Being a good firefighter might keep the lights on, but it will burn you out from the inside.
Ever feel like you're constantly putting out fires, both literally and metaphorically? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy takes a deep dive into what he calls the 'Firefighter Trap'. This episode is all about recognising the chaos in our lives that keeps us reaching for the bottle. Lee shares his personal experience from his days working in the railway industry, where he was always on high alert, ready to solve one crisis after another.
He explains how this constant state of reactivity not only burned him out but also kept him stuck in unhealthy habits, including drinking. Lee's candid storytelling and relatable anecdotes make this episode a must-listen for anyone who feels trapped in a cycle of chaos and reactivity. You'll learn why chaos can feel safer than stillness, how it feeds into our addictive behaviours, and what it means to live from a place of self-awareness rather than constant reactivity.
Lee also offers practical advice on how to break free from the Firefighter Trap, encouraging you to become a strategist in your own life. By identifying the root causes of your problems rather than just putting out fires, you can start to heal and live a more self-led, alcohol-free life. So, if you're tired of the constant chaos and looking for a way out, this episode is for you.
Lee's insights are both eye-opening and practical, offering a roadmap to a calmer, more intentional life. Don't miss it!
