“I never got a DUI. I never got arrested. I never lost my job. So how could I possibly have a problem with alcohol?”
Mateja didn’t drink until she was 21. She had a successful career, a good family, and from the outside looked like someone who had it all together. But behind the scenes, alcohol was becoming harder to ignore.
In this episode, Mateja shares her journey through college drinking, restaurant culture, blackouts, anxiety, and the realization that you don’t have to hit rock bottom to quit drinking.
We discuss high-functioning alcoholism, sober curiosity, recovery, AA, social pressure, anxiety, and what life looks like after alcohol.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your drinking is “bad enough” to quit, this episode is for you.
