Why Quitting Alcohol Made Me Stop Killing Bees

#1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE

 

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.
