The liquid lie doesn’t just sell you alcohol, it sells you identity.
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the complex narratives we create around alcohol consumption. Lee, a storyteller at heart, invites you to rethink the reasons behind your drinking habits. It's not about weakness or failure, but rather the stories we've been told and the identities we've adopted. Through the STRIVE Method, Lee introduces the concept of attribution, breaking it down into internal and external types.
These narratives are often protective mechanisms that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. Lee argues that letting go of blame is crucial for living a self-led life, alcohol-free as can be. The episode offers a peek into the STRIVE Method's workshops, focusing on rewriting these narratives and taking radical ownership of one's choices. Lee’s insights encourage you to shift from victimhood to authorship, empowering you to choose a different path.
With anecdotes and humour sprinkled throughout, this episode is a call to action for anyone seeking to change their relationship with alcohol. As Lee says, you're not your worst day; you're a storyteller, so start writing a new chapter. Ready to question the stories you've been told? This episode is your guide to understanding and transforming those narratives.
