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.

Exploring The Wild Way: A Conversation With Sam Goldfinch
Friday Sep 18, 2020
Friday Sep 18, 2020
For the past 2 years, Sam has been writing about thriving without alcohol on his site unaddicted.co.uk. Having spent years under the spell of alcohol, he understands the feeling of helplessness that can come from addiction. Thankfully, a series of life circumstances, the words of others and seemingly disconnected events conspired to finally set him free. This inspired him to put his words on paper in the hope that he may help a few people along the way.
After returning to the UK after 8 years living abroad, he is continuing his career as a part-time English teacher and Holistic Health Coach. The idea that his story and outlook could help even a few to realise that leaving alcohol behind is a cool and subversive choice is one of his main drives.
6 months ago, he started his new coaching venture ‘The Wild Way’. After almost five years free from alcohol, Sam felt ready to start his own business, built upon all he had learnt from stopping drinking. The Wild Way provides a way for people to work on all aspects of health from food and movement to sleep and finding some quiet in our lives.
Despite leaving alcohol behind, once the ‘Pink Clouds’ had passed, Sam felt there were aspects to his health the he wanted to improve and optimise to support his future. If you see yourself in this pattern and you’re interested in finding out a little more, head over to Wildway.co and take a look!
