High-functioning alcoholics are people who appear to function normally despite being addicted to alcohol. They are often not viewed as alcoholics because they don't fit the common stereotype, since they have succeeded or overachieved during their life.
Ever wondered how some people seem to have it all together yet struggle with alcohol addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Next Right STEPS', Steve C. Ward dives into the often-overlooked world of high-functioning alcoholics. These individuals might be your colleagues, friends, or even family members—people who excel in their careers and appear to lead successful lives but are quietly battling addiction.
Steve sheds light on how the traits that make someone a high achiever can also make them susceptible to addiction. From white-collar professionals to community leaders, high-functioning alcoholics use alcohol to cope with stress and other underlying issues they may not even recognize. The episode delves into the importance of self-awareness and accountability, highlighting how these individuals can develop the humility and vulnerability needed to seek help.
Steve emphasizes that while it may be challenging for those wired for success and control to admit their struggles, doing so can lead to a level of peace and happiness they’ve never experienced before. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It offers practical advice and proven techniques to improve life and prevent addiction from taking over.
Tune in to discover how even the most successful people can find a path to recovery and a more fulfilling life.
