Living with a functional alcoholic can be maddening. They seem to have it all together on the surface—holding down a job, managing responsibilities—but behind closed doors, the drinking is taking a toll. The hardest part? They’re stuck in denial, convincing themselves (and maybe even you) that they’ve got it under control.

In this live video, we’ll dive into why functional alcoholics stay stuck in denial and, more importantly, how you can help break through it. I’ll share practical, proven strategies to help you shine a light on the problem without creating defensiveness or conflict.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to help, this is the conversation you need. Let’s talk about how to stop the cycle of denial and start creating real change.

Ready to take the next step?
��Join my 5-day Motivation Unlocked Challenge! This challenge is designed to help you break through your loved one’s denial and motivate them toward change. Don’t wait—sign up now: Motivation Unlocked Challenge. https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.online/motivation-unlocked-challenge
