it as an antidote. Whether that’s to numb the pain… to inflate low self-esteem… to be more fun at parties… or to feel alive… Alcohol is a way to cope with what’s wrong in your life. Once you solve the REAL issues that cause you to drink, you’ll no longer need the medicine – so you can throw away the bottle.
4. You DON’T have to quit forever
Never having a drink again for the rest of your life… is that the answer? Is it even possible? We don’t focus on giving up alcohol completely. Instead, we focus on the reasons behind your addiction – once you’ve fixed these, you’ll have total control over your decision to drink. It’s then up to YOU whether you never drink again… or have a quiet beer with dinner when you choose to.
5. Your greatest gift is the power to choose
Never let anyone tell you that you don’t have a choice – because you do. In fact, it’s your greatest power… your greatest gift… it’s something alcohol can NEVER take away from you. If you CHOOSE to stand up and take control, you CAN. After all, you’re the one who picks up the bottle in the first place. You’re the one who goes back for that 10th or 11th drink. And you’re definitely the one (the ONLY one) who can stand up and break the cycle… so do it NOW!
