One Minute Message 001 > Stop Drinking

Sometimes, when you’re trying to quit drinking, the voice in your head can get really loud. So I send out free one minute audio messages of encouragement (and ass-kicking) to anyone who wants them. This is a transcript of One Minute Message #001.

So I want you to imagine that there’s something else better for you
than what you’re doing now.

I want you to think about what could be,
rather than what is.

So if there’s a YOU who, right now, is a person who’s drinking —
and you want to be something else —
and you want something else to happen in your life,
and you don’t know how to get there,
and you don’t know how to get this voice in your head to stop …

I know what the answer is.

I know you don’t believe me when I tell you
that I know what the answer is.
Because the answer is stop drinking.

And when you stop drinking?
Things change.
