The Non-Drinker Identity - Powerful Hypnosis to Stop Drinking Without Willpower · The Hypnotist

0:05
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
0:09
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
0:12
genuine. Issues.
0:13
Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, Demanded by
0:16
celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
0:20
These recordings took place live from Adam Smith in London's
0:24
world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
0:31
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:38
Hi, it's Adam here. Now I work with people a lot and
0:43
I would say that the two habits or addictions, I work more than.
0:47
Any other? Are cocaine and alcohol and this
0:49
is an alcohol hypnosis session really to take on the identity
0:54
of a non drinker. Now some people just want to
0:58
moderate drinking, they want to reduce the amount they drink.
1:01
Other people, they want to be like I am teetotal, They don't
1:05
want to drink any alcohol whatsoever.
1:07
And personally, I can only vouch for myself that my life has
1:11
improved dramatically in the seven or eight years that I
1:15
haven't touched a drop of alcohol.
1:18
I used to use it if I was stressed or anxious or just
1:21
bored or socializing. Use it for social confidence.
1:25
And when you? Shut that door.
1:27
When you don't use it under those circumstances, you end up
1:30
developing all these other coping strategies that mean that
1:34
you don't need to be dependent on alcohol, you don't need to
1:37
use that crutch. So if you like the idea of
1:40
completely changing your relationship with alcohol and
1:43
being a non drinker, a non drinker is someone that doesn't
1:46
drink alcohol, you might get some real value from this
1:50
session. Now it was created for an
1:53
individual. Therefore, some of the
1:54
suggestions and metaphors would be right for them, not quite
1:57
right for you. So therefore, if you like the
2:00
idea of something crafted and bespoke specifically for you,
2:04
have a look at the description. There's a suitability test that
2:08
takes 60 seconds, but there's also resources for you to figure
2:12
out if hypnotherapy would be useful, including a webinar that
2:15
I've recently created, so check those.
2:18
Out for now. Though find a quiet, comfortable
2:21
place where you won't be distracted or disturbed.
2:24
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep.
2:44
Breath in. And as you breathe in, breathe
2:49
in that resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
2:54
And as you exhale, give permission to release.
3:01
Allow any feelings of tension, stress, and worry to gradually
3:06
and incrementally feel like it's leaving your body in every
3:11
outward breath. That's it.
3:15
Breathing and relaxation, exhaling tension.
3:22
And just do a quick mental scan of your body because sometimes
3:27
tension is hiding in the jaw, in the forehead, and echo the
3:34
shoulders. But every time you find some
3:38
tension, set the intention to release it.
3:47
Because when you breathe in slightly deeper and you exhale,
3:53
swipe slightly longer, you switch to a different part of
3:58
your nervous system, that rest and digest part that already
4:05
knows how to deeply relax now breathing in for deeper,
4:12
exhaling for longer. That's it.
4:15
And if you can find tension in your jaw, just imagine it
4:22
melting away like an ice cube in the sunshine and release it in
4:29
your outward breath, eyelids feeling heavier.
4:35
That's it. Even your forehead, those tiny
4:40
muscles responsible for expressions like surprise or
4:43
concern, give permission to release all of those muscles so
4:51
there's a heavy, droopy sensation in your face and that
4:55
ripples down, down into your neck, your shoulders, your arms.
5:04
And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel.
5:11
And the more relaxed you feel, the deeper you breathe.
5:15
And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
5:21
And I want you to imagine an out of body experience.
5:25
Allow your physical body to remain where it is and allow
5:30
your imagination to float up out of your body and head towards a
5:35
beach of golden sands, calm still, clear waters, maybe a
5:42
nearby bridge, and just imagine what it would be to be there on
5:48
that beach. And maybe you could imagine a
5:53
chair, not a beach chair, but the kind of chair that you
5:58
wouldn't find in a beach, a comfortable reclining chair.
6:04
And just imagine it's there on the beach.
6:08
Imagine lying in that chair, a gentle breeze, focusing on the
6:14
stillness of the water. And there would have been times
6:19
where that water was choppy if there was a storm or big winds.
