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 life gets loud, do you reach for connection—or for a coping mechanism?
In this vulnerable conversation, trauma-informed coach Nina Vasquez makes a bold case: most of us aren’t “addicted”… we’re avoiding ourselves.
We explore what it means to stop numbing and start feeling, and how shame, isolation, and disconnection from the body keep us stuck in the same loop.
In this episode, we dive into:
• The difference between isolation and solitude—and why one heals while the other hides.
• How shame keeps you small and disconnected from your truth.
• Why nervous-system safety is the foundation of all healing.
• Body-based tools to release stored emotion—breath, sound, shaking, and movement.
• How mirror work and eye contact rebuild self-trust and compassion.
• The shame–numb–shame spiral behind alcohol, food, and scrolling.
• Simple ways to start living a SELF-led life, AFAF.
