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.

Episode #142 - Metrics

Do you count the days? Maybe, like Tony, you’ve created a percentage system? Metrics are important. Remember, the old adage; you can't manage what you can't measure. But what should we measure? It's worth remembering that what we measure deserves our unwarranted attention. It should become our number one priority. And with this in mind, if you want to be someone that doesn't drink alcohol, I imagine you think that setting the metric for ‘non-drinking days' is the priority. I want you to take a step back. For some, counting the days feels like a merry-go-round. You will feel so nauseous and disorientated you revert to type. I have a better idea. Why not set a metric for the number of days you check-in on Strive? If you can check-in for 30-consecutive days, you will feel a part of something special. You learn you're not alone. You share, learn, and help others. Then, after 30-days, fuck it. Go for it. See how many days you can do? I assure you, you will get further building on top of Strive's strong foundation.
