SEASON 1 : EPISODE 12
“No Such Thing as a Functional Alcoholic: Drew’s 8-Year Journey from Secret Drinking to Radical Honesty"
Seth sits down with Drew—a successful attorney, father of four, and recovering "functional alcoholic"—to dismantle the lie that addiction has to look dramatic to be destructive. Drew shares his story of nightly wine dependency, dishonest grocery store runs, and his calendar of failed sobriety attempts which ultimately led him to surrender on October 30, 2016.
This episode discusses:
🔹 Why "two drinks a night" can be just as enslaving as blackout binges
🔹 The misleading ways professionals excuse addiction as cultural, social, and excusable.
🔹 How honesty is crucial to sobriety and adhering to your known values.
🔹 The reality that getting sober does not mean life will not be difficult.
🔹 Why forgiveness, even when not reciprocated, is the ultimate act of self-liberation
🔹 Sobriety is a superpower.
From co-parenting through divorce to recently becoming engaged to be married again, Drew’s story proves recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about trading the illusion of control for the freedom of RADICAL accountability.
If you relate to Drew’s story and would like to connect with him, don’t wait.
