Dan Martell - 4 Reasons I QUIT DRINKING

00:00:00.000 Those are the four areas that I focused on

00:00:02.320 to allow me to quit drinking

00:00:03.560 without ever making it an issue.

00:00:05.400 And it's gonna be something I do for the rest of my life.

00:00:07.140 The last one's probably the most important.

00:00:08.820 First thing is I focused on the future.

00:00:10.900 My wife was pregnant and I just didn't wanna be that dad.

00:00:13.480 I grew up with it, my mom was an alcoholic

00:00:15.200 and I just thought this is not the future I wanna create.

00:00:18.040 The other aspect is my fitness.

00:00:19.560 Always being hungover and it was affecting my weight.

00:00:22.100 I would put on like 25 pounds

00:00:23.460 and I just didn't like the way

00:00:24.780 that I was walking around the world.

00:00:26.000 The other thing that had to change is the friend group.

00:00:28.260 Because I was the fun guy,

00:00:29.480 the moment i quit now all of a sudden people are like oh dan's not as fun anymore i made the

00:00:34.120 decision and i wired the belief in my mind that if i took one drink my whole life would fall apart

00:00:39.320 whether that's true or not it doesn't matter i believe it so allowed me to stay sober and number

00:00:44.260 four is focusing on being the one i decided i wanted to be an example of success i wanted to

00:00:49.100 be an example of persistence and overcoming adversity focusing on being the one in my

00:00:54.260 generation to quit drinking so that's not part of my kids experience growing up

00:00:57.960 Thank you.
