Getting in state … without alcohol

[High-Power]

Hey Champ, thanks for reading!

So ... I'm visiting my foks this weekend, they live in a town where I know no one.
Great opportunity for practicing social dynamics when I go out alone – I'm getting quite good at this, starting conversations with total strangers in bar settings … but only when I'm drunk …

Off cause skills in this field helps, but this is not the only reason why I'm the best (none community) bar networker I know … when I'm good I can start conversations with almost everybody … but I'm only good when I'm in a certain state and I can only consistently the into state when I drink alcohol.
Now I want to cut down on my alcohol consumption and still get into state.

I know I'm not the only one that have to deal with this … has anyone personally solved this issue for them self?

The best

A great post considering that right now, I'm not drinking for 40 days or 40 nights. I'm already noticing a huge difference, for instance my awareness is 100%, I'm noticing IOI's (or whatever crap) much much more.

You have to create your own state

How?

1. Get yourself in a Good mood--music/clothes/create your own reality
2. Psych yourself up--I did some shhit I never done before, and got hype

To many guys rely on liquor as a crutch when they don't realize it's actually hurting their game. I mean yeah you relax and can approach any chick, but even a buzz can kill your "alertness"/response time/ calibration etc etc.

I talk about this on my live audio FR

Do it like you would quit nicotine. Have one drink less than normal. Do that for a while. Then cut another drink etc etc
