Have you ever felt like you're juggling flaming swords, trying to keep up appearances while secretly battling the fear of being exposed? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy uncovers the hidden cost of perfectionism and its connection to alcohol reliance. It's not about being weak, but rather about the fear of being seen as you truly are.
Lee shares his personal journey of growing up with conditional love, chasing achievements to feel worthy, and the realisation that perfectionism is not a badge of honour but a protective shield. This episode is part of the Strive Method series, focusing on how perfectionism keeps you stuck in a cycle of drinking and hiding. Lee challenges the notion that quitting alcohol needs to be perfect, encouraging listeners to embrace vulnerability and let go of the illusion of control.
Through candid anecdotes and relatable metaphors, he highlights how perfectionism can imprison you, and how freedom begins when you allow yourself to be seen as a flawed yet powerful human being. By dropping the mask and embracing vulnerability, you'll find healing and strength in your authentic self. So, if you're ready to break free from the shackles of perfectionism and live a self-led life alcohol-free, this episode is your call to action.
