"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My background: Now I'm 41. I started drinking at 18. I pretty much drank every night. I would estimate that 75% of nights I didn't remember going to sleep, I was that drunk. I quickly progressed to a pint of whiskey, every night. AT LEAST. I realized I had a problem in my mid 20's. I tried and tried and tried, but I couldn't quit. For 15 FUKKING YEARS!!

Finally, I stumbled across this book:

The Easy Way to Stop Drinking, by Allen Carr.

Their worldwide seminars have a 90% success rate. 90%!!

I read the book several times last summer. The book is one giant MIND FUKK. Since then, no booze. no desire, no willpower, just a shift in thinking. I can sit in a bar surrounded by booze hounds now and not crave a drop in the slightest. I pass by the liquor section of the supermarket now, and look at the bottles like they were jars of anchovy flavored mayonaise or something. NO DESIRE AT ALL.

So if you've got a problem, or think you've got a problem, give the book a try.

Also, if you wanna quit smoking, he (Alan Carr) also has a book out on smoking, which is similarly successful. I wouldn't know since I never smoked.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
