Just because you manage to keep up appearances at work and home doesn't mean your drinking isn't a problem. Angela, a seasoned coach and recovering alcoholic herself, shares her insights on why it's crucial to address the root causes of your drinking rather than getting caught up in labels and lifestyle differences.
