1000 Days Sober Podcast

You’re not paranoid. The Liquid Lie is watching you.   It knows what you click. It knows what you linger on. And it knows how to sell alcohol—without ever mentioning alcohol.   In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I reveal how the Liquid Lie has evolved into digital mind control. From Gmail ads to superhero movies, it’s not just selling booze—it’s programming you to crave it.   But awareness is the antidote.   Tune in to learn how to spot the manipulation, reclaim your attention, and live a SELF-led life, AFAF—where your nervous system isn’t hijacked by dopamine bait and your identity isn’t outsourced to algorithms.   Listen now to reclaim your feed, your mind, and your power.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #TheLiquidLie #alcoholrecovery #digitalwellness #alcoholawareness #attentioneconomy #alcoholfreedom #selfledliving #quitdrinking #alcoholmarketing #dopaminemanagement #identityshift #nervoussystemhealing #reprogramming #IFS #heinekentrigger #mindspacehygiene

You’re not imagining it. The tension. The fear. The gnawing sense that something’s off.   Living with someone who drinks can make you question your sanity. You want to be supportive, patient, strong—but deep down, you don’t feel safe.   In this episode, Lee Davy rips the lid off the unspoken reality of living with a drinker. You’ll learn how the Liquid Lie keeps partners trapped in cycles of blame, confusion, and fear—and how to shift the dynamic without losing yourSELF.   This one is for the STRIVERS quietly suffering, thinking they’re the problem. You’re not. You’re just not safe.   Listen to learn: — Why your boundaries matter more than their promises — The difference between loving communication and control — What to do when they won’t stop drinking—but you won’t stop loving yourself   It’s time to stop shrinking and start choosing you.   Much love, and STRIVE on!   Lee   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #TheLiquidLie #alcoholrecovery #boundaries #emotionalabuse #relationshipadvice #selfledliving #narcissisticrelationships #alcoholawareness #quitdrinking #communicationtools #nonviolentcommunication #daviddburns #relationshipboundaries #toxiclove #choosingself #youarenotalone #walkawaypower #alcoholismandrelationships

You want to be alcohol-free-as-fuck. You want it to feel light. Joyful. Liberating. But your relationship feels like a war zone. You flinch when they speak. You numb out when they touch you. And when things get tense, your PARTS whisper, “I deserve a drink.”   Sound familiar?   After 15 years of helping people live SELF-led lives, I’ve learned this truth: Your relationship with alcohol is often a mirror of your relationship with relationship itself.   In this episode, I unpack the three relationship models most STRIVERS get trapped in—and how each one quietly fuels alcohol use.   We’ll cover: – Why most of us are stuck in legacy burdens from our parents – How the “good guy” 50/50 model kills intimacy – What the 80/80 model looks like in real life—and why it starts with YOU – The real reason alcohol starts to look like a solution – What to do if your partner refuses to do their work   If you’re trying to be AFAF while your relationship’s a mess, this one’s for you.   Subscribe.

You’re at a wedding… They’re laughing over wine. You’re swirling sparkling water—and silently spiralling.   That voice inside you says: “Why do they get to drink—and I don’t?”   In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy breaks down what’s really going on when we feel resentful that others can drink “normally.” Spoiler: it’s not about them. It’s about the PART of you that still believes you’re missing out.   You’ll learn how to meet resentment with compassion, how to reconnect to your SELF, and how to stop using someone else’s illusion to betray your truth.   In this episode: – Why resentment is a red flag from PARTS, not a signal from truth – The five-step path to transform resentment into SELF-leadership – How to release the myth of “normal drinking” once and for all – Practical ways to meet unmet needs without turning to alcohol   You’re not the one being punished. You’re the one breaking free.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #resentment #alcoholfreejourney #normaldrinkingmyth #selfledliving #quitdrinking #dramatriangle #emotionalhealing #TheLiquidLie #alcoholtruth #alcoholrecovery

What if your peace depends on someone else’s buzz?   In this episode, I’m speaking to anyone who’s alcohol-free-as-fuck but still living with a drinker. And here’s the twist—sometimes, when they drink, they soften. They touch more. Laugh more. Love more. And part of you likes it.   That’s not weakness. That’s conditioning. And it’s costing you your SELF.   If you find yourself hoping for their next glass—not because you want to drink, but because you want them to become softer, safer, sweeter—then this episode is for you.   You’ll learn how to shift from the outside-in life to the inside-out life—where connection doesn’t depend on sedation, and where intimacy isn’t performance, but presence.   Hit play, STRIVER. And take your power back.   #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #TheLiquidLie #relationshipadvice #alcoholrecovery #emotionalintimacy #nervoussystemhealing #alcoholfreeasfuck

