About Clarity
Clarity’s primary goal is to empower the sober life, and to help people live an addiction-free life, without limits. In the world we live in, going sober for good is like a freakin’ superpower, so we’re practically superheroes, and like any superhero, we can live and perform like superhumans.
Clarity provides free resources for individuals looking to get sober, optimise their health and perform at their best, all without the crutch of addiction.
This website is also a source of information for people simply looking to upgrade their health, perform at their peak, and simply live better in a world that makes it more difficult than it should.
Ultimately, the core goal of Clarity is to empower the sober life, and to provide content that optimises all aspects of health, performance and more.
How do I know if addiction is really an issue for me?
The burning question in the mind of every potential addict.
Stephen Brumwell, Former Drinker.
My name is Stephen Brumwell and i’m a Former Drinker, meaning, I use to drink alcohol, and now I do not. Alcohol use to be a big part of my life, and since I finally made the decision to kick it to the curb for good, I have never looked back. In this world, where alcohol is considered a social norm, ditching booze is like finding the holy grail, as if once you started, the ball and chain was shackled to your leg for good.
I am here to tell you, this isn’t true.
I have battled with alcohol addiction almost my entire adult life, and it has shaped who I am today, physically, mentally and spiritually. On one side, alcohol destroyed my life, dragged me through absolute garbage, taking hostages along the way, until the flicker of light was almost out. On the other side, it created who I am today, shaped my values, directed my purpose and made me a stronger, more resilient individual.
In my life, alcohol was a beast that sat in the background, like a deep dark beast laying dormant waiting to strike. From an early adult age, it was already slapping on my dopamine receptors, and by my late 20s, blackouts, hospital visits and time off work from 5 day drinking benders became the normal weekly routine. It took me a while to quit, and I still truely believe you have to want to quit, to quit, and an ultimatum or true “rock-bottom” moment can do this.
My ultimatum came from multiple rock bottom benders, feeling like absolute shit countless times, depleted, and deflated. I fast-forwarded the tape in my head, I would never get married, build my own house, have a beautiful baby boy, and i’d probably be the worst nutritionist on the planet. Alcohol had to go, and towards the end of 2018, it went for good.
From here on, Clarity was born, and my eventual goal of helping others with addiction became my long-term vision in my head. I listened to countless podcasts, while Clarity purred softly in the background, waiting for the right time.
Eventually, Clarity was born, and I began to put the wheels into motion, pulled from my previous experiences of being hungover as all hell, dived deep into the literature, and started writing a book. While I had the bases of Clarity there, I was voraciously understanding the nature of addiction, delving into self experiementation, biohacking, and creating a guidebook that could help addicts become, well, addictless.
It was at the end of 2020 when my book finally hit it’s draft stage, and I knew what Clarity would be, a staging ground for my book, and a free resource to help people quit booze forever, perform better and live a life that’s absolutely limitless.
The Ultimate Guidebook based on realistic strategies to abolish