6:27
But right now it's calm. And as you focus on the calm
6:31
Stillwater, imagine your mind synchronising with that
6:40
stillness and calmness. Almost like you're teaching your
6:48
mind to relax, to be still, To be clear, that's it.
6:55
And as I countdown from 5 to 1, I want you to imagine sinking
7:03
deeper into the chair, so relaxed you could imagine
7:09
drifting off into a dreamlike sleep.
7:11
There on that beach, in that chair by the Stillwater. 5 all
7:19
the muscles in your face relax now.
7:23
Four, feel a wave of relaxation down from your shoulders, down
7:30
your arms, to the tips of your fingers.
7:34
Let's sit. As five becomes 4, just feel the
7:36
heaviness of those arms. 3 Imagine all of your internal
7:43
organs relaxing at exactly the same time.
7:46
Your heart, your stomach, your lungs, even your intestines,
7:50
everything relaxing. As four becomes three, feel that
7:56
relaxation. And as three becomes 2, feel it
7:58
going down your legs as you start to imagine your arms and
8:04
your legs like the limbs of a puppet with no strings.
8:08
Limp, loose, relaxed one down into your toes and then rippling
8:13
back up to the top of your head and back down to your fingertips
8:17
as you feel a wonderful feeling. Well, there's nothing you need
8:22
to do. You just allow your mind to
8:27
create new connections, new ideas.
8:34
Change is inevitable. You don't wear the same clothes
8:38
you wore 10 years ago. You listen to different music.
8:44
There's foods you eat now that you didn't eat before.
8:47
Change is constant. And what if there's just one
8:52
more change, A change That's the first domino of a sequence.
8:58
And by making that one change, it stops a chain reaction of
9:04
destructive behaviours of regret.
9:09
And rather than needing to change everything, what if we
9:13
just focus on that first domino? Then you might find sometimes
9:21
when you resolve 1 issue, many other issues get resolved simply
9:28
because they weren't the issue, they were just in that chain
9:32
reaction. If your unconscious feels ready
9:37
to make a change, a positive change, let me know about
9:40
nodding your head. That's it.
9:44
And in doing so, allow your body to go even deeper.
9:50
Relaxed. Now that's it.
9:58
Breathing and relaxation, exhaling tension.
10:07
And I want you to get a sense, a sense of regaining control.
10:16
With each breath, you may begin to notice a growing sense of
10:21
command over your body, your thoughts, your choices, as if
10:27
control is something you already have.
10:32
What if you're just accessing it more deliberately now?
10:38
And as you go deeper, you can evaluate that there isn't just
10:43
one version of you. You have a different voice if
10:50
you speak to fluffy animals or small children.
10:55
You have different body language and posture if you're training
11:01
than if you're socializing. And there's the version of you
11:06
that followed patterns, predictable, automatic, and
11:10
familiar. There is that version of you
11:14
that starts with a drink and you already know where it leads.
11:21
Not exciting, not rebellious, just repetitive.
11:29
Part of you, deep down knows that the idea is better than the
11:34
reality. But there's that other version
11:39
of you that is calm, clear, and in control.
11:44
Not reacting, not pulled, not dependent.
11:48
The version of you that chooses. The version of you that is in
11:54
control and decides. And what if you start to see
12:03
something clearly now? That alcohol was never just a
12:10
decision, It was always the first domino, the quiet
12:17
beginning of losing control. You could be in charge of that
12:23
first domino, the 7th, 8th or 9th.
12:28
That just happens almost all by itself, like the train is in
12:34
motion and the brakes don't work anymore. start to fall, that
12:45
wasn't freedom. That was less freedom.
12:52
The inevitability told you you weren't in control.
12:58
You may have felt powerful, certain in an argument, in a
13:04
moment of intensity, but in reality it was less power.
13:14
And I want you to find that part within you that recognizes that
13:17
now, that you were never someone who lacked control.
13:24
You were just a person that temporarily handed it away, and
13:31
when that control came back, you were left with the regret, the
13:35
guilt, the frustration, the aftermath.
13:43
What if now you simply decide not to hand that control away?
13:52
There's a part within you, a strong part.
13:56
I never liked being told what to do.
