Lee Davy takes you on a thought-provoking journey through the societal blind spots surrounding alcohol in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast. With his trademark candid style, Davy challenges the norms that label alcohol as a harmless social lubricant rather than the potent drug it is. He draws attention to the fact that on the International Day Against Drug Abuse, alcohol doesn't even get a mention, revealing how deeply entrenched the Liquid Lie is in our culture.
You'll hear startling statistics about alcohol-related deaths, far exceeding those caused by cocaine and heroin combined, yet it remains socially acceptable and omnipresent at celebrations. Davy doesn't hold back in highlighting how alcohol silently damages families, dulls emotional intelligence, and affects every aspect of society from healthcare to education. Through anecdotes from his railroad days, he illustrates how societal perceptions often ignore alcohol's dangers.
His message is clear: it's time to name alcohol for what it truly is—a drug—and rethink our relationship with it. This episode isn't just about shedding light on alcohol's impact; it's a call to action for a safer, more honest world. So, if you're ready to confront the Liquid Lie and embrace a self-led, alcohol-free life, this episode is your starting point.
