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.

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because you’re weak, lazy, or lack willpower.
They fail because they’re built on the wrong level of choice.
In this end-of-year monologue, I challenge the entire idea of waiting for January to change your life. Calendars don’t create transformation. Identity does.
Inspired by Sam Harris and grounded in the STRIVE Method, this episode breaks down why resolutions collapse under pressure—and what actually creates lasting change when it comes to alcohol, health, habits, and self-leadership.
If you’ve ever promised yourself “this year will be different” and ended up back in the same patterns, this episode will help you see why—and what to do instead.
Key moments in this episode:
• Why most New Year’s resolutions sit at the wrong level of choice
• The difference between secondary choices, primary choices, and the fundamental choice
• Why willpower collapses without a sovereign anchor
• How identity and SELF-leadership remove negotiation with alcohol
• Why any day—not January 1st—is a real beginning
This episode is for anyone who wants to stop outsourcing authority over their life—to alcohol, habits, or old conditioning—and start living from SELF instead of force.

Much love & STRIVE on!
