Lee Davy's '1000 Days Sober Podcast' brings a raw and honest look at the myth of moderation. In this episode, Lee dives into his personal story of relapse after three years of sobriety. It's a tale that starts in the glitzy streets of Vegas and ends on a train to London, filled with shame and regret. But more than just a cautionary tale, Lee explores the deeper emotional currents that drive people to drink again.
Using Internal Family Systems therapy as a lens, he explains how 'firefighters' and 'exiles' can lead to relapse, revealing the hidden pain that often lurks beneath the surface. Lee's story isn't just about alcohol; it's about understanding yourself and the triggers that lead to destructive habits. If you've ever thought about moderating your drinking, this episode is a wake-up call to examine what's truly hurting inside.

It might just change the way you think about your relationship with alcohol.
