Who's Really Choosing? Unpacking the Truth Behind Drinking Decisions

Episode Overview

  • Most people think they're choosing to drink, but they're often reacting from parts rooted in fear and habit.
  • Understanding the difference between self-driven decisions and part-driven decisions can transform your life.
  • Lee Davy shares personal stories to illustrate how true choice comes from the self.
  • 'The Power of Choice' workshop offers tools for reclaiming life control.
  • Reflecting on your decisions can help identify whether they come from fear or clarity.
You think you're making a choice when you pour that glass, right? You're not.
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the often-misunderstood concept of choice when it comes to drinking. Have you ever thought you were in control, only to find out later that maybe you weren't? Lee dives into this conundrum with his workshop, 'The Power of Choice', which is part of the STRIVE Method's STUCK Phase.
He argues that many people believe they're making a conscious decision to drink, but in reality, they're reacting to internal 'parts' shaped by fear, shame, and habit. Lee shares a compelling personal anecdote about quitting sugar, black tea, and coffee effortlessly. This ease wasn't because he suddenly found superhuman willpower but because the decision came from his true self, not a fragmented part trying to prove something.
This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about reclaiming control over your life by understanding who is really making your decisions. Lee challenges you to reflect on your own choices. Are they truly yours, or are they dictated by past fears and habits? With his characteristic humour and insight, Lee encourages you to explore these questions and consider how life might change if your decisions came from a place of clarity and self-awareness.
If you're curious about how to discern the difference between choices made from self versus parts, this episode offers eye-opening insights. The episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their relationship with alcohol and other habits. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable tools to help you take ownership of your choices and start living a life led by your true self.
