Episode Overview

  • The Five N’s: Nice, Natural, Normal, Necessary, Noble
  • How cultural beliefs justify drinking
  • Personal reflections on breaking free from alcohol
  • The impact of the STRIVE Method
  • Rewriting your beliefs about alcohol
If alcohol was truly nice, natural, normal, necessary, and noble, then stopping drinking would be impossible.
Ever wondered why quitting alcohol feels so tough, even when you know it's doing you harm? Lee Davy tackles this question head-on in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast. He introduces the concept of the Five N’s: Nice, Natural, Normal, Necessary, and Noble. These beliefs are deeply ingrained in our culture and convince us that drinking is a natural part of life.
Drawing from the STUCK Phase of the STRIVE Method, Lee explains how these justifications keep us tethered to alcohol and prevent us from seeing its true impact on our lives. He shares his personal journey and reflections on how he broke free from these beliefs, offering a new perspective on what it means to live alcohol-free. Lee's engaging storytelling and no-nonsense approach make this episode both enlightening and relatable.
By the end, you'll have a fresh understanding of why quitting alcohol might feel wrong—but isn’t—and how you can start to rewrite your own story.
