"What if you're not addicted at all? What if you're just... on autopilot?"
Imagine you wake up one day and realise that your nightly glass of wine is less about unwinding and more about habit. This episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, hosted by Lee Davy, challenges the traditional view of alcohol addiction, suggesting that many of us are simply stuck in a routine. Lee, with his candid style, questions the stigma surrounding addiction labels and shares his own journey from a habitual drinker to living a self-led, alcohol-free life.
He argues that society often uses labels like 'addict' to keep people blind to their habits, and urges listeners to consider if their drinking is more about automation than addiction. Lee paints a vivid picture of how daily drinking can become as automatic as brushing your teeth. He reflects on his own past, where drinking wasn't driven by emotional needs but was simply part of his daily routine.
With humour and honesty, he invites you to ponder whether your drinking habits are less about deep-seated issues and more about autopilot behaviour. Lee's approach is refreshing and might just make you rethink how you view your relationship with alcohol. This episode is not just about questioning labels; it's about recognising patterns and taking control. Lee encourages listeners to interrupt their routines and make conscious choices.
He believes that by doing so, you can start living a life that's truly yours – free from the constraints of habit. So, if you're ready to challenge your own perceptions and explore the idea that you might not be addicted, but rather just stuck in a habit, this episode is worth a listen.
