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.

When Thad Wong moved in with his future wife, his secret relationship with alcohol was exposed—and everything changed.
In this deeply reflective conversation, Thad shares how he went from numbing the pain of “not being enough” with alcohol and marijuana to building a life of spiritual connection and embodied strength through internal martial arts and the 12 steps.
We dive into the heart of wu wei, the Chinese concept of effortless action, and how Thad’s practice of qigong and Bagua Zhang helped him shift from doing to being. He opens up about surrender, rebuilding trust, and why healing requires facing your inner dragons—not just quitting alcohol.
If you’re stuck in the loop of overachieving, overthinking, or overdrinking—this one’s for you.
