The Sober Scoop
"High functioning alcoholic" - jail, death, or sobriety
If I had stayed on the path I was on, it was going to end one of three ways: jail, death, or sobriety. And I’m so grateful I chose sobriety.
Just because I’d been lucky so far didn’t mean my drinking wasn’t going to catch up with me, it just meant it hadn’t yet. Being high-functioning while drinking heavily isn’t a flex... It’s actually incredibly dangerous.
So today, I want to talk about the myth of the high-functioning drinker -and why ‘nothing bad has happened yet’ is one of the most dangerous lies alcohol tells us.
