Lewis Howes

So when you fail, you know, I've never been drunk in my life and I've never done drugs or any of these things or been high.

But I can assume how hard it could be to overcome the addiction of alcohol for people that have been alcoholics or drinking consistently.

I can assume it's extremely challenging.

Without the right tools.

Even with the right tools, it's still very difficult, I can assume.

Again, I've never experienced it.

But it's not the person who has been an alcoholic or having alcoholic tendencies that never does it.

It's when they relapse and drink and then they pick themselves up and go another hundred days without it or whatever it is.

They have to want to.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

If you're resistant to it, you're not going to improve.

Yeah, you don't want to face these parts of you.

No one wants to be like, something is wrong and bad with me.

We don't want that.

We don't want to feel like, man, I'm a failure.

I've messed up.

I've got this thing that I can't figure out on my own.

And that's why I have this addictive personality or I smoke or I drink or cheat or porn, whatever it is.

I do these things that don't feel good.

And I don't want to admit that.
