Why do we choose to poison ourselves? That's the burning question Lee Davy tackles in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast. Lee, a man who boldly rejects the label of 'alcoholic', shares his compelling journey towards living an alcohol-free life. He doesn't sugarcoat the grim reality of hangovers and the cultural acceptance of self-inflicted suffering.
Through personal anecdotes, like his unforgettable experience at a Stereophonics concert, Lee paints a vivid picture of what he calls the 'Liquid Lie'—the societal norm that glorifies drinking despite its harmful effects.

Lee's candid storytelling is both humorous and raw, making you reflect on your own experiences with alcohol.
