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.

Have you ever tried to iron a shirt in the dark with wet hair, no hot water, and a podcast deadline breathing down your neck?
That was me—in Montenegro, mid-power cut, spiralling.
No electricity. No way to work. No escape.
And that’s when I realised something most people never stop to see: we don’t drink because we’re weak—we drink because we’re trying to run. From stillness. From feeling. From ourselves.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what happens when all your exit routes vanish—and you’re left with nothing but your nervous system, your stories, and the one voice that’s been waiting underneath it all… your SELF.
Tune in as we explore:
– Why alcohol becomes a default escape route
– How your parts hijack your peace
– The surprising power of discomfort when you stop running from it
– The STRIVE Method’s way of helping you stay present without sedation
If you’re ready to stop escaping and finally arrive, this episode is for you.
Much love, and STRIVE on!
Lee
