In my opinion, a functional alcoholic in most cases needs just as much help as the alcoholic, because the functional alcoholic has the ability just to go longer with the negative behavior pattern of excessive drinking without the accountability associated with it.
Ever wondered if someone can drink heavily and still seem to have it all together? In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober is Dope', host POP Buchanan pulls back the curtain on functional alcoholism. While it might look like these individuals are managing their lives just fine, the reality is far more complicated.
POP, who has been sober for over a decade, explains how functional alcoholics often drink as much as clinical alcoholics but manage to maintain a facade of normalcy due to their high tolerance levels. This form of addiction can lead to severe health issues like advanced liver disease and mental health struggles, eventually spiraling into full-blown alcoholism. POP dives into the journey from being a functional addict to becoming dysfunctional, shedding light on the hidden dangers along the way.
He emphasizes that functional alcoholics need just as much support and intervention as those whose addictions are more visibly disruptive. Throughout the episode, POP champions a holistic approach to recovery, combining traditional methods like therapy and rehab with spiritual practices such as prayer and meditation. He also stresses the importance of quitting harmful habits like smoking and making healthier lifestyle choices.
With over 350 episodes filled with practical advice and inspirational stories, 'Sober is Dope' serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. If you or someone you know is dealing with functional alcoholism, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to seek help and make positive changes.
