First time (struggling) Succulent grower

So I bought these succulents from a neighbor lady who had them in her garden and sells them because she grows so many. I bought three and put them in pots.

I didn't know much about succulents and drainage. These pots don't have holes in the bottom (I'm going to drill some soon) and don't have rocks or gravel at the bottom.

They're looking pretty sad, and I've tried to research if it's too much/too little sunlight/water. The leaves are very bleach/a light color and very wrinkly. The tips of the leaves are not however. It's all very conflicting and I was wondering if I could ask someone directly, it would be very helpful.

I also was wondering if I drill holes in the bottom of the cups, do I need to also put gravel/rocks at the bottom? Will it help or is it unnecessary?

Thank you for all your input in advance.
