In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy explores the 'Firefighter Trap' – the tendency to thrive on chaos and constant problem-solving, which often keeps people stuck in their drinking habits. Drawing from his personal experiences as an area production manager, Lee shares how his daily routine of tackling endless problems left him feeling overwhelmed and reactive.
He explains how this state of constant firefighting can make chaos feel safer than stillness and how it feeds into our addiction to alcohol.
