From growing up around alcoholism to navigating relationships, social settings, and dating sober, she opens up about what really changed when she removed it.Steven brings his perspective from years of drinking through military culture and the wake-up calls that followed, including legal consequences and the process of rebuilding his relationship with alcohol and himself.Together, they dive into:Why “I’m not addicted” isn’t the full pictureThe gap between “not a problem” and actually thrivingHow alcohol impacts sleep, recovery, hormones, and performanceThe connection between alcohol, anxiety, and mental healthSocial pressure, dating, and identity without alcoholThe difference between using alcohol… and escaping with itThis isn’t about telling you to quit.It’s about asking better questions—and being honest about the answers.Because alcohol isn’t just a habit…It’s part of how a lot of people cope, connect, and identify themselves.And when you remove it, you start to see everything a little more clearly.🎙️ Listen now on EHC UnfilteredFollow Steven on Instagram: @ehc_stevenAccess coaching, the Skool community, and more through the link in bio.
