Who Am I?
Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamed of wanting more out of life. I would see movies where the main character had a large house, a beautiful wife, a fast car, etc.
And I would dream that one day, that would be me.
But as I grew up, I was short and skinny, and I started becoming attached to the belief that my appearance wasn't good enough. I had a crooked smile, and my family was too poor for braces.
As a result, I was ridiculed in school and made to believe I would never "be cool" or find a girlfriend.
I even missed my senior prom because I felt no girls would care to go with me, even though I had girls asking my friends and female cousins if I had a date yet.
All this changed, however, when I discovered alcohol. Before my mom passed away, she instilled in me the dangers of alcohol, and for a good reason.
Alcoholism runs deep in my family across both sides, and she saw the raging effects it had firsthand. But when she passed away, I was alone to try the things I always wanted without any consequences, or so I thought (That would come later).
There Has To Be More...
After high school, while in college, I started attending parties and being the "cool guy." I even used my older brother to supply the beer. Life was fun, and I felt like the party would never end.

However, The party ended when I was 23. I was let go from my well-paying job and didn't realize the bad habits I had developed weren't suitable for mornings or weekends. I went from job to job, always getting let go because I was too hungover to show up.
I remember I kept the party going once, and a coworker said I reeked of alcohol. She had to give me mouthwash so I wouldn't get fired immediately. I don't remember driving to work that day. But that was just another day for me.
That was life for nearly ten years, losing countless job opportunities, friendships, and loving relationships.
Network Marketing
Around this time, I realized I might have a problem and tried getting sober. I did everything I could think of to get sober.
I learned about diet and nutrition to see what could work as a substitute for alcohol and help avoid crashing during detox. I looked to religion and went to confession.
I dove head first into self-help books and courses, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't stay sober for more than 90 days.
During my personal growth journey, I had the fortune to become connected to successful entrepreneurs who ultimately became my first mentors. I committed to overcoming my alcoholism when I went into business for myself under their mentorship.
I was motivated and determined, and my sobriety lasted for a while. I spent much time networking with successful people and learning marketing and accounting skills. But Alcohol is cunning, baffling, and powerful.
I remember reaching a milestone in business and deciding to take a shot to celebrate. Sure, I was fine that night, but I breached the dam, and in a short period, I returned to square one.
The cycle of belief and sobriety followed by doubt and relapse would again continue. Eventually, I was isolated and broke, with no family or allies.
Attraction Marketing
I hit rock bottom; fortunately, I secured a good sales job with the skills I learned going into business for myself. After that, I started making good money again, but if a man doesn't deal with his problems, they will soon catch up with him. Unfortunately, I was falling into the same trap I had just pulled myself out of.
On January 17th, 2022, I saw what my life was becoming. That Monday, I was hungover, and my supervisor said he would fire me if I didn't improve my performance. But unfortunately, I was several thousand dollars in medical and business debt and couldn't afford to be fired.
After work, I entered my local Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting and found a sponsor. Under his guidance, I followed the 12 steps to recovery and have stayed sober ever since.
Attraction Marketing
My turning point came when I discovered a simple program of living alcohol-free.
I realized that what was required wasn't just spiritual, personal development, financial principles, behavioral, and nutritional changes alone. I needed a program that blended all of these tenets—simply a program of values and strategies to stay and then live alcohol-free.
It has been more than two years since I got sober. Even though I still speak to my AA sponsor, I have made it clear I discovered a program for living alcohol-free that works for me outside of that organization. My program includes, among many things, the nutritional aspects of choosing to live alcohol-free, which are lacking in many 12-step programs.
I realized that our bodies have changed while in our active addiction, and bringing things into balance requires time and the proper diet and supplement combination. If we take the right approach with our bodies, we can keep our focus on the financial, mental, and spiritual healing aspects of living an alcohol-free life.
The culture on which I have based this program for living alcohol-free has helped countless professionals achieve breakthroughs in their alcohol-free decisions, finances, relationships, self-belief, and status within their community. I realized that we are all looking for a fresh start and the chance to repair all areas of our lives without judgment or ridicule about our past.
