Ever wondered why drinking doesn't quite feel right, even when life seems perfectly fine? Lee Davy's podcast episode, 'When Drinking Doesn’t Quite Add Up,' is here to address those nagging doubts. This episode is perfect for those who find themselves pondering over their relationship with alcohol, even if everything looks good on the surface. There's no dramatic rock bottom here, just an exploration of the subtle confusion many face when drinking doesn't feel as neutral as it should.
Lee Davy dives into the mental gymnastics of bargaining with oneself about drinking habits. Maybe you only drink on weekends, or after a tough day at work. Yet, stopping altogether feels oddly difficult. Through relatable anecdotes and honest reflections, Davy highlights how these internal dialogues often lead to a feeling of isolation, as if you're the only one struggling to understand why stopping is hard. This episode isn't about providing solutions or forcing change.
It's about acknowledging that sometimes, the struggle with alcohol isn't about hitting rock bottom but rather about understanding why stopping feels so challenging when life appears stable. Lee Davy reassures listeners that they're not weak or lacking willpower; they're simply grappling with a complex relationship that many experience but few discuss openly. So, if you've ever felt this quiet confusion, take a moment to listen. You don't need to make any decisions right now.
Just recognise that you're not alone in feeling this way. It's the first step towards making sense of your journey with alcohol.
