ADAM LAMB is cofounder and CEO of SizeSlim Supplements, a sports nutrition company, and cofounder of an elite men’s health clinic focused on lifestyle optimization. A health enthusiast, entrepreneur, and devoted family man, Adam took the same drive that enabled him to become a competitive bodybuilder and to successfully run two companies and then channeled it into his commitment to quit drinking on his quest to a “next level” lifestyle.
“Adam’s philosophies on and dedication to personal and professional success and total health and wellness have helped me on my own path. He is an exceptional motivator who truly leads by example and practices what he preaches. Most don’t realize the impact social drinking can have across our life — health, career, relationships. By identifying and removing this non-obvious barrier, Adam both cleared his path to total success and opened up new possibilities. “Better than the Binge” will both enlighten and empower you to reach your full potential and achieve a successful and abundant life.”

Through that creativity and self-awareness he challenged himself to remove alcohol from his life to increase the edge towards success. He has definitely done that and the methods in his new book “Better Than The Binge” might be able to help you get that extra edge as well!”
-Josh Linkner
5-time Tech entrepreneur, NY Times bestselling author, Venture Capitalist
“I cannot lie: I enjoy drinking. And I cannot really imagine life without great beer and wine, especially not my social life. But that being said, Adam’s book almost convinced me to stop drinking socially. If that is something you’ve been thinking about, the techniques he lays out are exactly what you need to do it in a way that really works well.”
-Tucker Max, author of #1 New York Times Best Seller I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
“I know Adam for many years and his drive for success and excellence is relentless. He is always looking for the next life improvement and having more success to get to the next edge physically, mentally and emotionally.

“Alcohol is everywhere. We as a society are so comfortable with it, drinking is an unspoken rite of passage, even for underage people. We grow up seeing alcohol as a social habit, and even an obligation. Whether you’re tailgating, going to college parties, or attending a birthday party, alcohol is all around us and an expected part of social interaction, and I think that’s a serious problem.
Take the edge off. Liquid courage. Grab a beer and unwind. We’ve all heard alcohol described as an antidote for stress. Some people drink sparingly, but when a person drinks regularly to deal with anxiety, it becomes something they need; a crutch. They weaken their coping abilities until they need alcohol as a supplement just to function. So, why do we use alcohol as a crutch? It seems like an appealing choice — and is challenging to resist — for two reasons: you have external pressures and internal pressures encouraging you to drink.
When you decide to quit drinking, you need to have a strong “why.” Your “why” is what’s going to keep you motivated when something or someone challenges your resolve, or when the challenge loses its excitement. The “why” is the difference between people seeing their goals through and giving up.
The hardest part of quitting for me was the word “forever.” Generally speaking, I don’t want most things to last forever. It took me a long time before I felt comfortable and happy with the concept of being married forever. Then when I had children, I had another moment of growth when I realized, these are my kids, forever. Growing older chipped away at the intimidation factor of long-term commitment—especially positive commitment.
Motivation is critical to quitting, so ask yourself: how badly do you want to give up drinking? Are you serious about the commitment or is it just an idea you’d like to try? How much thought have you given the decision? In general, we tend to be more externally focused on things like our smartphones, television, the news, politics, and other distractions. We have a million things in our day-to-day lives that steal our attention and keep our brains too busy for introspection. It’s easy to miss potential points of self-improvement, but a life-altering change like giving up alcohol requires gaining perspective on your life and taking some time to focus on yourself.
Thinking back on those first thirty days of quitting, they were terrifying. I knew I wouldn’t be able to pull through it if I cheated and tried to cut down on my drinking — I had to stop completely. Based on my personality, I also knew quitting wasn’t something I would “just try out” or do for a month before reverting. There was no undoing the realization that prompted me to quit in the first place: drinking didn’t serve me. I had no reason to ever go back to my old ways.
