Trying to Quit Drinking? Stop Playing Devil’s Advocate with the People You Love
Manage episode 489409515 series 2857324
You know what’s lonelier than being single?
Being with someone who makes you feel completely alone.
This episode cuts deep into a subtle but devastating behaviour many of us carry—especially in our closest relationships. It’s the Devil’s Advocate PART. The one that pretends to be logical, reasonable, mature… but actually pushes people away.
Lee opens up about a recent rupture with his wife, Liza. Not through shouting. Not through cruelty. But through a quiet abandonment disguised as “seeing both sides.” Sound familiar?
Whether you’re the one playing Devil’s Advocate—or the one who’s been reasoned into silence—this episode will show you the emotional cost of intellect without presence, and how STRIVERS rebuild intimacy without a drink in hand.
You don’t need to win the argument.
You need to stop being alone inside it.
