    I Was Too Embarrassed to Ask for Help

    I got the promotion. What I didn’t know was how to do the job. And I was too embarrassed to admit it. Instead of asking for help, I kept quiet. As the pressure mounted, I drank to subdue the anxiety of facing responsibilities I didn’t know how to handle. The drinking didn’t teach me what I needed to know. The silence didn’t make the work easier. But I continued trying to hide the very thing I needed help with. In this episode of The Come Back Code, I speak honestly about getting it wrong at work, drinking to cope, and the embarrassment that stopped me from saying three simple words: “I need help.” This is a difficult part of my story to tell because it means admitting more than my drinking. It means admitting that I was struggling and didn’t let people see it. If you’re keeping quiet because you think you should already have all the answers, this conversation is for you. You don’t have to wait for everything to fall apart before you ask for help. #TheComeBackCode #PeterHerweg

    The Alcohol I Hid From My Wife.

    I thought I was hiding my alcohol from my wife. I was too drunk to notice her watching me hide it. She told me afterwards. She knew. In this episode of The Come Back Code, I share a part of my drinking that is uncomfortable to admit: the hiding, the secrecy, and believing I was getting away with something that was happening right in front of her. There’s an absurdity to that memory now. But there’s also a difficult question: what did my wife see that I wasn’t willing to see in myself? If you’ve ever hidden your drinking—or watched someone you love try to hide theirs—this conversation may feel familiar. I’m Peter Herweg. This happened in my life. And it belongs in the honest conversation about my recovery. Listen to The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg.

    How Do I Forgive Myself For Who I Was When Life Got Heavy.

    Are you still punishing yourself for who you were when life got heavy? The things you said. The people you pushed away. The choices you wish you could take back. Sometimes the hardest part of moving forward is believing you deserve to. In this episode of The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg, I talk about forgiving yourself during and after a difficult season, especially when you are still living with the consequences. We explore: • Understanding what you were carrying when you weren’t coping. • Taking responsibility without turning every mistake into a permanent judgement of who you are. • Facing regret, making amends where possible, and accepting that rebuilding trust takes time. • Giving yourself permission to begin again, even when other people aren’t ready to forgive you. • Learning to respect yourself through the small choices you make today. Forgiving yourself does not erase what happened or excuse the hurt. It means accepting responsibility while allowing yourself the opportunity to live differently. Whether you are rebuilding after addiction, loss, burnout or a season you struggle to explain, this conversation is for the person who keeps thinking, “I should have handled it better.” You can wish you had done things differently and still treat yourself with compassion today. You do not have to keep hating yourself to prove that you regret what happened. Listen, follow The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg, and share this episode with someone who is finding it difficult to forgive themselves. Your past deserves honesty. Your future deserves a chance.

In this deeply personal episode of The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg, I use my own journey of losing myself, facing some uncomfortable truths, and rebuilding my life to explore what it really means to reconnect with your purpose.

    The Lie Behind My Mask

    The mask wasn’t primarily about deceiving others. It was about protecting myself from the truth I wasn’t ready to face.
