 Hi there, this is James Swannick and you're listening to the Alcohol Free Lifestyle podcast where you learn how to take back control over alcohol and live a life of health, wealth, love and happiness. What happens in the first 7 to 10 days after you quit drinking? Hi there, I'm James Swannick from the Alcohol Freedom Formula, there's some free resources for you down below, click on those to get started so you can quit drinking. Some of the 20,000 people who I've helped quit drinking tell me that in the first 7 to 10 days their sleep is a little bit disrupted, they're a little bit more irritable than usual, their skin starts to feel just a little bit funny like flaky dry etc. These are all perfectly normal. When you first quit drinking your body is going through a shock of sorts. It's been so used to you feeding it toxins and poison for many years that when you now deprive it of that very toxin and that very poison then your body is reacting to that. It's basically craving the poison and craving the toxin. So it's perfectly normal in the first 7 to 10 days to feel just a little bit irritable but stay the course because on the other side of that is clarity, focus, energy, amazing sleep, wonderful relationships, improved energy. Now people often say well why would I even put myself through that? Why do I even want to go 7 to 10 days of not drinking and disrupt my sleep and be a little bit more irritable and have funny skin and like why would I do that? Well kind of look at it this way, it's short-term pain for long-term gain and is it really more pain than what you've been causing yourself over the years anyway which is fogginess, lack of motivation, putting on weight, feeling lethargic, being irritable, low energy, fighting with your husband or wife, not being a great role model for your kids, not building your business, not getting a promotion at work, not producing. That kind of pain has been with you for many many years and it will continue to be with you for many many years if you continue to drink. So if you can put up with 7 to 10 days of minor inconvenience or feeling just a little bit funny as the toxins and the alcohol and the poison of alcohol leaves your body then it's amazing on the other side, beautiful on the other side. Tens of thousands of people now have used my formula for quitting drinking and keep saying all the time I've lost weight, I saved my marriage, I created that business, I took that trip, I saved so much money oh my goodness I'm making so much money now that I have the clarity and the focus and the energy. There are people, famous people throughout history who have chosen to go on alcohol-free. Abraham Lincoln, the movie star Bradley Cooper, President Donald Trump, love him or hate him, he gets a lot of things done in his life, good or bad, hasn't had a touch of alcohol in his entire life, his brother actually died of alcoholism and that was enough for him not never to touch a drink. Jennifer Lopez, the singer, actress doesn't drink, Tyra Banks. All of these people have chosen to go alcohol-free and as a result of that their life has exploded. So if you can put up with those first seven to ten days and by the way it may only be two or three days it might even be nothing you may not even feel any disruption you might just feel beautiful the very next day that you wake up but if you can put up with those seven to ten days of a little irritability not sleeping great tossing and turning getting used to the fact that you're no longer putting alcohol in your system then the other side is everything that you want. Go from a six out of ten to a nine out of ten. Go from like feeling okay to feeling amazing and even if you don't believe you're going to feel amazing at the very least feel the way that nature always intended you to feel because nature did not intend you to drink alcohol. Nature didn't intend you to drink poison. Nature didn't intend you to pour these toxins down your body every single day. Nature intended you to feel the way that you're supposed to feel. So if you want a glimpse of that put up with the seven to ten days of irritability and poor sleep because on the other side it's amazing. There's some resources down below to help you get started.
