Alcohol Mastery Podcast
Summary: Kevin O'Hara from Alcohol Mastery reveals all his strategies and techniques for helping you to quit drinking permanently. Alcohol Mastery is structured around the belief that Heavy drinking is just a habit that has simply gotten out of control. It’s a habit that 80% of the population has been brainwashed into believing is the norm. And, it’s a habit that is very simple to quit… you simply stop drinking. Alcohol Mastery focuses on the immense gains you get when you move away from alcohol, rather than dwelling on the loss of the precious poison. It’s about stepping away from the alcoholic label, perpetuating the AA type ‘alcoholic forever’ mentality, and blaming the alcohol instead of the drinker. Alcohol Mastery is about guiding you onwards, toward your new life of freedom, control, and self respect. Some of the topics covered include frequently asked questions about common problems you might encounter when you quit drinking, general quitting alcohol tips and advice, and regular updates about my stop drinking alcohol journey. There are new episodes being posted all the time, so make sure you come back regularly. Onwards and upwards!

Why does alcohol withdrawal kill you? It doesn’t. Many people, mostly with an interest in taking your money, will tell you that it’s impossible to quit drinking without some medical intervention (another of those alcoholic words)… That there’s a likelihood that you could die! People die all the time. People mostly die from drinking alcohol, not quitting drinking it!

On week 44 I talk about the strange goings on over on the YouTube site, the comments section seems to have gotten all fuzzed up, or the big G have decided to make a big change, again, without telling anyone, again! I answer the question did I get my liver checked out when I quit. And I talk about the people and things I would blame for my drinking.
Believing passionately about a future goal is a great tool to have in your arsenal for when you quit. It puts you into forward thinking mode, looking forward to the future and leaving your drinking past behind. Visualization can build up your image of yourself or it can drag you down. It’s up to you what you think about. You might as well start thinking great thoughts about yourself, and having that goal as part of your journey just helps to cement the image of yourself as a strong and courageous person.
Did you know that you can poison yourself so badly with alcohol that your body has got two choices, let you die or shut everything down and put you into a coma so it can try to deal with the poison that you have put into yourself!
How long does alcohol withdrawal last? For some it lasts a week or two. My symptoms lasted a month or so. For some people, their withdrawal will last them for the rest of their lives! Why? Because they let it last that long.

How do you cope with spending time with family members and friends who are all heavy drinkers? The only way is to be yourself. Don’t forget who is going on the journey, you are! It’s your body and your mind. Other people will come around to your way of thinking or not. You have to do it for yourself.
On this weeks Stop Drinking Alcohol, I talk about some changes on the site, the addition of iTunes to the way we’re getting the message out there, and how I’ve been caught up in the addiction language of alcoholism.
The answer is that it’s all part of the withdrawal process. The withdrawal that you’re going through is yours, no two people are going to share the same. The symptoms will be different, the length of time you suffer them will be different, the intensity levels will be different.
Alcohol Withdrawal is dangerous! Is it any more dangerous than alcohol consumption. This video explores the statistics behind the myth.
This week on Stop Drinking Alcohol, I talk about looking 42 weeks off the booze and shifting the weight again. I also take a look back at the first video I did all those months ago, How sad do I really look? I am shocked at the difference, not only in the way I look, but at my whole attitude. I was almost beaten!
Are you a functioning alcoholic? Are you alcoholic? Every person who drinks alcohol is alcoholic, they are taking a drug called alcohol. Most people who take alcohol are able to do other things besides taking the drug called alcohol, they function in other capacities outside and apart from drinking alcohol. So, most people who drink alcohol are functioning alcoholics. Welcome to the world of pin the label onto someone else… ‘the poor unfortunate!’
Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the most predominant signs of irreversible damage that has been caused by drinking too much alcohol. It is a condition that is widely associated with alcohol abuse.
