You know, him and P. Diddy. But that's a different story. Yeah, so it's all about Sober October. So if you're enjoying... That's right. If you're enjoying Sober October, if you're observing Sober October, please put a comment below. And basically, I don't know how long this show is going to be. We're going to see his interacting and comment and so forth. Oh, there we go. So I want to share a story with you tonight. In fact, a story about being sober. And I want to share a technique with you as well that I use with many of my hypnosis clients to help them if they are in the grasp of alcohol and they want to... get off of it if they want to have a break from that um please do bear with me yeah so I'm going to be sharing that story with you a real story a little bit later on um about clients and me sober october how it all works how I got into this I'm going to share a technique as well if you do if you are observing sober october if you're looking to get rid of the alcohol consumption in your life whether that's forever or whether that's just a month I'm going to share a technique with you a little bit later on so do stay tuned uh to that it's like actually running a real bloody television station here I've got this special platform right this platform lets me simulcast to facebook youtube uh facebook again because I've got marble pages um twitter or x as it's called now. And I'm happy to do TikTok from my phone. So TikTok is going to be a little bit different. So I'm curious if you're watching anywhere from other than TikTok right now, you'll probably see a little blue thing written at the bottom. What social are you observing? What social are you watching me from right now? I would be curious to know what platform are you watching me from now? Is it Facebook? Is it YouTube? Is it Instagram? Is it TikTok? Put that in the comments. That would be interesting. Yeah, so Sober October. So the first thing I heard about Sober October, if I'm honest with you, was I was watching the Joe Rogan show or listening to it a few years ago. And he mentioned this thing called Sober October. In England, where I'm originally from... They have a thing called Stoptober. And Stoptober is a campaign to help people to stop smoking over the month of October. But in Canada and North America, where I am right now, it's Stoptober, stopping drinking. And to be honest, I don't care if people drink or not. I'm personally straight edge and hardcore. But I don't care if people drink or not. But oftentimes people come to see me because they want to quit drinking and drinking too much. If you are someone that does drink too much and wants to stop this affecting you mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. then you should see a little scroller at the bottom that says stop binge drinking. I've produced ten free videos, ten free videos on stop binge drinking. You should see it on the little scrolling platform text below. If you'd like those videos, it's ten videos. It's about four hours of free content. Just go to stop binge drinking. or follow the little scroller at the bottom of the screen. And you can get those ten videos, which equal about four hours of content. And you can watch those and give you some ideas about how to indeed stop drinking, whether that's for life or for October. So I'm curious also, folks, as he looks at the comment and multitasks, I'm going to read some of the comments right now. Hey, YouTube. That's right. Jamie's on YouTube. What other platforms are you watching me on, guys? I'm curious. We know YouTube is covered right now. Anybody watching, viewing from Facebook right now? If you're watching from Facebook, I want to see if my little comments are working here. So Facebook, if you are watching from Facebook right now. And there's some of these things I have to go on in the actual moment to see some of these comments come up If I come running like a TV show doing all of these things at once right now to read your comments because I don't miss your comment Okay anyone else made in the comments? Yeah, so if you're if you're watching on on tiktok right now put it all message I'm happy to see tiktok on the cell phone because this is my program on my desktop boring shit you don't want to know this uh doesn't cover tiktok um but yeah if you are watching from tiktok Put TikTok in the comments, please. It will help me to know who the actual beam, the signal is going at. If you're watching from Facebook, please put Facebook. If you're watching from X, please watch from X. If you're watching from somewhere else, be curious where you're watching from. But yeah, like I say, every month and every week, every Wednesday at seven p.m. Eastern. will be the hypnosis show on whatever the platform you're watching right now. And this month, because it's Sober October, I'm going to be sharing stories, some techniques to help people. And the way I work is I believe in Giving real practical tools, tools that you can actually leave this live tonight and to administer on yourself to overcome the craving, the urge to drink. You can use it for other things as well, to be honest, but we're focusing on that this month. Next month will be something else. But we're going to take advantage of this nationwide, countrywide, North American-wide thing of Sober October. I'm curious, which country are you watching from right now? Because this is going on all my social media platforms. Close to a million views, subscribers, followers on the Facebook, on the YouTube, on the X, on the Instagram, TikTok, in case I haven't said that already. So I'm curious. this is going all around the world right now so who and what country are you watching me from right now and put it in the comments below I'll be keeping an eye on those comments as we go along tonight like I said please bear with me because I'm having to go to like literally five different screens to make sure that this is going out there um If you've got me, if anyone watches from Facebook right now, if you could just put in the comments Facebook, because it should be on Facebook right now, but I can't see if it's going live on Facebook right now. Oh, I think I am live on Facebook. That's great. Lovely. Facebook seems to be working fantastic. YouTube is good. X. Anyone watching on X or X is working? Lovely. Thank you so much. All right. Very good. Canada. Jamie's watching from Canada. Yeah, lovely. Thanks, Jamie. Where else are people watching from? Put in the comments below where you are watching from here tonight. OK, so. I'm just looking at what's going on on my other screen here on