When You’re Doing Everything Right and Still Feel On Edge

You’re doing everything right.

You’ve read the books.

You’ve had the conversations.

You’ve apologised, repaired, and reflected.

And somehow, you still feel on edge.

This episode explores the quiet, confusing place where insight hasn’t brought ease yet — where you can understand your patterns, care deeply, and still feel tense, irritable, and close to the edge. Not because you’re failing, but because effort alone isn’t creating safety.

  • Why self-awareness doesn’t automatically settle your nervous system
  • How alcohol sneaks in when effort collapses, not when you “don’t care”
  • Why doing everything right can still end in relapse, conflict, or self-blame
  • The hidden pattern behind being fine in public and falling apart alone
  • If this episode felt familiar and you don’t want to rush to fix it, the deeper work lives in STRIVE
