Many leaders have outstanding social and communication skills and are problem solvers and risk-takers. If those same skills are used to mask drinking or drug use, it may be impossible to tell they are actually struggling with an addiction. In recovery programs, a typical description used for these types of individuals is a “high-functioning” alcoholic or addict. Many people can hold down a good job while still abusing alcohol and/or other mind altering chemicals.



In this podcast, Dr. McKinley interviews two guests who are recovery specialists. Both are very productive psychologists and have expertise in working with individuals who have addictions. Listen in, you might be a bit surprised by what they have to say.
