STOP LYING TO YOURSELF: IT’S KILLING YOU SLOWLY

“The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves—because we actually believe them.” ~ Anonymous

Hey My Brother,

Let’s cut through the noise and stop pretending.

You’ve lied to everyone else long enough. Your wife. Your kids. Your colleagues. Your friends. But the most dangerous lie of all? The one you keep telling yourself:



No, my brother. You can’t control it. It is that bad. And you don’t just need to cut back. You need to face the truth.

You’re not just a man with a bad habit. You are a man silently at war with a beast that’s eating you alive behind closed doors. 

You’re the guy with the tailored suit showing up to work with alcohol still on your breath praying nobody notices. You're the man who works hard all day for his family but who is slowly losing everything that really matters while still showing up like he’s got it all together. You're the man hiding bottles of liquor in the closets at home while you're blaming stress, your wife, and the job for your situation and behavior.

I know because I was that man. But let's be real. The problem is YOU! 

And let me tell you what most people won’t:

You can’t beat what you won’t face.

And you can’t fix what you keep lying about.

Here’s the hard truth:

If you’re sneaking drinks, hiding bottles, or blaming stress, you’re not in control—your addiction is.

If your mood, your work, and your relationships rise and fall with your drinking, you’re not “functional,” you’re spiraling.

And if you keep telling yourself that you’ll quit next week, after you have one more weekend of drinking, or next month, or after you celebrate the big deal that's closing or after your friend's wedding later this summer, you’re making excuses to stay sick.

I get it. You feel like you must stay strong. You got the power, success, a reputation. You’re the provider. The decision-maker. The one everyone leans on. But tell me this:

Who’s saving you? The answer is NO ONE!

If you don’t confront the lie, the lie will destroy everything. You've built what looks like a powerful life on the outside, but you are crumbling on the inside, quietly and alone. And that voice in your head that's telling you everything is OK, is your ego and it's not telling you the truth. That's what's called survival mode, and survival mode is a slow death. My Guy, you weren't put on this planet to just survive. You were put here to DOMINATE. TO LEAD. To leave a legacy your family would be proud of.
