    Never Have I Had the Urge...to be Lonely

    🎧 Listen now. What does loneliness actually look like? Can you live alone and be perfectly content? Can you be surrounded by family, friends, coworkers, followers — even a partner — and still feel completely alone? In this episode, Victor J. starts with a simple lunch at Showmars and a thought triggered by Elvis Presley’s Are You Lonesome Tonight? What begins as an observation of strangers turns into a deeply personal examination of loneliness, connection, relationships, nostalgia, social media, wealth, happiness, and the stories we create about other people from the outside. From Christmas lights seen through a bus window in 1990s Atlanta, to TikTok, long-distance friendships, past relationships, and listeners around the world, this episode asks a bigger question: In a world of more than eight billion people, how can so many of us still feel lonely? Maybe the opposite of loneliness isn’t company. Maybe it’s connection. If you enjoy Never Have I Had the Urge, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or a rating on Spotify.

    Never Have I Had the Urge... To be Unfriendly

    🎧 Listen now. Friendship can be one of the most meaningful relationships in our lives — and sometimes one of the most complicated. In this episode of Never Have I Had the Urge, I take a personal look at friendship: the people who stay, the people who drift away, the relationships that survive time and distance, and the moments when letting go may actually be the healthiest choice. We talk about trust, loyalty, accountability, changing seasons of life, and a question most of us eventually have to face: Is friendship measured by proximity… or by significance? And after an unexpected delay, this episode also marks a long-awaited return to the microphone. Thank you to everyone who reached out, checked in, called, messaged, and continued supporting the show. 🎙️ Never Have I Had the Urge… To Be Unfriendly Connect with the show: hello@neverhaveihadtheurge.com neverhaveihadtheurge.com Support the show 📧 Connect with the show: hello@neverhaveihadtheurge.com 📌Follow for updates: Facebook & Instagram @NeverHaveIHadtheUrge 🎙️More stories coming soon - thanks for listening.

    Never Have I Had the Urge: To Go Back Into the Water

    🎧 Listen now. Why do people willingly return to the ocean, lakes, rivers, and deep water environments despite knowing the risks? In this episode of Never Have I Had the Urge, Victor Jimenez explores the psychology of fear, risk-taking, adventure, and humanity's fascination with the unknown beneath the water's surface. From childhood beach memories and shark attacks to the lasting cultural impact of Jaws, we examine why people continue swimming, surfing, diving, boating, and exploring waters that both attract and terrify us. What drives us to step into places where we aren't completely in control? Why does fear sometimes push us away—and other times pull us closer? Join us as we explore one of humanity's oldest and most mysterious urges: the urge to go back in the water. The urges we resist... and the ones we surrender to.

    Never Have I Had the Urge: To be an Alcoholic

    🎧 Listen now. “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.” In the Season 2 premiere of Never Have I Had the Urge, Victor takes us deep into the "engine room" of recovery. We aren't just talking about the struggle; we are looking at the manual. From the ancient history of "King Alcohol" to a cold morning in 1935 Akron, Ohio, this episode explores how a "creeping vine" of sobriety crossed oceans and language barriers to save millions of lives. Victor shares his own journey—from the high-intensity culture of the military at Fort Leonard Wood to the moment he simply "lost the taste" for the thrill. It’s a raw look at the difference between having a drink and drinking alcoholically. Whether you are a newcomer looking for a blueprint, a old-timer reflecting on the "First One Hundred," or someone just trying to understand the "Urge," this episode breaks down "How It Works" for the modern world.
