You’re lying beside someone you love—but it feels like you’re on different planets. For STRIVERS, touch isn’t just about sex. It’s about being seen. And sometimes, the deeper hunger is for intimacy, presence, and validation—not another glass of wine to soften the rejection. In today’s episode, I share a raw personal story about how alcohol, pestering, and resentment nearly cost me real connection—and how choosing SELF over pressure transformed my marriage. Whether you’re single and craving touch, or in a relationship where sex feels transactional, this episode offers a radical reframe: intimacy starts within. And alcohol? It was never the answer. #1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE #STRIVEMethod #AFAF #alcoholrecovery #emotionalintimacy #alcoholfree #soberrelationships #IFS #selfledliving #soberlove #intimacywithoutalcohol #recoveryjourney #masculinefemininebalance #touchstarvation #codependencyhealing #alcoholfreedom
