Скачать или смотреть The Bottom Line On The High-Functioning Alcoholic

Many people question if they have a drinking problem because they are a high functioning.

You haven’t had a tragic rock bottom moment yet, so you can continue to tell yourself, “I’m not that bad”.

But, rock bottom isn’t about tragedy or an event that happens to you.

Rock bottom is that feeling you have when your mind is screaming for help, screaming to make it stop, begging for some force to take the desire to drink from you because you can’t bear to live this way anymore.

For me it was sad.

My thoughts were dark, I hated myself and hated my life, I lied to everyone, every thought I had was full of negativity, judgment, and disdain.

My body hurt.

My heart hurt.

That’s rock bottom.

It’s not DUIs and car crashes and getting kicked out of the house and losing everything.

Rock bottom isn’t what happens to you, it’s how you feel when you get to that place that you just can’t go on living the same way for another moment.

And it doesn’t matter what the thing is- alcohol, divorce, weight, illness- we will all have many rock bottoms in many different areas of our lives over the years.

*Other researchers and specialists estimate that as much as 50 to 75% of those with AUDs (alcohol use disorders) are able to function at a high level in many areas of their life.*

You tend to disconnect these two concepts - rock bottom and high-functioning.

I had a rock-bottom tragedy, but was very high-functioning in my life and alcoholism.

The truth is, rock bottom is a feeling, not an event.

And just because you're high-functioning, doesn't mean you won't have your own rock bottom moment.