Here’s a hard truth no one’s talking about:   75% of sexual assaults involve alcohol. Most perpetrators are men. And most of them were drinking.   That’s not a coincidence. That’s not a cultural quirk. That’s a crisis.   In this episode, I explore how the Liquid Lie hijacks our integrity—especially in moments of high emotion and low inhibition. I talk about what happens when alcohol fuels desire faster than your conscience can catch up… and why real leadership starts with staying sober.   This isn’t about policing men—it’s about showing them a better way.   A SELF-led way.   Because when we ditch the bottle, we get our boundaries back.   And when we lead from presence, we don’t just avoid harm. We model something better.   Something safer. Something stronger. Something real.     #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #TheLiquidLie #MensMentalHealth #ConsentMatters #RealMenLead #QuitDrinking #DrunkSex #AlcoholAwareness #Integrity #NervousSystemRegulation #LeadershipDevelopment

You know what’s lonelier than being single? Being with someone who makes you feel completely alone.   This episode cuts deep into a subtle but devastating behaviour many of us carry—especially in our closest relationships. It’s the Devil’s Advocate PART. The one that pretends to be logical, reasonable, mature… but actually pushes people away.   Lee opens up about a recent rupture with his wife, Liza. Not through shouting. Not through cruelty. But through a quiet abandonment disguised as “seeing both sides.” Sound familiar?   Whether you’re the one playing Devil’s Advocate—or the one who’s been reasoned into silence—this episode will show you the emotional cost of intellect without presence, and how STRIVERS rebuild intimacy without a drink in hand.   You don’t need to win the argument. You need to stop being alone inside it.       #1000DaysSoberPodcast, #LeeDavy, #STRIVE, #STRIVEMethod, #AFAF, #AlcoholAwareness, #QuitDrinking, #RelationshipRepair, #YoungMums, #EmotionalIntelligence, #StopDrinking, #SelfLedLife, #IFS, #DevilsAdvocate, #HealingIntimacy, #ConnectionNotCorrection, #ConsciousPartnership

Two killers. One gets banned. The other gets branded.   In today’s episode, I expose the brutal hypocrisy behind how our society talks about drugs. Fentanyl is seen as a crisis. Alcohol is celebrated like a dinner guest.   And yet alcohol kills 3 million people every year—double the U.S. death toll of fentanyl.   Why does one spark outrage while the other gets a toast?   We explore the lies politicians won’t touch, the silence that costs lives, and the cultural conditioning that keeps us trapped in the Liquid Lie.   If you’ve ever wondered why quitting alcohol felt impossible—this episode might just show you why it was never your fault.   STRIVERS don’t play along. We name it. We walk away. We live SELF-led, AFAF.   Tune in and start seeing clearly.   —   🎧 Rate & Review – so others can wake up too 📧 Email thestrivemethod@gmail.com to share your thoughts or ask for support 🧠 Want coaching?

Don’t drink? You must be gay. That’s what they said—not because they knew, but because they needed to wound. Because in a world ruled by the Liquid Lie, the fastest way to make you conform is to make you ashamed of who you are.   This episode goes deep into Pride, shame, masculinity, and what it means to survive a culture that punishes difference with a pint. Whether you’re queer or not, if you’ve ever hidden your truth to fit in, this one’s for you.   We talk about South Wales, rugby clubs, toxic masculinity, and the invisible contract boys sign the moment they pick up a drink. And we end with a vow—to stop drinking not to be perfect… but to be free.     #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #QueerHealing #InternalFamilySystems #AlcoholCulture #ToxicMasculinity #LiveYourTruth #AlcoholFreeLife #HealingFromShame #IFS #LiquidLie #PrideNotPints #ChildhoodWounds #LiveAFAF #SelfLedLife #CulturalConditioning #EndTheLie #FreedomNotFear #ShameFreeLiving #MasculinityRedefined #BelongingNotBooze

You don’t drink because you love the taste. You drink because—deep down—you’ve been taught that you’re not enough without it.   Today’s episode is a straight-up callout of the Liquid Lie that links your self-worth to the glass in your hand.   We’re diving into shame, perfectionism, and the impossible game of chasing approval through alcohol. We’re talking about Brené Brown, the inner child who still aches for love, and what it really takes to build your worth from the inside out.   This one’s for every STRIVER who’s ever felt like walking away from alcohol meant walking away from being “fun,” “lovable,” or “worthy.”   You are already enough.
