When Quitting Alcohol, You MUST AVOID These 10 Things | Dr. William Li

Описание: Most people believe quitting alcohol is about willpower, pain, or discipline.
That belief is exactly why so many people fail.

In this talk, Dr. William Li explains why stopping drinking doesn’t last when it’s driven by emotion alone — and what actually creates lasting change. This isn’t about fear, deprivation, or white-knuckling your way through life. It’s about understanding the psychological illusions surrounding alcohol, dismantling the beliefs that keep people stuck, and replacing resistance with clarity.

You’ll learn why:

Regret and shame don’t create freedom

Avoidance can quietly strengthen addiction

Moderation often restarts the same cycle

Identity labels can limit long-term change

Willpower alone eventually collapses

Vision and alignment outperform force

This is a perspective shift — from battling alcohol to outgrowing it.
From deprivation to expansion.
From constant resistance to quiet confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up back in the same loop — or why alcohol still feels powerful even when you stop — this talk will help you see the issue clearly for the first time.

Watch with an open mind. Clarity changes everything.
