1000 Days Sober Podcast

Alcohol, Ambivalence, and the Problem of Being Pretty Good at Life

25 Jul 2025

Description

You don’t need to hit rock bottom to be stuck.   In fact, some of the hardest people to help—the ones who stall the longest, question themselves the most, and carry their suffering in silence—are the ones who are “pretty good” at life.   In this Coach’s Corner episode, Lee shares real stories from STRIVERS who’ve mastered survival but haven’t yet chosen transformation. They’re not in hell, but they’re not in heaven either. They’re stuck in the purgatory of “not that bad.”   You’ll meet James, a successful man who’s done everything right—except decide what he really wants. And Lee reflects on his own journey through comfort, status, and poker fame… and the hidden cost of never making a true choice.   If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m doing okay… I don’t need to change,” this episode is your wake-up call.   🎯 The absence of catastrophe doesn’t mean the presence of peace. 🧱 Ambivalence is resistance dressed in comfort. 🔥 “Not that bad” might be your biggest obstacle to becoming who you’re meant to be. 🧭 Clarity starts when you stop justifying a life you don’t love.   Rate and review the show if this one hit home—and if you’re done with dabbling and ready to decide, email Lee at [email protected] with the words “I’m ready.”   Much love, and STRIVE on.
