Addiction is a compulsive behavior we repeat over and over and find hard to stop, even though it has negative consequences. High-functioning alcoholics are people who appear to function normally despite being addicted to alcohol.
Ever wondered how someone can excel in their career while secretly battling addiction? In this episode of 'The Next Right STEPS', host Steve Ward unpacks the complex world of high-functioning alcoholics. These individuals often come from white-collar backgrounds and hold leadership positions, yet they rely on alcohol to manage stress and unwind. They might seem in control, but underneath, there's a constant struggle they may not even fully understand.
Steve explores how denial plays a significant role in their lives, making self-awareness and accountability crucial for recovery. He also highlights the paradox of high achievement and addiction, shedding light on the pressures that drive these behaviors. But it's not all doom and gloom; Steve offers practical prevention skills and insights from Steps Ministries to help anyone at any stage of addiction.
Whether you're grappling with this issue yourself or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable guidance on finding peace, happiness, and greater productivity without relying on alcohol.
