"I refused to believe that alcohol provided me with value"
Lee Davy's 1000 Days Sober Podcast takes a deep dive into the concept of alcohol as a reward. Is it truly a treat or merely a socially accepted permission slip to disconnect? In this thought-provoking episode, Lee challenges the notion that alcohol provides value and explores why many high-achievers, like coaches and healthcare workers, fall into the 'reward trap'.
The episode offers a refreshing perspective on how cultural conditioning leads us to believe that alcohol is noble and necessary, when in reality, it subtracts from our lives rather than adding to them. Lee shares his personal journey of breaking free from the liquid lie, emphasising the importance of changing belief systems. He encourages listeners to question what they are truly craving when they reach for a drink. Is it rest, validation, or simply a moment of peace?
By shifting the focus from what you might be missing out on to what you gain by not drinking, Lee highlights the benefits of energy, clarity, and peace. The episode also addresses the biological aspect of cravings, urging listeners to get out of their heads and into their bodies. Lee suggests evaluating the strength of the urge and understanding whether it stems from a fight-or-flight response or a need for genuine self-care.
With a blend of humour and empathy, Lee Davy invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with alcohol and recognise its impact on their lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to break free from the cycle of using alcohol as a reward and embrace a self-led, alcohol-free lifestyle. So, are you ready to challenge your beliefs and discover what true rewards lie beyond the bottle?
