In my last post here on Steemit, "Why I Stopped Drinking Alcohol And Will Never Drink Again", I discussed how much alcohol limited me over the years.
One of the biggest ways was in how I never felt like I was truly being myself.
I was either limited by the cult(ure)/matrix/society in not expressing myself... and when I wasn't doing that, the alcohol was reducing my self confidence and also limiting me from feeling confident enough to be the most authentic version of myself.
Some people who have followed me for years might say, "You express yourself more than most people I know!"
And, that might be the case. But in many ways I was limiting myself dramatically. Those who have been following me have likely noticed the changes over the last few months as I quit smoking, became a raw vegan/fruitarian and stopped drinking while I was at home.
I began to come out of my shell a bit. I felt confident in just being me. I felt like, "This is how I feel and I don't care what you think about me, I'm going to say it goddamit!"
And now that I have fully stopped drinking I have reached a new level of confidence. I am finally becoming comfortable in my own skin.
I recently walked the depressing streets of Las Vegas while I discussed how important it is that all of us be the truest and most authentic version of ourselves. We are all special. And the machine/matrix/cult(ure) doesn't want you to express that. It wants us all to be the same... to be bots in the machine.
Here's my take on why we all need to express ourselves to the world and why it's never been more important:
Follow me here on Steemit as I do my daily "walk n talks", sometimes with anarcho-dogs, sometimes without, from various locations on Earth.
Next I'll discuss the person we all need to get to know the most... ourselves.

There are so many things that we don't really know about ourselves and many more that we have been conditioned to believe. It is very important to listen to our bodys and understand how it works. It is amazing to see how much wisdom is inside of us on how our lives could change when we follow our inner messages. Great article; keep up the good work.

Yes, hence the old adage you get in films where one guy is at the bar and asks his buddy "what's your poison?".
In any event, a bit of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that.
The problem with drinking is that it's more-ish.
The more you consume the more you want.
If you can train yourself to have a glass of wine with a nice steak and not go crazy, then it's quite safe and very enjoyable.
Cheers.

Hey Jeff. I laughed at the anecdote about the cars sitting at the traffic light. I often think of that exact situation, and as I can drive through red lights when i know it's safe (mostly when no one is around though).
Although i was unsure how i felt about your blog when you first appeared on steem, I was a little turned off by some of your more absolute statements, I've come to see you as a really interesting dude and appreciate you sharing your insights. It's clear that you have followed your heart and trusted in what you have learned.
I've come to a lot of the same conclusions about amercian culture and "the machine", in my own life, and definitely live with the mentality of creating your own reality. I'm curious if you have any advice on how to become an expat?

How many weird encounters are you having with friends etc when you don't want a social drink? Found old friends look at me like I've grown an extra head. Or the opposite where they think you were secretly keeping an alcoholic habit from them - you know that the only reason to not drink right ;)
Not drinking is like being an atheist, for some reason everyone insists you explain why.

It's funny how casual drinking is in our society. Typically when you go to a restaurant, people will order an alcoholic drink. I have nothing against alcohol in moderation, in fact, I love wine and beer on occasions. I stopped drinking for about a year just to focus on my health. Whenever I would go out to bars with friends, there was so much pressure to have a drink. It's totally possible to not drink and still be sociable and have a good time out with people. Good for you for taking a step towards what you want, Jeff!

Great video.
I totally agree with getting out there and just doing it. Whatever "your doing it " is.
I joined steemit only a few days ago, and it's because of Jeff talking about it.
If you look at my first post you will see that I quit a full-time job of 15yrs with the Ambulance service, to travel.
I now work, when I want to, and I can live with very little money.
Life is too short!
It is scary to walk out of a full-time job you have done for while, but it's also exhilarating to start to do the things in life you really want to do.
You can do this to!
The 9-5 plan for 40yrs is not the only way to live. There is more to life than just the paycheque.

Even at all the gas stations everyone around me is buying and scratching all these tickets. Booze, smoking and gambling are all addictive. In addition gambling is only legal when the state controls it. If we wanted to have a friendly game of poker or some pull tabs for the football games in our basements it would be illegal.. My point is the state has deemed gambling, drugs, pedophilia, guns, prepping and many other things are bad, unless the govt itself is running it.

Actually @Jeffberwick this topic of being your most authentic self, having confidence and not caring what other people think is fairly discussed in the PUA community. As the matter of fact I was introduced to you and your work trough Sasha Daygame aka Alex who's a friend of yours. The PUA community really changed my life and was a gateway for getting me out of the matix. While my path was a long one (I started learning about this way back in 2009), every single step I took made me better person, by deprogramming my mind out of "social conditioning. Maybe you should talk to Alex about these thing more, cause he is a master at social freedom in my mind.

These truths can identify you, your successes and failures, your expectations and disappointments, your secret dreams and hidden shames.

Great p0st @jeffberwick and glad you stuck around with this platform and
also glad you regained your confidence but from my experience, with the ppl in my circle including myself, it's the other way around. We gain confidence when we indulge in "drugs"(alcohol) and 0r "medicine"(herb).
These substances help 0r assist individuals who have insecurity issues and whatever else the case may be!
I drink alcohol but am not a heavy drinker, I puff on the magic-dragon but do not over-puff!
0ver-indulging may have played a vital role in the way you were feeling about yourself. 0ver-indulging can make you start to feel the need for change. It's your body telling you to SLOW DOWN!!! lol
Let me know how you feel on this view, I'll be glad to hear ;)
By the way, I can be confident sober as well. I have no problem quitting these habits! When I'm not doing these habits I still enjoy life. I love getting out for walks to enjoy the sun, I love keeping fit by doing the basics such as Push-ups, sit-ups, reading keeping the mind busy, etc...

Good on you Jeff, it's not an easy thing. Leastways it's easy to start, but it can be difficult to continue. I am six years down the line, no drinking, smoking etc. Best thing I did. I didn't do give it all up for my health, well not my physical health, I was just fed up with the FUD that drinking and smoking was creating in me. Once I stopped, and boy it was hard at the time, things started to change. From meditation to better food, to a clearer version of my own reality, things have sure changed! Onwards and forwards :)

Yes it is time to stop worrying about what others will think because we are all worrying about the same crap anyways. If you are just as scared as me, than maybe there is nothing to be scared of, so just be yourself. Life is much better when you are true to yourself.

I agree. I think there is a huge push lately to be authentic and true to yourself. I think society as a whole is being more and more authentic which will make it easier and easier for people to do so. I think I am authentic, but when I feel uncomfortable I just get very quiet and don't really speak much.

Jeff, do you think it will last or is it just a phase?

I have been a Anachist for about ten years, and didn't even know it, till I started to listen and read your material/blogs, and Mark Passios work. The 2008 crash was my wake up call, and prompted me to do extensive research, and in a short time, go from being a total debt slave and credit junkie. Today I am totally free of the Matrix, in every which way and have also found my true authentic self. Nice to know all of you on the same path. Thanks
