Can’t Leave Home Without It

In this episode of 420 Reasons Why I Quit Drinking, I explore the fear of not having enough—that anxious urge to over-prepare, especially when it comes to alcohol. I share a memory from a friend’s wedding, where we packed our own roadies and backup booze, just in case. And good thing (or so we thought), because there was only one bottle of wine per table of eight—barely enough for one of us, let alone the whole group.

That moment made me reflect on a deeper pattern. Even now, I catch myself doing the same thing—overpacking my car for work trips, bringing way more than I need, driven by that old fear of what if I don’t have enough?

This episode is about recognizing those lingering mindsets, how they show up in unexpected ways, and how choosing trust over fear has opened the door to true freedom and peace.
