"You don't drink to have fun; you drink because a part of you believes you aren't enough",
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles a deeply personal and universal struggle: feeling like you're never good enough. With a casual yet compassionate approach, Lee opens up about his own experiences with alcohol and the childhood wounds that fueled his drinking habits. He shares a poignant story of being bullied as a child, highlighting how these early experiences can shape one's sense of self-worth and drive alcohol dependency.
Through the lens of his STRIVE Foundations workshop, 'Why We Never Feel Good Enough', Lee explores the idea that alcohol is often used to mask feelings of inadequacy rather than for enjoyment or relaxation. Lee candidly discusses the fear and vulnerability associated with admitting you have a problem with alcohol, whether in social settings or alone at home. He emphasises that the root of this fear often lies in a deep-seated need for validation.
By reflecting on his own journey, Lee encourages you to consider when you first felt like you weren't enough and how those feelings might be influencing your current relationship with alcohol. This episode offers a wake-up call for anyone struggling with alcohol, reminding you that the solution isn't just to stop drinking but to reconnect with the part of yourself that feels unworthy.
Through self-compassion and understanding, Lee believes you can begin to heal those old wounds and realise that you've always been enough. If you're searching for more than just a quick fix and are ready to confront the deeper issues at play, this episode provides both inspiration and practical advice. So, why not take a moment to listen and start your journey towards self-acceptance today?
