Perfection, Pressure, and the Power of Saying ‘Enough’

In today’s episode, David shares how his relationship with alcohol began at just 16 or 17 years old, using it to cope with the pressure of perfection in ballet and the everyday stressors of life. Later, drinking became a way to fit in when he entered the gay community—it was just what everyone did. Eventually, David reached a turning point, and after a friend introduced him to an online alcohol-free community, everything changed. Now, over a year sober, David says he’s never been happier.
