You’re not drinking for fun. You’re drinking to feel like you’re enough. But no matter how many glasses you pour, the feeling never sticks—because alcohol can’t fix a childhood wound. In today’s episode, we explore one of the most powerful workshops inside STRIVE Foundations: Why We Never Feel Good Enough. Whether you drink at the pub to fit in or alone to silence the shame, this episode is a wake-up call. Lee shares his own story of being bullied as a child and how that early experience shaped a PART of him that never felt worthy. That PART later reached for wine, not because of weakness, but because of a deep, unspoken pain. If you’ve ever been afraid to tell someone you’re quitting alcohol, if you’ve ever used booze to feel “normal,” or if you’ve ever felt like a burden—this is for you. This episode isn’t about stopping drinking. It’s about understanding why you started. It’s about healing. It’s about remembering who you are underneath the mask. 🎯 Curious about your drinking? You don’t have to be ready to quit. You just have to be ready to look.
