"Resentment never comes from self-energy; it comes from parts-energy, your inner child, your wounded ego."
Imagine you're at a wedding, surrounded by laughter and clinking glasses of wine, while you hold a glass of sparkling water. That nagging thought crosses your mind – why can they drink normally and I can't? This episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast tackles that very question, exploring the feelings of resentment that often accompany sobriety. Host Lee Davy, with his trademark blend of humour and honesty, guides you through understanding these emotions and transforming them into something positive.
Lee shares his own journey to living an alcohol-free life, highlighting how he made the decision from a place of freedom rather than fear or pressure. He explains that resentment often stems from 'parts energy' – those inner child egoic parts that make you feel punished or left out. Through the lens of the drama triangle, Lee encourages you to examine whether you're playing the role of victim, hero, or villain in your narrative.
To combat these feelings, Lee offers a five-point plan that includes recognising resentment as 'below the line' behaviour, rising above it into 'self energy', and practising clarity, compassion, curiosity, and choice. He emphasises the importance of understanding what need is being unmet and how to address it with self-compassion. The episode also busts the myth of 'normal drinking', pointing out that social compliance doesn't equate to healthy consumption.
Lee invites you to see sobriety as waking up rather than missing out. This podcast is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about choosing to live authentically and joyfully. If you're ready to explore your feelings around alcohol and embrace a self-led life, this episode offers practical steps and heartfelt encouragement. Are you ready to break free from resentment and step into your truth?
