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.

Did alcohol ever turn you into someone you didn’t recognise? For me, it wasn’t just the booze—it was the way I reacted to everything. Bees. Noise. People. I was a pressure cooker with no release valve.
On International Don’t Step on a Bee Day, I’m sharing the story of how giving up alcohol helped me reclaim my attention, my nervous system, and my humanity. This episode isn’t just about bees—it’s about presence.
✅ What you’ll learn in this episode:
– Why alcohol shrinks your window of tolerance
– How presence (not perfection) is the first sign of healing
– How being AFAF helps you stop reacting and start responding
This one’s about clarity. Breath. And noticing the sting before you squash it.
If you’ve been running on autopilot… it’s time to look around.
