"You don't drink because you're broken; you drink because drinking is your easiest, most familiar path".
Change can feel like wrestling with a bear – daunting and exhausting. Lee Davy, the host of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, tackles this beast head-on in the episode titled 'Why Change Feels So Hard – And What to Do About It'. With a friendly yet no-nonsense approach, Lee explores why the path to change is often littered with obstacles, using the concept of the Path of Least Resistance from Robert Fritz's work.
You’ll find out that you’re not broken; you’re just stuck in a loop designed to repeat itself. The episode dives into how our internal and external structures shape these paths, making it easy to fall back into old habits like pouring a drink or picking a fight. Lee shares personal stories, including his own struggles with saying no to a gym invite, illustrating how fear-based chatter can derail even the best intentions.
It's not just about drinking – it's about any familiar path that keeps you from living your best life. The episode encourages you to embrace the tension between where you are and where you want to be. This tension isn't just uncomfortable; it's also brimming with potential. The Strive Method, a six-month programme mentioned in the podcast, offers a structured way to help listeners step off their old paths and forge new ones.
Lee’s anecdotes and insights aim to inspire you to make micro-decisions that gradually lead to significant change. If you're feeling stuck in a rut or struggling with alcohol, this episode is like a friendly nudge to start carving your own trail. Are you ready to step off the beaten path and embrace the thrill of change?
