You stopped drinking, but you still can’t stop doing. You grind through the weekends, chase one more task, skip rest, and call it “purpose.” But what if that’s not your SELF talking? In this deeply personal episode, Lee Davy flips the script on hustle culture and exposes the hidden firefighter that drives overworking long after the alcohol is gone. It’s not passion. It’s panic. It’s not productivity. It’s protection. Lee reveals how his workaholism was never about ambition—it was a trauma response in disguise. If you’ve ever skipped rest because “you can’t afford to stop,” this episode is for you. We talk about: – How childhood shame becomes adult hustle – Why you’re not lazy—you’re scared to be still – How to tell if your work ethic is a PART, not your SELF – The cost of overworking on your relationships – A powerful vow to break the cycle today This one isn’t about time management. It’s about soul reclamation. #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #TheLiquidLie #WorkaholismRecovery #EmotionalSobriety #IFSHealing #ProductivityCulture #Overworking #StillnessHeals #SelfLedLife #TraumaHealing #AlcoholFreeJourney