TikTok. The only interesting thing about TikTok is I did a little trial, right? I did a little trial over last week. They've got these weird things on TikTok where you have to accumulate a certain amount of live time in order for things to unlock, to get more perks and stuff when you're doing live streams like this. And so what I did is I put the live stream on as I went to bed. So you saw like a darkened version of my couch, to be honest. just so I could accumulate those magical points while I was sleeping because I believe in efficiency. And I'd wake up and like literally hundreds of people would have watched the live, which was like, you see this couch? If I turn all the lights off, you would barely see it. But like hundreds of people were watching it at like two o'clock Eastern Standard Time were watching my couch, which is a bit weird. I would like get hundreds of thumbs up on TikTok. So it was a curious thing. I wasn't actually doing anything. So if you joined us from TikTok, put it in the comments below. If you're observing Sober October, if you're looking to stop drinking, put it in the comments below because this is what we are specialising in helping you with this month. Creepy people. That's right. Some people are creepy. I mean, I got some interesting tastes, but I don't know if I want to look at someone's couch at three o'clock in the morning when there's no light. So you barely make an outline. It is weird. Yeah, it's a weird thing. All right. So where are we? Let's have a little look at the banners. If you want those ten recordings, free recordings on how to stop binge drinking, then you should notice at the bottom of the screen it should say stop binge drinking. You go over to my website, sign up, doesn't cost you anything. It's ten videos totaling about four hours of content. to help you to get to grips with stopping drinking. And you can find out about some of the other stuff that I do there as well. So let's see if the magic of this works. oh that headline should have just changed at the bottom there so uh as I started off today what do you want to talk about so folks we are going to talk about sober october I'm going to give you some tips going to share a story or two with you um about drinking or appliances that drank and techniques I've used with them um but but also what do you this is an interactive environment here so I want to know what you want to talk about as it relates to hypnosis uh becoming sober stopping drinking so please do put that in your comments below because I want to be answering I want to be communicating I want to be interacting with you I want to make sure that I'm delivering the content the right content for your ears so it helps you so what would you like to talk about or as uh la night would say oh no it's not la night is it la night is someone else no l and I do something else I'm getting my rest is mixed up here um anyways forget it What do you want to talk about tonight? It's Cody Rhodes. So what do you want to talk about tonight? What do you want to talk about as it relates to hypnosis? What do you want to talk about as it relates to being sober? What do you want to talk about as it relates to personal change? The only way I can know what you want to talk about is if you put comments below. So I can have a little read, see what you're putting there. Okay. Like I said, I'm manning this thing here tonight and seeing these comments. I'm happy to go through all of these platforms right here because sometimes this app that I'm using, it will display the comments on the app. And other times I actually have to directly go into the social media platform to see what the comments are. Let's have a look what that says right there. I've got quite a few people. That's lovely. All right. as the number clicker goes up. All right, so I promised you, didn't I? So let me tell you a little bit about me. If you know me, if you've ever watched a product, if you've ever watched a video, if you've ever read a post, if you've ever come to any of my talks, if you've ever listened to a podcast, if you've ever worked with me one-on-one, please put it in the comments below. It'd be interesting to see who I'm reaching out and touching there. Melanie Germain, a.k.a. The HypnoPixie, is watching on Facebook. Great to see you live. Thank you very much to the magical, amazing, wonderful, beautiful, inside and out, HypnoPixie. So how did I get involved in that? Well, why do I help people become sober if they choose to? Well, growing up, my dad used to drink a lot, drink a lot. Probably drank himself to death, to be honest. And in England, where I'm from, it's a very high drinking culture, right? Everyone that I knew drank, especially guys, drink and drink and drink. And my dad would drink a lot. Certainly wasn't violent or anything like that. But he's probably a functional alcoholic. He'd probably get hammered about Monday, Wednesday, Friday when he'd come to see us and probably Saturday and Sunday, about five days a week. Yeah, he would drink a lot. He'd become silly when he would drink a lot. Not violent, not angry, but it was probably the only time I'd got any emotion out of him. And although I love my dad, who passed away a couple of years ago in COVID, I'd made the decision that I just didn't want to be like that. I didn't want to drink. I saw the effects that it was doing to him and I didn't want to be like that. And I'm certainly not here judging people. If you drink, you drink responsibly and you enjoy it. Fantastic. Keep doing it as your life. I'm not here to preach people to stop. I'm only here when people put their hand up and say, I drink too much and it's making me suffer. And it's hurting me, it's hurting my family, it's hurting my opportunities in life, in my career, my health. And I really want to stop, but I don't know how. Probably tried rehab, probably tried AA. probably tried other forms of therapy, maybe even some kind of medication, but nothing worked. And Luke, I need some help from someone different. I need some help with you. So that's when I come online. Certainly not here to judge or tell people if they drink responsibly and they enjoy it to stop. That's what you do. Fantastic. I personally don't, but more power to you. But I made the mental decision. when I was twelve or thirteen not to drink because my dad had had a heart attack and he'd gone to hospital and it was accumulation of drinking and smoking alcohol and he had a heart attack. I was about thirteen and I remember going to the hospital and seeing my dad hooked up to all kinds of medical machinery. And