Norm MacDonald on Sobriety, Alcohol, and Life Without Drinking

Описание: #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE

Did alcohol really make Norm funnier—or did it just make him think he was? In this rare conversation, Norm Macdonald gets candid about quitting booze, creativity without crutches, and why not drinking can feel like a superpower in a room full of drunks.

✅ Why alcohol convinces you you’re performing better (when you’re not).
✅ The truth about “drugs & alcohol” and why alcohol is the outlier.
✅ Social pressure: why people get weird when you don’t drink.
✅ Creativity without booze: Dali’s mantra, presence, and real flow.
✅ Status, friends, and the identity shift when you stop.
