TTAA Life Changing Experience

I found Lee’s The Truth About Alcohol course indispensable and highly effective. It dismantles a lifetime of conditioning and pervasive propaganda and clears a distinct path to sobriety by taking apart the drinker’s life element-by-element in a logical, careful and emphatic manner. It forces the drinker to assess the role of alcohol in their life and in the culture at large and dissolves the barriers between the previously floundering drinker and a fulfilling, self-examining, alcohol-free life. Nobody with an alcohol problem should be in any doubt that the course will help immeasurably and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I also sincerely thank Lee for putting his efforts towards transforming lives by ridding them of a ruinous reliance on a devastating and valueless substance.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to change their relationship with alcohol for good. You need to be ready to change, to be sick to the back teeth of drinking and have a determination to improve how you live your life. I was in a pretty bad place with my mental health and had been using alcohol as a crutch for about 20 years. I didn't have the best of childhoods, and a few years ago I disclosed being sexually abused as a child, this led to a court case, which was successful, but the personal impact was challenging. At 50-years-old I couldn't imagine a life without alcohol, it was damaging my health and my relationships. I'm not stupid. I knew that by continuing to drink I was causing damage to my physical and mental health. My big toes throbbed, my stomach was swollen, I had crippling anxiety and my blood pressure was through the roof. I always said I would stop tomorrow, Monday, or after an event. Like many of you, I first found Strive by listening to the podcasts. For those ladies of a certain age out there can I recommend Podcast number 7 - it's called "Unpickled." It resonated with me and got me thinking that I might also be able to quit. I have completed the course, and I thoroughly recommend it - it has changed my mindset, my outlook and I am a world away from the dark place I was in when I was drinking. I am guessing you are reading this because your relationship with alcohol is also unhealthy and that you too are looking to make changes - this course will help you do just that.

I started the course with an open mind and the initial week mentally prepared me for the coursework. It paved the way for a new way of thinking. The course brought a depth of awareness that has changed the way I now view the world. It flowed in such a way that I was able to keep the momentum going and was excited about the next lesson. At each level, I was able to process the content, reflect on the content and raise my level of awareness of the truth. I now feel strong enough to be the role model I want to be. I have more clarity on how to make better use my time by doing this course and now its time to get on with more work. I don't see that its actually "work", yes sometimes it's uncomfortable, and it hurts to sit in painful moments, but its also so rewarding as I enjoy challenging myself. I think exposing myself more and taking the leap of faith to allow the new challenges in my life. The course is about being more present and noticing the mistakes, screw-ups I make, and now I have the systems in place to work things out and move forward. When I first quit alcohol, I never imagined I would learn so much about myself and how I behave. We as individuals we are the only ones that hold the key to our freedom. It's the choices we make that determine how our future unfolds. Being involved with this course, interacting with others has widened my platform. Being encouraged to explain and discuss my views with others and support each other, has deepened my understanding of the issues we face. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who wants to change their lives and be free from alcohol. .
