You want to be alcohol-free-as-fuck.
You want it to feel light. Joyful. Liberating.
But your relationship feels like a war zone.
You flinch when they speak.
You numb out when they touch you.
And when things get tense, your PARTS whisper, “I deserve a drink.”
Sound familiar?
After 15 years of helping people live SELF-led lives, I’ve learned this truth:
Your relationship with alcohol is often a mirror of your relationship with relationship itself.
In this episode, I unpack the three relationship models most STRIVERS get trapped in—and how each one quietly fuels alcohol use.
We’ll cover:
– Why most of us are stuck in legacy burdens from our parents
– How the “good guy” 50/50 model kills intimacy
– What the 80/80 model looks like in real life—and why it starts with YOU
– The real reason alcohol starts to look like a solution
– What to do if your partner refuses to do their work
