"Would you tolerate anybody else making you sick on purpose? So why do you do it to yourself?"
Ever wondered why we willingly put ourselves through the agony of hangovers? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the perplexing question of why society accepts alcohol-induced suffering as a badge of honour. He shares his own experiences of waking up to the harsh reality of 'the liquid lie' - a cultural norm that celebrates self-inflicted harm as part of a 'good night out'.
With anecdotes ranging from Stereophonics gigs to the grim aftermath of vomit-streaked bedsheets, Lee paints a vivid picture of what it means to break free from this cycle. Lee challenges you to reconsider the notion that hangovers are just part of life, arguing that every sip is a choice to poison yourself. He contrasts the freedom of living alcohol-free with the prison of being stuck in a cycle of self-abuse.
His reflections are both eye-opening and relatable, pushing you to question if you'd ever tolerate someone else making you sick on purpose. Through humour and honesty, Lee offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to live a self-led life without alcohol. He invites you to ponder what your weekends could look like without the need to recover from them.
So, if you're ready to confront the madness of hangovers and explore a path towards genuine freedom, this episode might just be your wake-up call.
