"Weddings aren't about alcohol. They're about love."
Weddings can be a minefield for anyone trying to stay alcohol-free, but Lee Davy is here to help you waltz through them with confidence. In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', Lee shares practical tips and heartfelt advice on how to enjoy weddings without succumbing to the pressure of drinking.
He starts by addressing the awkwardness many feel when holding a fizzy water instead of a flute of champagne, reminding you that you're not the odd one out – you're a STRIVER. Lee encourages you to reframe your mindset, seeing weddings as celebrations of love rather than boozy bashes. With humour and empathy, he guides you through strategies like making allies with other non-drinkers and preparing emotionally before the big day.
He emphasises the importance of building a 'trigger toolkit' to handle those inevitable moments of temptation, and even offers tips on crafting a graceful exit strategy if the party becomes too much. But it's not all about survival tactics. Lee urges you to lead with power and authenticity, toasting with your own choice of beverage and sharing your reasons for staying sober if asked. He believes that by owning your truth, you can inspire others who might be struggling silently.
So, if you've ever felt like the odd one out at a wedding, this episode is your guide to not just getting through it, but transforming it into a celebration of your own journey. Tune in to learn how to honour yourself over tradition and truly enjoy these special occasions.
