For a lot of young men, there's not really a right of passage from when you go like there's no official period where it's like you were a boy and now you are a man. And when I was in my 20, like 21, 22, 20 years old, I was like, I still feel like a boy, but I'm supposed to act like a man a little bit. I don't know how to do that. And I felt incredibly not confident with myself, particularly when meeting other girls, which is like what every 21-year-old guy cares about. And so, I used a lot of alcohol to like cover that up. And then I realized I had a lot of issues that I was still working through as a kid. And I used a lot of alcohol to cover that up. And so, uh, once I got sober, it took about 12 months of being sober to where I started to get very confident in my own in my own skin and confident in my, uh, in myself and thinking that I'm good enough, uh, good enough to like be loved by like a girlfriend or good enough to
like succeed and make money because I always thought I had some type of like special sauce in I. I was like, I have something in me, but I don't know how to express it and I don't know how to like reach or fulfill my potential. Um, and I had all these demons that I would use alcohol to help cover up.
