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.

Ever been told you have an “alcohol use disorder”?
What if that label is part of what’s keeping you stuck?
In this episode, I unpack why STRIVE never uses the word “disorder”—and what we say instead. Because when you shift your language, you shift your story.
At STRIVE, we don’t believe you’re broken.
We believe you adapted.
That some PART of you needed alcohol to meet a need—and it found a way to survive.
You’re not defective. You’re responding to pain, unmet needs, and a culture that sold you the Liquid Lie.
So instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
Let’s ask, “What is this PART of me trying to protect?”
Let’s move beyond labels—and lead ourselves home.
