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.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories.
People experiencing gaslighting often feel confused, anxious, and unable to trust themselves.
I decided to touch upon this topic because it’s an issue that has come up within our STRIVE community. I felt it was important to try and understand this issue from both sides, so I reached out to Julie Rivera (a former victim of gaslighting), and I provided my experience as a gaslighter.
Julie Rivera has always been motivated to understand what drives our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. With an undergraduate degree in Psychology followed by a Master's Degree in Marriage, family, and Couple Counseling specializing in Trauma and Crisis, Julie found her true calling in Coaching focusing on Life and Mindset Transformation.
Julie has lived a life that was not hers for many years and it was not until she left a marriage of 18 years that she was finally able to see that life happened "For Her” and not "To Her”. With this shift in her life, Julie uncovered a peace and happiness she had never felt before. It sent her on a mission to serve others to uncover their own peace from within.
Julie also co-hosts a podcast with her 25-year-old daughter Kaity called "Our Chic Chat". They discuss all kinds of topics about life including mental health, and why change can be so hard.

Our inability to effectively and healthily manage our anxiety is one of the reasons we choose to numb. There is another way.
Lee Davy founded 1000 Days Sober angry and frustrated that he had been hoodwinked into believing alcohol provided him with incredible value. When he realised that it had no value whatsoever, he vowed to help as many people as he could see that truth.
What started as a blog about Lee’s experience morphed into a podcast, a course, and now a community for people who want to live fulfilled lives as people that don’t drink alcohol.
In the beginning, Lee was a one-man team. He has since gathered the best sobriety coaches and created a holistic program focused on spiritual and personal development, person-centered therapy, grief and loss recovery, and health and well-being. As the founder of 1000 Days Sober, Lee now serves as the creative driving force behind the program, the voice of the podcast, and the leader of the community.

People rarely talk about money. It’s a topic most of us would choose to avoid because an argument is not too far off when money is involved. However, if we continue to push it aside, financial issues between partners can build up and eventually cause the relationship to implode.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of discussing money and financial concerns in relationships. It’s a difficult topic among couples, and it’s essential that we overcome the taboo around money to normalize talking about it.
Likewise, discussing your finances will allow you and your partner to have more confidence to spend on your needs.
Tune in and be the best version of yourself for the benefit of your partner and your relationship! http://bit.ly/3liyDAr