if I'm honest, the moment I walked into the hospital, my dad wasn't moving. So I shit myself. I thought my dad was dead because no one told me he had a heart attack going. The hospital was not moving. I thought my dad had died as soon as I went in the room. It was very scary. And I'd make the decision just I just didn't want to do that. If ever I had kids, I have no kids that I'm aware of. It's a lame one, but I use it. I didn't want to put them through that. And in England, we have this thing. We call it like laddish culture. And it's guys, typically guys. And there's certainly ladettes would be the female version. And now females are very young. I just drink too much. And they get aggressive. They get loud. They get obnoxious. They get fucking annoying. and I just I just didn't want to be like that I just didn't want to be like it so so I probably drank in my life I'm forty five right now I probably drank in my life less than five times all before the age of twenty and so like a beer or wine or uh like a bailey's that was it and I still had a taste of it and I realized it wasn't for me um but but but in england From London, it's not cool. It's not cool not to drink. If you don't drink, when I grew up in the nineties, it kind of ostracized. It's not cool. You are not a funky, cool person if you do not drink. especially when like your family members or friends do um but I've made that decision not to do that and um you know probably went until oh I'm gonna say which was about years ago so I would have been about around about big wrestling fan right and this wrestler come on the scene called cm pump came to wwe And this guy's whole gimmick was he was straight edge. Didn't know what a straight edge was. What a straight edge. He looked cool. He had these tattoos, this long hair. And he just seemed really cool. And he was, like, talking about not drinking and, like, his only addiction is competition and wrestling. I'm like, oh, wow, here's a representative from somewhere that I like wrestling, big wrestling fan, from an EI to a grasshopper. and here's someone I find is cool and he's promoted it's actually okay not to drink you can go to concerts you can have fun you can socialize you can get get girls get guys if that's your thing and you can still be very very cool and not drink And it was the first time I'd seen that represented in the media in forms of entertainment or sports entertainment. So I'm like, I'm hearing about this thing straight edge. And I realized straight edge is not drinking, not smoking, not doing any drugs. I'm not gambling. I put in there no hookers as well, but I don't know if that's officially part of it, right? But then I was like, holy shit, here's somebody who is cool, looks cool, is a wrestler, great look, and they don't drink. Wow, and they're preaching you can still be very successful, happy, great competitor, great wrestler, and not drink. And it was like, wow. So CM Punk became like my first, I guess, I don't want to say role model. But the first kind of beacon, the first light that showed me it was okay not to be a drinker. I know times have changed, but I'm talking about being in England. in the nineties when everyone I knew drank. So seeing this guy CM Punk in in twenty oh six, actually, even though I wasn't drinking, but seeing someone be really cool as well. I don't have to drink. I can still be a part of society. I could be part of other societies and other groups and misfits. And it's cool. it's cool to do that and um so that's really when I started to learn about straight edge and really really straight edge like I say it's not drinking not smoking not doing any drugs not gambling and maybe or maybe not using hookers who knows um and then um I realized it was a whole movement and the straight edge movement came from punk music hence why my nickname was the hypnopunk in punk music, especially in America and in England a little bit, is when youngsters went to punk concerts in the nineties, the concerts, the establishment, the bars, the clubs, they didn't want to be shut down. And anyone of any age, after the age of about eleven, I don't know if like seven year olds were going, would go to these bars these clubs to these straight edge these punk concerts but the establishment would be shut down if they if they sold the establishment sold alcohol to the young people in there so what they did is they'd get like a big marker pen it maybe it was red maybe it was black and they put an x on the back of their on the back of their wrist I don't have an x on the back of my wrist but I have an x right there on both of my um wrists and the x was to tell people that this person is underage so don't serve them any liquor so young people under sixteen in england eighteen I think in north america and could go to these concerts to go to punk concerts have fun could even get into fights and mosh pits and stuff like that right um but not to be served alcohol so a whole movement span from that musicians span from that and that's how the whole straight edge uh community was born so it was good to see something out there where I didn't have to go around with what everyone else what my peers were doing I could be part of something else I could be a misfit without having to drink I get in enough trouble without having to drink to be honest drinking would just be another problem yeah so that's kind of how I got into being sober yeah I haven't drank in oh no twenty five years and that was only five like times even if you count that five separate drinks I think in my life and um but that was just a decision that I that I made anyways long story short I started to attract people as a hypnotist as a change worker somebody that helps people change their emotions their beliefs um their patterns that have been holding them back whether it's drinking too much drugging too much smoking too much and they want to quit I started to attract a lot of people that had become disenfranchised with NA, Narcotics Anonymous, AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, rehab centres, other counsellors, therapists, psychologists, medication, hadn't helped them. And they'd go to counselling and the counsellor would be like, oh, they're there. I don't know if they stroke them or not. If a counsellor's stroking you, you probably want to leave the office. But, oh, there they tell me how tough your life is. Here's a newsflash, guys. Everyone has a tough fucking life. I have a tough life. Everyone has a tough life. No one gets off easy, right? We've all got our addictions, except all of our addictions are