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.

Why You Won’t Press the Magic Button (Even When You Know You Should)

If I handed you a magic button that could erase alcohol from your life forever… would you press it?
Most people say yes—until they realise what they’re losing.
In today’s Book Highlight episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I explore a quote from Spiritual Millionaire by Preston Smiles that challenges our assumptions about alcohol and safety. This one’s all about the payoff—the hidden reason you haven’t let go, even though alcohol is wrecking your life.
Because quitting isn’t about willpower.
It’s about honesty.
You’ll learn how to uncover the real reason you’re stuck, how to use the “Magic Button” technique from CBT, and why your PARTS would rather protect you than free you. This one will hit a nerve—and that’s exactly the point.
Let’s get radically honest together.
