Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. Iโm Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesnโt quite add up โ and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No โrock bottomโ 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 isnโt the issue most people think it is. Youโll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly โ whether youโre still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but donโt feel settled.
If youโve ever thought, โIโm intelligent, capable, and functionalโฆ so why canโt I just stop?โ youโre in the right place.
