I was, I look around me and I see so many people quitting alcohol via white knuckling it- what I call white knuckling it, right. Yeah right, it's because it's because you need to understand what is going on.
Ever stopped to think about why we drink alcohol in the first place? In this eye-opening episode of Rewired Radio, host Erica Spiegelman chats with Lee Davy, a man who spent 35 years before asking himself that very question. Once he did, his life changed dramatically. Lee's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about overcoming multiple addictions, surviving a painful divorce, and rebuilding his life from scratch.
He shares how he turned his struggles into a mission to help others through his work with the Needy Helper and the Alcohol & Addiction Podcast. Lee dives deep into the societal beliefs that make drinking seem 'normal' and 'pleasurable'. He challenges these norms and explores how trauma often fuels addiction. The conversation also touches on the insidious role of alcohol advertising and the influence of social media on our drinking habits.
But it's not all doom and gloom; Lee offers practical tips for quitting alcohol and emphasizes the importance of self-talk and self-compassion in recovery. This episode is perfect for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol or supporting someone who is. It's a raw, honest look at the complexities of addiction and the power of questioning societal norms. Tune in to get inspired by Lee's journey and pick up some valuable tools for your own path to sobriety.
