Lee Davy pulls no punches in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, tackling the glaring double standards in society's approach to alcohol and fentanyl. With a dash of humour and a hefty dose of truth, Davy questions why alcohol, responsible for millions of deaths annually, is celebrated, while fentanyl is vilified. This isn't your average chat about substance abuse; it's an eye-opener into the cultural conditioning that shapes our views.
Davy's passion for living an alcohol-free life shines through as he compares these two substances – one feared, the other funded.
