Leon Sylvester is a British entrepreneur, online educator, and thought leader in the field of alcohol addiction. He is the founder of Soberclear, a global coaching company dedicated to helping individuals regain control over alcohol. The company’s flagship Soberclear System has been scientifically validated, achieving a 96% client-rated success rate.
What started as a decade-long struggle with alcohol became the foundation for a breakthrough method that's helped countless people regain control of their drinking.
Leon grew up in Lancashire, England, where he attended high school and college before moving on to Oxford Brookes University.
Spent almost ten years caught in the cycle of stopping and starting drinking - making progress, only to lose it - before finally finding a permanent solution in 2018.
Studied Marketing and Business Management at Oxford Brookes University.
Completed an exchange semester at the University of South Florida, Tampa, USA.
In 2017, quit drinking for six months and launched his first business - a personal training business - while still studying full-time. The business was both successful and profitable.
Decided to have “just one drink” at a New Year’s Eve party (January 1st, 12:05am). His progress quickly unravelled.
Failed his graduate career in London, failed relaunching his personal training business, and returned to Oxford.
At his lowest: binge drinking daily, broke, overweight, and working as a waiter. Life had gone completely backwards.
In August 2018, Leon had a mental breakthrough that changed his life forever. He saw alcohol for what it was and made a permanent decision to stop - without effort, struggle, or traditional “recovery” methods.
After one year sober, Leon shared his story on YouTube - the video received an incredible response.
He got into a long-term relationship with his now wife, Aor.
Helped his first client achieve the same mental breakthrough, realizing he had a repeatable solution to help others stop drinking.