14:01
A defiant, rebellious part. And maybe in the past that
14:09
energy pushed you towards things.
14:13
But what if we can harness that power within you?
14:18
Turn that same energy in a different direction?
14:24
It takes courage to do the opposite of what most people do.
14:31
Most people drink. It takes someone to be defiant,
14:36
to choose not to. Most people are sheep following
14:42
their herd to stand out. To do the opposite, to move in a
14:51
different direction, that requires real courage.
15:01
How rebellious are you if you're doing what everyone else does,
15:07
allow that part. That part that doesn't like to
15:10
follow patterns, that doesn't like to do what everyone else
15:13
does. That part that doesn't need what
15:19
others depend on to embrace. Embrace your uniqueness.
15:31
The person that can't be triggered into drinking again,
15:35
can't be pressured, cajoled, influenced.
15:43
That is someone mentally strong, a version of you that doesn't
15:50
need to escape reality. You master reality.
15:57
And I want you to imagine somewhere on that beach there's
16:03
a swirling vortex, a wormhole to a different dimension.
16:09
And just imagine a dream within a dream floating through that
16:12
vortex to a version of you in a parallel life.
16:20
That version of you that over a year ago made the decision to
16:25
stop drinking, but in that reality, you never started
16:31
drinking again. Maybe it's been 12/13/14,
16:39
fifteen months or more. In that parallel universe, an
16:45
identity already exists where you don't drink and never will.
16:52
That version of you figured out something that you're on the
16:54
verge of figuring out too. So let's visit that other
17:00
version of you. There's an invisible spy.
17:13
See what you do when you go away working for a few days In
17:18
return, See what you do when you're meeting up with friends.
17:27
See what that version of you does.
17:30
If there's strong emotional triggers like anger,
17:35
frustration, annoyance, sadness, that version of you doesn't
17:42
drink, even if in the past those triggers would have triggered
17:47
you to do so. And as you see that version of
17:53
you, notice how they carry themselves, how they walk into
17:59
rooms, calm, certain, unbothered.
18:03
A version of you that follows your own path can't be tricked
18:12
into triggered and doing something that deep down you
18:17
don't want to do. That version of you has no
18:22
internal negotiation, no debate, no resistance.
18:33
And I want you to imagine seeing that version of you that already
18:39
doesn't drink handle the situations that you're most
18:43
worried about. That could be a trigger to get
18:48
you drinking again. Maybe see a parent complimenting
18:55
that version of them, of how much better they are now, how
19:01
much more stable that they're proud of them, and see that
19:05
version of them thanking them, taking the compliment.
19:16
Or maybe a situation where there is some social pressure or
19:24
expectation to drink and see how that version of you that hasn't
19:29
drunk for more than a year handles that exact situation.
19:36
That version of you is immune, is protected and then just get
19:46
closer still invisible. Really observe their life.
19:54
How is their life better when alcohol and all of the things in
19:59
that chain reaction of dominoes Isn't there more time, more
20:06
money, more clarity, more control, less shame, less
20:14
frustration? I want you to consider.
20:19
Alcohol and everything that it led to, It's heavy baggage,
20:27
heavy weights weighing you down, stopping you from truly
20:34
accessing your potential. If a marathon runner trying to
20:42
run a marathon holding two big heavy bags, they may finish in,
20:49
but they would have been impeded that whole time.
20:53
I want you to see a version of you that has let go of all of
20:59
those things holding you back. Maybe there's more success, more
21:06
freedom with all the additional money.
21:10
Maybe it's been invested. Maybe it buys you time, freedom,
21:15
adventures that give you real experiences, real joy.
21:27
Some people make a decision in life to find the natural eyes,
21:33
the dopamine that comes from accomplishment, the emotional
21:37
roller coaster of taking a risk, going on an adventure,
21:43
challenging themselves to achieve a new goal.
21:48
And that version of you doesn't need gambling, drugs, or
21:53
alcohol. It's not needed.
22:00
And I want you to see that version of you through the lens
22:04
of respect, pride, and admiration.
22:09
This isn't someone else. This is you.
22:13
This is already what you're capable of, and the more the
22:17
proud you are of that version of you, the more you admire how
22:22
they're living their life, the more you unlock whatever is
22:30
impeding you to already become that person.
