When I say I don’t suffer from alcohol cravings, I truly mean it.

I’ve learned how to stop alcohol cravings in a very fast and simple way. Through practice, introspection, and taking a First Principles approach to stop drinking, I have figured out how to catch alcohol cravings before they go anywhere.

And, throughout this article, I’ll be showing you how to do the exact same thing.

Bear in mind, alcohol cravings weren’t always this way. I used to live my life at the mercy of a craving.

Every time I stopped drinking using willpower, it would always be the cravings that ended up beating me.

It would always be that little voice inside my head.

“Go on, just have one”…

Or

“You can control it now – go back to moderating.”

And then, before you know it, I’m back at square 1.

If you’re suffering from alcohol cravings, this article is going to shine some light on your situation.

It’s not going to be your typical “just distract yourself” type of advice. That stuff doesn’t work.

Instead, this article will teach you exactly how to deal with an alcohol craving. You’re definitely going to want to read this entire post.

Does this scenario sound familiar to you?

You’ve had a heavy night. You drank way more than you intended to that night.

You wake up in the middle of the night, thirsty for water, and feeling half-cut.

Your partner is asleep and doesn’t seem to notice you are awake.

You go to the bathroom, use the toilet, and frantically drink water from the tap.

You look in the mirror with bloodshot eyes, and say to yourself,

“I’ll never do that again”

You really, really mean it. You’re going to commit to a few weeks away from drinking alcohol.

Last night was just way too much.

You go back to sleep and wake up the following morning.

You wake up with a shocking hangover and drag yourself through the day.

And before you know it, it’s dinner time. The hangover has mostly worn off, but you still feel pretty bad.

All of a sudden, those reasons you had for not drinking seem to diminish.

You’re grouchy, and you end up pouring yourself a drink.

“Just one drink,” you say to yourself.

Before you know it, you are polishing off more than “just one” and the cycle starts again…

If you’ve ever experienced this scenario, I want you to know that you are not alone.

In other areas of your life, you’re smart, driven, and successful…But you just keep scratching your head about why you keep falling for alcohol…

Why do the alcohol cravings keep beating you?

Well, if that sounds like you, I know EXACTLY what it’s like to be in that situation…Because I’ve been there.

I think the biggest thing is to stop feeling like you are missing out. You aren't missing out on anything but loss of money, a hangover, and disappointment in yourself.

[olegE]

Just completed 12 months of not drinking, wooohoo.. I can tell you its one of the best things i've ever achieved!

[noelgibson]

When you drink alcohol, you only feel good during that 4-5 hour session that you're feel crap every other time.
When you don't drink, you feel good 24/7.
And think of the money 💰 you save by giving it up. The incentives are many.

Been sober from 1st Jan 2021, haven't looked back. Your content has been very helpful!!

I’m sitting here watching your video after two small bottles of champagne and now a glass of white wine thinking about getting another!! I’m 78 and have been drinking for years and years!! My skin is dehydrated and especially my face. I try all these lotions and potions to hydrate but no go when you still drink! I’m really hoping your words can help me...thank you. Hugs 💜💜

Drank everyday for 10 years, felt crap every morning but by half 2 after work I was drinking again. Only stopped when it affected my health to the point I physically couldn't eat, had a numb mouth all day and couldn't swallow food for nearly 5 years, had to survive on shakes and soups. That was my reason for stopping and never felt better. Good work on vids.

I'm sitting here watching your video and on my 3rd beer but the fact that I'm watching you is a realisation that I'm now in the process of quitting drinking it's been 2 days now that I have started to understand and pursue my goal I'm in my 5th week with no cigarettes so I know my will power is strong wish me luck I need to start the process of making a serious effort thanks sober leon

[skittlessunshine]

I'm struggling today. I'm glad I found this video. Rehab at 22 now I'm 32. I had almost three years sober when I was 26. As I've gotten older it's been hard. Thanks for this video

[AndyGinny]

I’ve just finished “dry january” and I’m feeling so good I’m going to keep going!

Point 2 is so true. You do really think that Alcohol adds value to your life but it really doesn't. I'm not an alcoholic however when I do have a drink it's normally around 4 or 5. So I've decided to completely quit, hopefully these videos can continue to motivate me.

Was sober for 10 months and relapsed, went through detox and rehab again now I’m at 4 months. This journey isn’t easy And these cravings are pure frustration, anger, and depressing. Thanks for the video

[steviec]

3 weeks sober (again) here now. I'd been drinking 38 yrs daily..A&E 6 times with severe withdrawals a detox and rehab. I did 66 days sober after detox and rehab then relapsed..probably 4 relapses now. I was like a week on booze then a week off it, i even adding 80% water to a large vodka kidding myself it was less harmful. Then the gap shortens of less than a week not using and more time with using till your right back in that misery pit all over again..thank you for listening and RESPECT for you Leon sir..great job! Good luck everyone and keep talking.

No answer to how to stop craving alcohol in 5 seconds, that's called click bait.

[cyberknife]

Couldn’t say it any better. The cycle is real. I drink to feel something other than the 9-5 work week.

Best channel I have seen lately, every story it's just part of my life and other millions alcohol addicted!

[skyisthelimit]

This man just explained everything I’m going through right now! He’s right! Thank you 🙏🏽

[Ghost.Spectrum]

I need to quit because it's getting harder to deal with boredom without it. I perceive myself as a bit of a failure and my life is boring and my drinking has increased fairly rapidly lately. Wish me luck👍

[alr]

Viewing alcohol as the poison it is helps me a lot. The next day feeling is a poison reaction. That’s what I remind myself.
Starting month two
Good luck everyone

Greetings Sober Leon!! I've been staying away from alcohol for 7 years, but I still get cravings!! It is this that gives me some pause (and some fear - I was pretty bad). So glad I found this channel, because I can use all the help I can get. It's not that I want to drink, it's just a stressful time right now. My primitive mid-brain is asking my frontal lobe where it can get some dopamine. Subscribed!!

I stopped drinking (this time) 5 months ago, on Jan 1st. Here is a scenario that I have not had to face recently: a wedding reception or party, or other social gathering where you feel nervous, awkward or bored and wish you weren't there, but you have to be, and everybody is drinking, and drinking has helped you get through this sort of thing in the past. What do you do? I can think of a few things now I have asked the question, but what would you do?
