Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. I’m Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesn’t quite add up — and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No “rock bottom” stories required.
We talk about what alcohol really does to the body, brain, and nervous system, why cravings and rituals are so persistent, and why willpower isn’t the issue most people think it is. You’ll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly — whether you’re still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but don’t feel settled.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m intelligent, capable, and functional… so why can’t I just stop?” you’re in the right place.

Caught Lying About Sweets? What It Taught Me About Drinking
Saturday Aug 02, 2025
Saturday Aug 02, 2025
The other day, I caught my daughter lying about stealing sweets—and it hit me hard.
Not because of the sweets.
But because I recognised the pattern. The same energy I once brought into parenting—command and control, dominance and fear—is the energy I used to bring into my own inner world. Especially when I wanted a drink.
In this episode, I explore how our reactions to our children mirror our reactions to our PARTS… and why both need more curiosity, not condemnation.
This one’s for you if you’ve ever said, “I hate that part of me—it ruins everything.”
You don’t need a perfect script.
You need the right energy.
You don’t need to fight the PART that wants a drink.
You need to lead it.
