  • Reflections on drinking habits and the impact on personal and professional life
  • Insights into the challenges of relationships and alcohol consumption
  • Journey to recovery and the transformative power of personal reflection
  • Understanding the similarities and differences between heavy drinking and alcoholism
I don't think people really understand how similar heavy drinking and real alcoholism is until you're the real one. And then you recover and then you look at all the people around you.
Imagine working in an environment where everyone around you can easily switch off their drinking habits, but you can't. That's the reality Agent X faced while working in construction. In this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X and Safe and Protected open up about their personal battles with alcoholism. They share raw, honest reflections on the moments that made them realize their drinking was more than just a habit—it was a life-altering problem.
Safe and Protected recounts her drinking days with her husband, who could moderate his intake while she felt trapped in a cycle of overconsumption. Together, they discuss the fine line between heavy drinking and alcoholism and how personal reflection became a transformative tool in their recovery journeys. If you've ever questioned your own drinking habits or are supporting someone who is, this episode offers heartfelt stories and valuable insights that could resonate deeply with you.