created the same, right? And if someone who's addicted to heroin is a bit different to me who's addicted to wrestling, right? They're addictions, but they're not all on the same level. live to be about eighty watching wrestling and not die I don't know if I'm using heroin every day if I'm making it to eighty right but we've all got our addictions but they're not all negative we're all addicted to something but it's about using choosing the right addiction for you so people come to me when they want to stop drinking and I would track a lot of these people even before I'd really advertise it people were like oh I don't know something about you I don't know why you talk and I don't know why I never drank People are like, you help people stop drinking and you've never really drank? Yeah. Well, how do you do that, Luke? Well, that's a bit like saying you've got cancer and you go to the cancer surgeon and he cuts the cancer out of you and then you're cancer free. Does the surgeon ever have to have had cancer himself or herself in order to operate on you and help you heal? Well, the answer is no. course not right so so no I've never been addicted to an illicit substance but I've been addicted to other things in my life um so you know not all addictions are created equally or I should say they're not all as uh devastating as as alcohol can be out there but all that to say you know I don't need to have drank in order to help people stop drinking I don't need to have been fat to help people become slim. I don't need to do these particular things in the same way a surgeon doesn't have to have had the whatever the thing is they're cutting out of your body. They don't have to have had it on their body and cut it out of their body in order to help you. No, they go to school to help people. And this wasn't something I chose. I didn't choose to specialize in helping people stop binge drinking. It kind of chose me. And here I am helping people stop binge drinking or over drinking or problem drinking, whatever label you want to put it. If you're over consuming alcohol, that's why I specialize in helping people with. So I want to share a little story with you. Hey, Amanda, how are you? Good. Fantastic. Fantastic. Just reading Jamie's comment right here. I'm just along for the ride. Thanks to you. Wow. Well, yeah. So Jamie put it up on the screen there. Jamie's a hundred days without alcohol. That's bloody amazing, Jamie. It's true. I was thinking about you, actually. It was either yesterday morning on my way to my MMA class or today because I hadn't heard from you for a bit. So it's really lovely to hear that you're still doing bloody amazing. A hundred days. Jamie came to see me for some stuff. And a hundred days later, I'm sure he doesn't mind because he's put in the comment here and he made a video for me. And yet he's he hasn't drank in a hundred days. Bloody amazing, Jamie. I'm proud of you, man. You do great. It's fantastic to read that. So I want to share a little. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Amanda shouts out to Jamie. Amanda's on Facebook. She's saying congratulations to you for that. Jamie. Yeah. Jamie's like cigarettes, drugs, alcohol. It's all done. That's amazing. Yeah, some of these comments, guys, you might hear me referencing somebody who's not on the platform. So I'm speaking to Jamie and he's on YouTube and Amanda's on Facebook. So you might not see those comments. So I'm sharing those comments if they don't cross pollinate, so to speak. All right. I said I was going to share a story with you. But if you're if you're just new to joining us, this is the hypnosis show. I am Luke Michael Howard. If you want to help stopping binge drinking, over drinking, problem drinking, you'll see a little scrolling thing at the bottom that says stop binge drinking, stopbingedrinking.com. You can go there and get my ten free videos that total about four hours to help you get to grips and start to do the work in overcoming problem or over drinking right there. Yes. So I will change his name to protect him. And it's not Jamie. All right. Someone else. I had a client from the UK and we were doing Zoom sessions as I do all my work now. I'm based in Toronto, Canada. I have clients from England. from America, from Australia. And it's a bit expensive for them just to fly over for a session. So we do everything over Zoom. And then people are like, you can do this hypnosis stuff over Zoom. Don't you need to touch someone to do hypnosis? Don't you need to be in the same room as them to do hypnosis? To which I say, if the hypnotist, the therapist, the change worker, the Reiki person, the counsellor, If they're touching you with your eyes closed or open, it's a bit fucking weird. So you should probably leave that room immediately. So no, we don't need to touch someone in hypnosis. And it doesn't matter if we're five feet apart or five thousand miles apart with the Atlantic Ocean between us, as long as the client can see and hear me and I can see and hear them, because the thing would change in the problems inside their head, inside their body, as long as they can follow simple instructions. like close their eyes and think of this and think of that and then absolutely they can be hypnotized and get uh shifts and change hey amanda um jamie says thank you over at youtube thank you for the coin um yeah so hypnosis can be done anywhere as long as um could follow simple instructions uh your iq is above which means you're not severely severely severely severely severely severely severely developmentally delayed now I've never met somebody who came to see me for change work who was severely severely severely severely severely developmentally delayed but you'd swear They were a bit retarded when they came in. So as long as you can follow simple instructions, you can be successful in hypnosis. You've got to want to be there. You've got to want to do the work in between your ears as well. If you're new, if you just joined us, this live stream is the hypnosis show every Wednesday at seven p.m. Eastern on whatever social media platform you are watching right now. Put in your comments what platform you are watching us from right now. Oh. JLo's joined us. I don't know if it's the JLo, but she's with us. Hey, Katie, how are you? Katie's joined us. Steve has joined us. Who else has joined us here? Just going through the TikTok. Gary's joined us. Larry. Wow. Jessica. How are you all doing, folks? A lot of people didn't even notice all of that. Katie. I said Katie, didn't I? So as I was saying, this client, I'll change his