22:38
Maybe their friendships are more real.
22:44
Maybe there is when you level of ideas inside creativity,
22:51
inspiration comes because there isn't that fogginess that
22:56
follows a day or two of heavy drinking.
23:01
They're relaxed, present and sharp, and that's the opposite
23:06
of feeling blunted. That's it.
23:12
Just observe that version of you version of you that doesn't need
23:17
or want a drink. And as you observe, you realise
23:27
you fully understand that that version of you is indifferent.
23:32
They just made one clean decision and followed it through
23:35
until it became a part of who they are, not what they do.
23:39
And I want you to step into that version of you.
23:50
See through their eyes, feel what they feel.
23:54
That calm certainty, that quiet confidence, a real sense of this
24:04
is just who I am. And that version of you doesn't
24:11
even like the idea of drinking because you know it's fake.
24:18
The idea never lived up to the reality.
24:24
And as that identity settles in, you realise something powerful.
24:32
You're not becoming this person. You already are this person.
24:41
This is simply the version of you that doesn't compromise.
24:51
And what if your mind accepts fully, completely, that your
24:56
last drink was your last drink? Not because you can't, but
25:05
because you don't, Because it's no longer aligned with who you
25:11
really are. I want you to return back
25:18
through the vortex, back to your reality, but keep this identity
25:23
with you and imagine what your future looks like.
25:30
Imagine a situation where before you might have had a drink, but
25:35
now you don't and notice there's no tension, no effort, just a
25:42
simple and neutral thought. That's not what I do at work,
25:51
travelling, social settings, even on holidays.
25:57
You're the same person, clear, grounded in control, and others
26:07
may notice something different in you.
26:10
Not forced and not explained. A need for explanation is just
26:16
obvious. And in that future, I wonder if
26:22
you can imagine those people who thought you'd always go back.
26:28
Maybe there's phrases. Phrases that link to someone
26:33
that needs a drink, needs to use and drugs.
26:42
I want you to think of the faces of people that don't believe you
26:47
can be the very best version of you.
26:50
And you don't need to argue with them.
26:58
You don't need to convince them. Your identity, your decisions,
27:08
the way you just live differently
27:30
And you don't have to wait for that big moment.
27:34
You don't even need them to notice.
27:37
It's just over time, your results, your discipline, your
27:40
control become the proof that you are someone different.
27:49
And as alcohol disappears, something else expands.
27:57
Imagine a future with more time, more focus, more energy
28:07
channelled into things that actually build something.
28:13
Your health, your body, your energy improve your discipline,
28:18
your financial strength, your independence.
28:25
You can't remove something without replacing it.
28:29
And what if what replaces it is far more powerful?
28:35
You've been doing things to dilute your potential, not
28:39
amplify it. And when that changes, life gets
28:46
better. And I want you to connect
28:52
without calm certainty within you that this isn't temporary,
28:58
this is an effort. This is identity, and I want you
29:06
to ask all parts within your subconscious if they're willing
29:13
to embrace and accept this new identity, that this is simply
29:20
who you are and if all parts are willing to acknowledge, accept,
29:26
and integrate. Let me know by nodding your head
29:32
and you're already this person. Your last drink was your last
29:37
drink. Nobody knows.
29:41
You don't need to tell them. Let them figure it out.
29:46
And when they figure it out, that identity is simply not
29:54
wanting to choose to go back to the weaker, less in control
30:03
dependent, easily triggered version of you.
30:08
Why would it would? You've experienced something
30:12
better. It doesn't make sense to choose
30:16
something worse. Float back into that chair.
30:23
They're on the beach. Leave the chair.
30:27
Imagine floating upwards into the sky and floating all the way
30:33
back into your physical body. Now take a deep breath in
30:39
through your nose and out through your nose and wiggle
30:44
your fingers and wiggle your toes.
30:45
Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
30:50
from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken. Fully awaken the evolved
30:57
identity within you. Starting to count 123 Waking up
31:03
456. More alert 7-8.
31:07
Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
31:11
Wide awake, Wide awake, wide awake.
