Picture this: a world where alcohol has wrecked lives, yet some find themselves profiting from its sale. This episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast takes you on a journey through the perplexing story of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who lost his father to alcohol but later built his fortune selling it. Host Lee Davy examines the psychological phenomenon known as the Deaf Effect, which allows individuals and society to ignore the glaring issues surrounding alcohol.
Through a mix of personal anecdotes and broader reflections, Lee highlights how silence and contradiction keep the Liquid Lie alive. Lee shares a real-life example from his own experience, illustrating how stress and a dysregulated nervous system can lead to snapping at loved ones, pushing people away, and blaming external factors for internal turmoil. This episode is not about judging individuals like Newsom or Bartlett but rather turning the mirror inward to reflect on our own responses and actions.
Lee emphasises the importance of healing your nervous system as a pathway to accessing love—real, unconditional love that can transform relationships and personal well-being. You'll find insights on how to train your nervous system to widen your window of tolerance, allowing you to choose love over reactive protection. With references to Dr. Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems Therapy, Lee encourages listeners to explore their parts and self-energy to foster healthier relationships, including the one with alcohol.
The episode wraps up with an invitation to reflect on personal experiences—when was the last time you snapped at someone you love? How might things have been different if you had paused and let self respond? By understanding these dynamics, you can start loving more authentically and living an alcohol-free life. Dive into this thought-provoking episode for an eye-opening exploration of self-regulation and love.