name. We'll call him D. We call him D, this client. And he'd come to me because basically his wife had left him. She'd come back. But the only reason she'd come back, she's like, you drink too much, D. And if you keep drinking, I'm going to leave you. And he was part of a very religious family, had a number of children. And he liked drinking, as most people do. Most people like drinking. The smokers that I typically see like smoking. The crack addicts I see like crack. The gamblers I see like gambling. The drinkers like drinking. That's why they do it. Yes, it gets other needs met. It scratches other itches. But they bloody enjoy the drinking. Otherwise, why would they do it? They're like, look, if I enjoy it. yeah okay I know you enjoy it but do you want to stop it and if they if they're like I'm not really not I don't really want to stop it luke or now I'm kind of just here because I want to appease my wife or husband I want them to see that I've done some work but secretly I don't really want to quit drinking so I'm not really going to do the work then respectfully to those people I say with love and respect fuck off Because I only want to help you if you want my help, not to be your next failure. If you want my help, love to help you. If you're not, if you don't want my help, totally cool as well. But don't come because someone's put a metaphorical gun to your head. Say, well, if you don't change your life, I'm going to leave you. And if you're not changing for you, then it ain't going to work. Doesn't mean your change, your shift in your life, in your situation isn't going to help them. But it has to be for you. Has to be for you first and foremost. All right. So Dee's like, oh yeah, just because my wife left me and now she's here. I want to kind of appease her. I'm like, Dee, because his daughters were in on the call, the screening call. Can you get your daughters to leave? I'm like, listen, is there any, is your daughters, your wife in the room right now? Because we were doing this over Zoom. He's like, no. I'm like, man to man, honestly, And I don't care what you say. Just be honest with me. Right. Do you actually want to quit drinking? If we take your daughters and your wife out of the equation, let's just pretend it's a bizarre world and they don't exist. Would you actually want to stop drinking? Honestly, please be honest with me. I don't care what your answer is. It's like, actually, Luke. Yeah, I actually do. Yeah, it will positively affect them. But I actually want to stop drinking for myself. So I'm like, all right, lovely. Then I can probably help you. And one of these, we did some hypnosis work and he was drinking, oh, bloody hell, what was it he said to me? He was drinking like five cans of cider a night, like the big cans of it. um every single night every single night and uh with one session and uh over zoom and I think that went down to uh it was uh instead of five cans it was three cans is it went down to like like a little bit and then we did the second session and it went down to instead of every night it was uh one can in two weeks it was one can in two weeks uh and then it was zero it went to zero in three sessions He said, Luke, but I've got a trigger, though, Luke. I've got a big I've got many triggers, but I've got this one particular trigger. Whenever I'm at a social gathering, it was part of a big family and they're very religious. They got together a lot. Right. He's like my nephews. They give me a hard time. If I'm not drinking, they just tease me. They razz me. They give me a hard time and I end up like having to drink just to get them off my back. I'm like, he's like, can you help me with that going forward? I'm doing great now. But what happens when there's a next family function? What have you? You know, what's going to happen? I said to him, well, do you have a different brain at your next family function than you have right now? Now, yeah, we can get metaphysical on you, but technically, no. He's like, no, look, I'm going to have the same brain. Is your name going to change? You're like, no, I'm going to have the same name. Are you going to have different nephews? He's like, no, I'm going to have the same nephews. I'm like, all right. So if you haven't drank for the last three weeks, why are you suddenly going to change here? It's like, well, I'll get that. But what about the pressure? What about they give? I'm like, OK, so we stepped out of the box of hypnosis for a little bit. And I want to give you practical stuff because I can give all the theory in the world. But theory is a bit like masturbation. It's a waste of time and fluid. Right. I believe in issuing, giving people practical skills that they can use, administer in real world, in real time when the ship hits the proverbial fan. probably being demonetized for all this colorful language. And I should have said, should have a disclaimer at the beginning of these lives. Warning, I use a lot of colorful language or warning. I use a lot of bad language. So we worked on a thing. And I should tell you as well, Dee had actually tried to top himself. Now in my English, my English viewers right now understand what topping means. It's different from the BDSM community in England. Topping means try to kill yourself. All right. It tried to kill himself, uh, a few weeks before we started work. And he, he didn't tell me this. So like when I was doing the intake before I took him on as a client, he, he failed to mention this, which is pretty bloody significant. Right. Um, But yeah, and he'd been in hospital for a while. He'd been in hospital for the physical damage that he'd caused himself in trying to kill himself. And I think he'd been in a psych ward as well, if memory serves me right. It was a little bit of a time ago. um but he didn't tell me this he didn't confess this or put it on the screening form which I require before I take clients on as clients or when I spoke to him for free uh for the screening actual call uh to see if I could help him and be a good client he got to divulge this to me this only comes up on the third session that he tried to kill himself oh geez I wish I knew that coming in So I said, all right, so let's work on something, a tangible thing that you can use, right? So when you are at a family gathering, I'm like, do you still want to go to the family gatherings? He's like, yeah, I like them. I enjoy them. I'm not going to stop that. I'm like, all right. So we have to give him, help to co-create with him something that he could use at family gatherings to get his nephews off his back. So