Bottom line…addiction crosses all cultural boundaries and discriminates against no one, even the working professional.
Yes, you may have a beautiful home, a new car, a loving spouse, a daughter in soccer and a son in T-ball. You may be highly educated and working your way up the corporate ladder, earning top awards and bonuses. From the outside, people perceive you as a “success,” someone who “has it all.” That doesn’t mean you don’t have a problem with addiction.
From a real perspective, your marriage may be on the edge of collapse, your friendships suffering. Your physical and mental health may be deteriorating. Anxiety, depression, and irritability take center stage. Financial and legal problems seem to be presenting themselves more and more.
You continue to function fine at work, so how could your use of alcohol or drugs really be a problem?
Well, unfortunately, by the time the career consequences catch up, the professional has already entered the chronic phase of chemical dependency and all that one has becomes all that one may lose.
