Do you have a narcissist in your life…
an alcoholic…
or maybe both?
And more importantly — do you know the difference?
This week’s episode is one of the most eye-opening conversations we’ve had on the show. We brought on Maya, a licensed mental health counselor, to break down the real distinctions between narcissistic personality disorder and alcoholism — and why these two patterns can look so similar from the outside.
Here’s the truth most people miss:
Narcissism isn’t “someone who’s a little selfish.”
And alcoholism isn’t “someone who drinks too much.”
Both can trace their roots back to deep, unresolved childhood trauma — but they manifest in totally different ways.
And Maya does not hold back.
She explains:
🔹 Why narcissistic traits show up the way they do
🔹 What alcoholism is actually doing for a person — beyond the destruction it causes
🔹 How these two patterns overlap… and where they absolutely don’t
🔹 What families need to understand if they’re trying to support someone in either category
If you’ve ever wondered What am I actually dealing with? or struggled to make sense of someone’s behavior, this episode is going to bring more clarity than you’ve ever had.
