Alcoholism is the only disease in existence that will tell you you don't have the disease.
Ever wondered how someone can seem perfectly fine on the outside while battling addiction on the inside? In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', host Ash Butterss chats with Chantal Horton, a psychologist and mother of two, who got sober in Dubai back in May 2017. Chantal opens up about her years as a high-functioning alcoholic, hiding behind her professional success and personal achievements to avoid confronting her addiction.
They discuss how society glorifies alcohol and how binge drinking can still mean you have a problem. Chantal's story is one of resilience and transformation. She shares the tools she uses daily to maintain her sobriety and offers insights into the stigma surrounding alcoholism, the importance of mental health, and the role of therapy in recovery. With over five years of sobriety under her belt, Chantal's honesty and vulnerability make this conversation both eye-opening and relatable.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the realities behind addiction, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to hear Chantal's powerful story and learn more about living a life free from the chains of denial.