we're there and I'm like, you know, and then he put this into his own words. Okay. He's like, yeah, keep razzing me. Keep giving me a hard time until I drank. I'm like, obviously I don't understand. I'm like, do they know that you're just trying to top yourself? You try to kill yourself and you just recently spent time in hospital and your bloody wife had left you because you're drinking too much and you weren't the man she fell in love with and your daughters don't want to be around you. Do they know? He's like, no, no. Well, maybe bringing it up at a social, family, religious gathering where it's party and celebration in some form or fashion. Perhaps it's not the most appropriate way or appropriate time to bring that up. But I needed to give, we needed to co-create something for him. So we came to a term, something along the lines of when they started teasing him again as the trigger is we rehearsed something along the lines of taking the nephews to one side and be like, listen, I know you're just having fun, but I nearly lost my life recently to alcohol. And my doctor told me that I need to stop drinking because I might lose my wife and I might die. heavy right but it was a truth bomb And he didn't go into details of him trying to kill himself, but it was true. His doctor did say if you don't stop drinking, you could die. So it wasn't a lie. So he worked that into his own language, his own terminology. So it was coming from him. I'm like, do you think that's something that you could administer? If they're giving you a hard time and you know that's a trigger, you could pull him to the side and just kind of like disperse that. He's like, yeah, I think I could do that. And he did. And they were very understanding. He didn't go into, you know, the full in-depth, trying to kill himself or anything like that. But he said it and he stopped. They stopped, like, teased him after that point. Then going to social gatherings, which was a huge bloody trigger, stopped. Well, he kept going to social gatherings, family gatherings, but the trigger was gone at that point. And that wasn't even, that was on top of all the hypnosis and deep programming work that were done. But just sometimes having that one line that's loaded, that if someone's around you, and you know, it may be well-meaning, but it can trigger you. It can be very useful. A lot of times I have clients that overeat, right? And they say, Luke, one of the biggest challenges, Thanksgiving's coming up in North America, or coming up in Canada, actually. And Luke, oh God, it's when I'm around my family. uh I overeat and you know thanksgiving's coming up and then christmas and blah blah blah um sometimes that can be one of the biggest triggers being around people hey eric how are you If you just joined us, please put a comment below. Say hi and say where you are watching from, which country or which state. But sometimes those triggers of being around loved ones who can really frustrate us, cause us to fall back into old patterns. And oftentimes it's not because our loved ones, our friends, our relatives are trying to hurt us, but they're used to us being a certain way. So when we start to shift and change, even if it's for our betterment, they can start to get a bit freaked out and try, as we start to step into, reclaiming ourselves and stepping into our power and not abandoning ourselves anymore that can shine a spotlight into them well if he's not drinking that means I'm bad because I'm drinking and I don't want to be bad so let me pull him back to start drinking again and I don't postulate that necessarily people are doing this consciously However, some people do, but a lot of times it's unconscious as well. They're doing an unconscious program that's operating in their mind that they're not even thinking about as they bloody say it. And then before you know it, you're drinking, you're eating too much. So that really helped him on top of the hypnosis work that we've done. Just go look at comments right now, folks. Just put in the comments what social media platform you're watching from. as he changes the little headline right there. It's pretty cool, isn't it? And what country you are watching. And also, if you have any comments about anything I've said tonight, you have any questions about Sober October, if you're engaging in it, if you need some help, any comments, questions about hypnosis or the kind of work that I do, now's the opportunity to do it. Because the only time people get to speak to me, making myself sound all presidential here, aren't I? But it's true. I only speak to people when they're my girlfriend or my people at my MMA club, my clients in session, meaning, oh, look, before I book the screening call, which is free, which is an hour with me, we chat. But before I book the call, let me ask you ten thousand questions. Well, no, that's the purpose of the screening call is to get your questions answered on the call. So the only time you can generally get questions, these questions answered by me is not by email. I think I even took my email off of my website and my telephone number. You have to book the screening call. And we talk there. So there's a lot of hoops people have to jump through. And the people who jump through those hoops that get on the call, you can pretty much damn well believe they're ready to make some shifts in their lives. But other than doing that, if you want to get my ear, you've got some questions about hypnosis, addiction and what I do and how I help people. This is the only other way that you're going to get me is on these lives. All right. So take advantage of it. I'm just going to read some of your comments right now. Let's have a look what people are saying. Rain has joined us. Cool name, Rain. Let's have a look on Facebook. Anyone got any questions going on Facebook? What's going on on the YouTube? Jamie's there. It's going on on X, formerly known as Twitter. Anyone got any questions on there? Because some of these things actually have to go back into the site to see if anyone's got some questions before. I don't want to leave anyone out. It's a bit like the Navy SEALs leave no man or no woman behind. So I'm just looking at the comments here. Anything coming up? Any questions about anything so far, folks? Before I wrap it up, we've given you a technique, a real-world technique that you can use if you are having cravings of alcohol or anything. You can use it for anything. Eric's here. Amanda's here. Jamie's here. Melanie's here. Lorraine's here somewhere. Kelly's here. Stephanie's here. John's here. All right. So