Alcohol isn’t a reward. It’s muda – waste that keeps you trapped.
Lee Davy's 1000 Days Sober Podcast takes a hard look at the widely accepted notion that alcohol is a reward. In this episode, titled 'Alcohol Feels Like a Reward—But It’s the Real Punishment', Lee dismantles the illusion that alcohol provides value or comfort, arguing instead that it's a trap that keeps us stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage.
Using Allan Dib's Lean Marketing as a springboard, he compares alcohol to 'muda' – a Japanese term for waste – and challenges listeners to rethink their relationship with this substance. Lee shares personal anecdotes from his time on the railway, illustrating how lean principles can be applied to life choices, including the decision to live alcohol-free. He encourages you to redefine what you truly value and build a life that reflects those values, free from the waste of alcohol.
With his signature blend of humour and sincerity, Lee prompts you to ask yourself: What do I really value? Is alcohol helping me achieve it, or is it just getting in the way? If you're ready to break free from the liquid lie and embrace a self-led life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective and practical advice. Dive into this thought-provoking conversation and start building a life where real rewards flow freely.
