Addiction, Fear & Who You Are Without Your Habits

Addiction, Fear & Who You Are Without Your Habits

In this episode, we get honest.

What starts as a light intro quickly turns into one of our most vulnerable conversations yet — addiction, fatherhood, losing friends, fear, identity, and what happens when you strip away the habits you thought made you “you.”

We talk about:
The moment David knew he had to quit drinking
The night that changed everything with his kids
Troy losing his friend to a bad batch
The guilt, the “I was supposed to be there” thoughts
The fear of quitting something that feels familiar
Who you are when the crutch is gone
Fear training through jiu-jitsu competitions
Why fear is temporary — but growth is earned

This isn’t about preaching sobriety.
It’s about accountability.
It’s about identity.
It’s about choosing to become someone better — even when it’s uncomfortable.

If this episode helps one person pause, reflect, or make a better decision today… we did our job.
