Episode Overview

You can't have what you want, but you may experience what you have.
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy shares a profound message about living in the present and recognising the abundance around us. Lee reflects on a quote from Preston Smiles' book, 'Spiritual Millionaire', which suggests that while you might not always get what you want, you can certainly experience what you have.
This idea resonated with Lee during a challenging period, leading him to realise that love, connection, and enoughness were already present in his life, even if he hadn't noticed them. Through anecdotes and reflections, Lee encourages you to stop chasing future fantasies and instead focus on the genuine moments that surround you every day.
By doing so, you'll find that the emotional fulfilment you're seeking might already be at your fingertips—in a child's hug, a partner's laughter, or a peaceful Sunday morning. Lee's approach is relatable and humorous, making it easier to digest these important lessons. His personal journey illustrates how being present can transform your life, especially when striving to live alcohol-free.
If you're grappling with similar feelings or just want to hear an authentic perspective on embracing the now, this episode offers valuable insights that might just change your outlook.
