Vic and Lucy Reveal the Hidden Risks of Being a High-Functioning Drinker

Being a highly functioning drinker is so dangerous as it could mask that you have a problem with drinking even to yourself, and that's the key, isn't it?
Have you ever thought you had it all together while secretly struggling with alcohol? Vic and Lucy from 'Sober Awkward' dive into the complexities of being a high-functioning drinker. They chat about how they managed to keep jobs, relationships, and even motherhood afloat, all while hiding their heavy drinking. From waking up at 5am for a jog to being the 'perfect' parent, they reveal how their successes masked deeper issues.
This episode is a candid look at how easy it is to fool not just others, but yourself too. With humor and honesty, Vic and Lucy share their personal stories and discuss why it took them so long to see the problem. They also offer practical advice for anyone who might be in the same boat, like switching to zero-alcohol options or keeping a diary.
If you've ever wondered if your 'high-functioning' life is hiding something more, this episode is a must-listen. Vic and Lucy encourage everyone to face the truth about their relationship with alcohol and take steps toward a healthier life.
