    Why You Can’t Quit Drinking Without Vulnerability

    You’ll never live alcohol-free-as-fuck without vulnerability.   Not the performance kind that earns applause— But the raw, real kind that risks rejection just to be seen.   In this episode, I crack open Week 2 of the STUCK Phase inside the STRIVE Method, where we explore why your PARTS are terrified of vulnerability—and how that fear keeps you stuck in the Liquid Lie.   We’ll unpack the truth about internal protectors, emotional safety, and how to build trust with your inner world… so you can stop hiding and start healing.   If you’ve ever wondered why you still can’t quit—even though you know all the logic—this is your missing piece.   Let’s get vulnerable.   Much love, and STRIVE on!

    Everything Is Bullshit—Unless You Prove It

    You think you’re lazy. Your partner thinks you’re selfish. Your boss thinks you’re not good enough.   But is any of that actually true?   In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I reveal the principle that changed my life and transformed my coaching: Everything is bullshit unless you prove otherwise.   Most of us live in a prison built from assumptions—false stories planted by PARTS, past experiences, and a culture soaked in the Liquid Lie. But truth doesn’t come from repetition. It comes from observation, communication, and feedback.   This episode gives you the tools to challenge the stories in your head—and the courage to stop drinking over lies you haven’t even tested.   You’ll learn: – How to separate facts from feelings – Why direct communication can dismantle shame – A powerful framework from Nonviolent Communication – Why the Liquid Lie relies on unchecked beliefs   The stories you tell yourself are powerful. But are they true? Let’s find out.   Listen. Reflect. And if you’re ready to stop drinking over stories that don’t serve you—join the STRIVE Method.   Much love, and STRIVE on!

    What to Say When a Friend Pressures You to “Just Have One”

    “Come on, just have one.” It sounds harmless. But that line has derailed more alcohol-free lives than a bar tab at a wedding.   In this episode, we go beneath the surface of peer pressure to uncover the truth: when someone urges you to drink, they’re not just offering a glass—they’re offering a mirror.   Lee Davy breaks down the psychology behind why this moment rattles us, what it reveals about our need for approval, and how to respond from SELF—not from shame.   You’ll learn why people push where there’s space, not where there’s strength—and how to make sure your boundaries are anchored in something deeper than willpower.   If you’ve ever felt that pang of guilt when you say no, or if you’ve ever caved just to keep the peace, this one’s for you.     #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholfree #boundaries #IFS #peerpressure #alcoholrecovery #approval #selfleadership

    Why Your Workplace Might Be the Reason You Drink

    You don’t need a pub to be pressured into drinking—you just need a break room full of moaners.   In today’s episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, we unpack how toxic work cultures, gossip loops, and workplace echo chambers are keeping you stuck in victim mode—and pushing you to drink just to cope.   Lee shares personal stories from his days on the railway, breaks down the IFS lens on PARTS and systems, and offers two powerful paths forward: walk out or speak up.   Because echo chambers are the pub before the pub—and if you don’t change the room, you’ll keep reaching for the bottle.     #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholrecovery #workplaceculture #toxicworkplace #IFS #boundaries #victimconsciousness #quitalcohol #mentalhealth #nervoussystem #alcoholfreeasfuck

    Drinking at Home: The Hidden Trap Stealing Your Presence

    No bouncer. No last orders. No limits.   When you drink at home, there’s no one to tell you when to stop—and that’s exactly why it’s so dangerous. A new Drinkaware study shows most weekly drinkers in the UK now spend more money on alcohol at home than in pubs or restaurants. That might sound smart. Sensible. Safer. But it’s not.   Because when alcohol enters your home, it slowly takes over your routines, your parenting, your marriage—your presence. In today’s episode, I break down how this trap forms, why it’s so hard to spot, and what to do if you want to reclaim your space, your power, and your peace.   Whether you’re a parent, a partner, or just tired of checking out instead of showing up, this one’s for you.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholrecovery #drinkingathome #parentingsober #alcoholculture #selfledlife #drinkaware #mentalhealth #quitdrinking #alcoholfreejourney #emotionalpresence #soberliving #alcoholtruth #sobercurious

    Why You’ll Never Heal Alone – Seth Godin Was Right

    You can quit drinking in silence—but healing? That’s a team sport.   In this week’s Book Highlight episode, we break down one powerful sentence from Seth Godin’s This Is Strategy: “When we work together, we get far more done.”   This episode isn’t about self-help slogans—it’s about the truth that almost nobody wants to admit: you won’t escape the Liquid Lie on your own. I tried. I made it. But it was lonely. And unnecessary.   I’ll share how STRIVE evolved from a solo mission into a healing movement—why community isn’t just a perk, it’s the strategy. You’ll learn how shame isolates, why your PARTS fear connection, and how saying “Me too” changes everything.   If you’ve ever told yourself you don’t need anyone, this episode will lovingly call you on your b******t.   Come find your people. Come heal out loud.     #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholawareness #healingjourney #communityoverisolation #internalfamilysystems #selfledlife #quitalcohol #shamehealing #sethgodin #thisisstrategy

    Why You Drink Has Nothing To Do With Alcohol – Here’s Why

    You don’t drink because you’re weak. You drink because a part of you learned that’s how to belong. That’s how to feel safe. Seen. Connected.   In this week’s spotlight on the STRIVE Method, we’re exploring Attribution—the stories we tell ourselves about why we drink, and the identities those stories create.   You’ll learn the difference between blame and responsibility. Victimhood and authorship. PARTS and SELF. And why letting go of blame—both internal and external—is one of the most powerful steps toward living a SELF-led life, AFAF.   This one goes deep. Bring your journal.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholawareness #internalfamilysystems #identityshift #narrativepsychology #mentalhealth #rewriteyourstory

    Why Women Are Drinking More – And Why It’s Costing Them More

    She doesn’t drink to get drunk. She drinks to breathe.   In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the real reasons women are drinking more—and why the impact is hitting them harder.   It’s not about weakness. It’s about pressure. Trauma. Biology. And a cultural narrative that sells wine as empowerment and cocktails as connection.   We’ll talk about what’s really in that glass—what you’re reaching for, what it’s replacing, and what you need instead.   This one isn’t just for women. It’s for anyone who loves one.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholawareness #womenandwine #mommyjuice #pinkwashing #feminineenergy #traumarecovery #selfledlife
