Ever since New Years i've been getting really drunk when I go out and been dependent on being drunk to close. I'm kind of sick of getting hammered at this point and, unfortunately, I feel i've lost a lot of what I need to know for closing when sober(Or just the brass balls for it). For instance, the last time I tried closing without being twisted(Two days ago) I let the conversation continue, did light kino, had personal connections going on and everything. I had the girl eating out of my hand but just couldn't transition to the close.

Any advice here?

Focus on Phase Shifting(MM)?
IOIs(Flip the hair, lick lips, touching a lot, smiling a lot)?


I guess what i'm asking for is how to get back into the mentality of just closing when you're sober and how to properly go about doing it without being the awkward AFC.
