"I didn't want advice. I didn't want instructions. I just wanted the energy of safety"
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy shares a heartfelt story about a health scare in Riga, Latvia, and the unexpected lesson it taught him about feeling safe. Lee recounts his experience of navigating a foreign healthcare system while grappling with anxiety and fear. He highlights the moment he realised that what he truly needed was not advice or instructions, but the comforting presence of someone who could hold space for him emotionally.
This revelation leads to a deeper exploration of how, in moments of crisis, people often crave connection and safety rather than solutions. Lee introduces a simple three-step practice designed to help individuals find steadiness without resorting to alcohol. This involves naming the part of oneself that feels scared, finding a source of comforting energy—be it a person, memory, or space—and then choosing the next best move from a place of calmness.
Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Lee emphasises the importance of having supportive people around during tough times and how this can lead to a sense of inner safety and clarity. This episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes, what you need most is not more advice, but to be held and supported by those around you. Tune in to discover how embracing this idea can transform your approach to dealing with life's challenges.
