The Worry Trap: High-Functioning Alcoholism and Stress

The reason we talk about alcoholism and drug addiction and we don't talk about other addictions to the same extent, is because of the collateral damage that we do if we over consume alcohol. So it's something that's worth talking about.
Ever found yourself wondering if your stress is driving you to drink, or if drinking is making your stress worse? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis tackle this age-old chicken-or-egg dilemma. They dive into their own lives to share how worry and high-functioning alcoholism are intertwined, offering a candid look at their struggles and breakthroughs. From work-related anxieties to family concerns, they discuss how alcohol seemed like a quick fix but ultimately made things worse.
They also touch on the growing societal trend of using substances to manage life’s pressures. Whether you’re dealing with your own alcohol issues or supporting someone who is, this episode sheds light on the importance of emotional management in recovery. It’s a conversation filled with empathy, real-life stories, and practical advice that might just make you rethink your coping mechanisms.
