A Gen Z Story - Pt.2 - w/ Matthew Dingee
Ep24: Matthew Dingee on addiction, faith, and the battle for belongingThis one hits deep.
In Part 2 of his raw conversation, 17-year-old life coach Matthew Dingee opens up about his descent into substance use, the chase for dopamine, and how the desire to fit in nearly cost him his life.
From mixing medication with alcohol, suicidal episodes, peer pressure, and emotional chaos, to finding grounding in community and purpose through faith.
This is the unfiltered story of a young man walking himself out of the dark.
It’s not a redemption arc. It’s a reckoning.
What’s in this episode:
The hidden dangers of mixing meds with alcohol as a teen
The misunderstood role of dopamine in addiction and peak chasing
The impact of early peer pressure and identity distortion
Vaping, marketing, and how kids get hooked without realizing
Why sobriety felt like a prison and substances felt like freedom
How witnessing his sister’s mental health journey influenced his own
The power of community, faith, and honest mentorship
What brought him to the church
A full-circle moment: from drug use in the church parking lot to working there
If you’re raising a son, mentoring youth, or you remember the tension of being young and misunderstood. This one hits different. Share it with someone who needs to know they’re not alone. These are the conversations that ripple forward.