Sylvia's just joined us. Or Sylvia, I should say. Hey, Sylvia, how are you? And the Hypnopixie is on TikTok and she is in Canada. All right. So let me share a technique before I wrap it up tonight. And as I'm sharing this technique, if any questions come up about addiction, about hypnosis, about how I could help, put them in the comments below. I'll read it. And if I don't get it now, I'll come back and I'll go on to all those platforms and I'll respond to all of your comments or of your questions. But call it a technique. Certainly not something I invented. By the way, I didn't invent any of this. Didn't invent hypnosis or any of the techniques that I used. I didn't invent any of this shit. And the only originality that I've got is all my twenty five years of studying personal change, personal development is how I filter them through my own brain, through my own system and how I disperse and communicate those with my clients. That's the only originality. I bring is my character to this and how I put the pieces of the puzzle together from various disciplines whether that be um semantic psychology neuro-linguistic programming uh the hawaiian uh shamanistic art of huna neuro-linguistic programming timeline therapy real world bloody experience of working with I don't know last time I counted was over ten thousand clients every problem, many, many on addiction, many on alcohol, but many kinds of problems, every kind of a problem you could imagine. And some problems you never bloody want to imagine. And just being in the trenches and having stuff, not work, having stuff work and just, just, just being in there. And I always say my clients are my best teacher because you can sit and you can read all these bloody textbooks that you want. So many hypnosis and change where they're, They're reading the textbook, right? They're paying for another course, which is great. It's good to continue your ongoing education and growth. I recommend that. But they get stuck in the analysis of paralysis and they don't actually bloody go out there and help people. Right. So so much of my stuff is developed. Is it practical? Can clients use it? Can they use it in real time, in the real world, when their shit hits the fan? Does this stuff bloody work? Because many people don't have fifty minutes to talk to someone when the shit's hitting the fan. Many people in the real world don't have the fifty minutes where they can close their eyes and lie down peacefully when they're having a bloody panic attack, alright? They need tools, real stuff that they can use in real time, in the real world, whatever the fuck that is, to help them. So that's why I specialise in and giving clients real stuff so they don't need me anymore they don't need me anyway so don't need most people don't need anything to change other than make a decision but sometimes it's good to have a bloody light or someone that's been there that can help you get there a bit quicker and that's really my job is to take the guesswork out of your shifts and change it's not to mollycoddle you it's not oh there there tell me how tough your life is we already know everyone's got a tough life I've got a tough life everyone on this live tonight on every bloody platform has got a tough life in some way don't say that to dismean demean you in any way shape or form but everyone in their world has got a tough life what people need these real world things that they can administer and use in the real time that can help them get out of their addiction mindset whether that be for alcohol being sober october whether that be for cigarettes because it's stop october october what did I say it was called uh stopped over in england stop smoking the cigarettes however that's heroin crystal meth coke weed digital Bloody hell, how many of us are addicted to something digital? Video games, porn, sex, carbs, wrestling. So let me give you this tool. I'm going to give you the tool. Watch it and do it. If you just watch it, doing it ain't going to help you at all. All right. just watching this bloody tool watching me do this bloody thing in a minute where I tap myself like a maniac just watching me do it doesn't exercise the demons from your system it only works if you use the tool and it only works if you use the tool when you need it I oh my god I've got this urge to drink right now and I know I'm doing this so rocked over I've decided not to drink That's when you bloody use the tool. Do you use it once and you never drink again? Wouldn't that be amazing? You just do this little technique once and you never, ever drink again. You've got to administer it. You've got to use it in real time. But you can do it very quickly. Before I show you it, just reading a comment from Jamie. Thank you for sharing with us tonight. You are an amazing person and truly gifted at your craft. My wife and I enjoyed your live stream. Looking forward to tuning in again next week. I'll hit you up on different social media platforms. Thanks, Jamie. You're amazing. Say hello to your wife. You're doing them. I'm proud of you. Done good bloody work, my friend. Amazing stuff. Very proud of you. Just looking on the other platforms before I show you this technique. In a moment, see if any comments come up. Who else is here? Nikki. Hey, Nikki. How are you? Nikki's joined us. Jessica's joined us. Give a shout out to Jessica. Melissa, Kim, Paul. All right. How are you all doing? Leave some comments below so I know what platform you're watching from. All right. I'm going to show you a technique right now. Bloody hell, this has gone on longer than I thought. I thought I was going to get on here and do twenty minutes. We're coming up to an hour. All right. Let me give you the technique. No more waiting. I'm putting this under the frame of sober October, stopping drinking. But you can use this for any craving, any addiction, any behavior. Even if you've got a lot of anxiety or sadness, you can use it for negative emotions as well. But I'm just using it sober October because this is the theme this month. All right. So let's say you have an urge for drink alcohol. let's say you scale up zero to ten ten is like oh my god Luke if there was some whiskey or your alcohol choice in front of me right now and you offered it to me I'd bloody rip your arm out of the socket like Richard Barker doing the hypnosis handshake induction that's how much I want it that's how much I crave it that's how much I need it And zero is I don't want it. I don't need it. I don't desire it. It ain't even coming into my bloody head until you mention it. I don't really care. Ten is high. Oh, my God. It's so overwhelming. Zero is completely neutral. All right. So let's say, bloody hell, I've got an urge to drink alcohol. It's a seven out of ten. You take your right hand. Actually, it doesn't matter what hand you use. I'm just right-handed. You want to use your left hand, use your left hand. I'm using my right hand. And simply, this is what you do. You've got the problem. I want to overindulge in alcohol. I want to drink. What number is it? It's a seven out of ten, whatever your number is. You simply tap the top of your head and you simply say, I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. You then tap between your eyebrows with either hand. And as you tap, these are meridian points, acupressure points in Chinese medicine. This helps to unblock your system energetically because we're all electric on some level. You simply tap between your eyebrows. