If alcohol was celery, would you miss it?
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, host Lee Davy dives into the often-overlooked signs of alcohol-reliance. Lee starts with a thought-provoking analogy: if asked to give up celery, most wouldn't bat an eyelid. But when it comes to alcohol, the reaction is usually much more intense. This episode challenges the notion that you need to drink daily to be reliant on alcohol.
Instead, Lee argues that if the idea of skipping a drink at significant moments like birthdays or holidays makes you uneasy, you might be more dependent than you think. Lee shares his unique perspective on why traditional signs and statistics often fail to resonate. He introduces the concept of 'PARTS' - the different aspects of our psyche that justify alcohol use as a survival mechanism.
The episode is peppered with engaging anecdotes and practical advice, encouraging listeners to test their relationship with alcohol by abstaining during key social events and observing their reactions. Lee's candid approach is both refreshing and eye-opening. He doesn't shy away from calling out societal norms that romanticise alcohol, urging listeners to peel back the layers and confront the deeper issues driving their reliance. By doing so, he hopes to guide them towards a life free from alcohol's grip.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol or seeking to understand the subtler signs of dependence. Lee's mix of humour, honesty, and actionable insights makes for a compelling listen that could spark significant change in your life.
