Why Do We Willingly Poison Ourselves?Why Do We Willingly Poison Ourselves?
1000 Days Sober Podcast
You wake up with a pounding head, your stomach in revolt, your Sunday in ruins—and you call it normal. But what if your hangover isn’t a side effect… but the entire point? In today’s episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I pull back the curtain on the madness we’ve normalised: choosing to poison ourselves for a memory we barely remember, then laughing about it like it’s some kind of badge of honour. From Stereophonics gigs to vomit-streaked bedsheets, I share a personal story of what it means to wake up to the Liquid Lie—and what freedom really looks like. If you’ve ever planned your weekend around being sick, this one’s for you. #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #HangoverTruth #AlcoholAwareness #SoberLiving #QuitDrinking #AlcoholFreeLife #HangoverCulture #SelfLedLiving #SobrietyJourney #LiquidLie #ReclaimYourWeekend #NoMoreHangovers #SovereignVow #MentalClarity #BreakTheCycle #PresenceOverPoison #RethinkAlcohol

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.
