1000 Days Sober Podcast

Moderation is a Myth: The Hard Truth About Cutting Down

13 Aug 2025

Description

The moment you think you can “just” have one drink after years alcohol-free, you’ve already lost. Moderation isn’t control—it’s the first crack in the dam.   In this episode, I share my own failed attempt at moderation after three years alcohol-free-as-fuck, the painful Vegas-to-Lion-King wake-up call that ended it, and the deeper truth that moderation is rarely about the drink—it’s about hidden pain. You’ll learn how Internal Family Systems therapy explains the ‘firefighters’ and ‘exiles’ behind relapse, and why you can’t fight them alone.   If moderation feels tempting right now, it’s time to ask what’s really hurting inside. And if you want the tools, awareness, and support to face it head-on without sliding back into the cycle, STRIVE Foundations is where you start.   Follow @LeeDavyCoaching for the best alcohol-free content on the planet.