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. That's part two. Part three. three got multiple cameras here right so I look weird on the on the tick tock camera it's like seeing like from my waist down and everything else is from the waist up anyways and I release and let go I release and let go I release and let go third area as he goes to every bloody camera is side of your um your eyebrow essentially there You tap there. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. What are you releasing and let go? The problem, right? You can put the thing in there if you want. I release and let go. My urge to drink. I release and let go. My urge to overeat. I release and let go. My need to be cracked. Whatever it is. We're doing alcohol this month, right? the fourth place attack solar plexus whole hand open solar plexus the bony bit where your chest meets whole hand I release and let go I'm not pledging allegiance I release and let go I release and let go I release and let go fourth place The fifth is you simply grab your wrist while you wear a wristwatch. You squeeze your wrist. You look at the palm of your hand like it's the most fascinating, curious palm of your hand you've ever seen in your life. And as you squeeze your wrist, you look at the palm of your hand. Simultaneously, you take the deepest breath of your life into your balls. And you hold it for as long as you can, but not a moment longer. Does your breath, I mean, and your wrist. And when you need to breathe out, please do breathe out. That's important. And relax your wrist. Then you take an inventory again. Where's my urge to drink now? Zero to was it seven to five? What do you do? Do it again. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. Squeeze your wrists. Look at the palm of your hand. Big, deep breath into your balls. Hold your breath for as long as you can, but not longer. And then when you need to breathe out, please do breathe out. Take another inventory. Let's say it's a two. What do you do? Great. It's going down. You do another round of it. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. I release and let go. would be a little longer than that but I'm just doing it I'm able to verify all right sorry folks my uh tick tock has gone off oh there we go all right tick tock is back on sorry tick tock hey how you doing we went off um so the first step step number one Get the problem. What number is it? Intensity. Zero is the problem doesn't exist. Ten is like very strong. On my earth, your drink is a seven. That's the second thing you do. Third thing you do, tap the top of your head. Then you say, release and let go. Between your eyebrows, I release and let go. Side of your temple. That's the word I'm looking for. I release and let go. Solo plexus. I release and let go. Grab your wrist, squeeze it. Typically what happens is you probably do about three rounds of it and you notice whatever intensity it is, it will go all the way to zero. All right. Do you just do it once and you never have that problem or urge again? Well, chance would be a fine thing. But you're smart, intelligent people because you're watching me on the hypnosis show. So, no, you're probably going to have to do it again because your brain, your neurology is lined up in such a way that you've got this pattern inside your life that you've been doing for a long time. So you think you're going to do this one time in less than two minutes and you're never going to do that problem again? No, you're out of your bloody mind. You're out of your bloody mind. You've got to do it multiple times. But eventually, you would have reconfigured your neurology, your neuropathways, your amygdala. This is the bit that emotes in your brain and causes you to do these things, addicting behaviors. And it just collapses to one day. You know, it's that trigger time of eight p.m. on a Wednesday evening, EST. And you would used to reach for alcohol. because you were sad, upset, or you don't even know why you were bored. You were numb, whatever it was. Well, you want to play and you just notice at nine o'clock or ten, you just didn't do it. Not because you tried to not do it, not because you tried to abstain. You just didn't do it. You just didn't need to do it anymore. Okay. So that can be a very useful tool anywhere. Please use it. Watching me do it ain't going to help you doing it one time ain't going to help you. Doing it multiple times when you need it will help you. If I went a bit too fast, please watch the replay that will be on whatever platform you're watching this on. You can just rewind that bit there. All right. So just going to wrap up now. Anyone got any more questions before we call it a night? Just going on all the platforms soon. If anyone has any questions. And again, if people are watching this after the fact, I will respond to your comments when I see them. Nikki's there. Central Park Cafe's there. Interesting name. Excellent. Amanda says, awesome talk. Yeah, it's very useful. Very useful. Very, very handy. Jamie says hard work, determination and desire saved my life. Thanks again, Luke. Thank you for being ready, Jamie, to make those shifts and allow me to help you to save yourself. You did an amazing bloody job. Excellent. So we'll be back next Wednesday. Same Luke time, same Luke place, same Luke channel. The next live again, focusing on the sober October. Any questions about hypnosis, being sober, getting clean? Please come in with the questions, ask the questions, and I will endeavor to answer your questions and help you. But other than that, folks, I'm calling it a night, as we like to say here at Luke Gnosis. Always believe. Have good night. See you next week.
