    Why Most High Performers Stay Addicted (and how to help yourself get out) 💼🧠

    Book in a call with my team using this link and let’s work together to get you on the path to lasting recovery: https://link.superchargeyourrecovery.coach/widget/bookings/recoveryroadmap In this episode of the Alcohol and Addiction Recovery Podcast, I dive into why so many high-performing individuals from CEOs and athletes to creatives and entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in the cycle of alcohol addiction, substance use, and compulsive behaviours. With over 15 years of doctorate-level experience in addiction recovery and trauma healing, I’ve helped thousands of people break free from addiction without relying on traditional rehab. I also spent five and a half years in a monastery, where I developed tools for emotional regulation, stillness, and control  which now shape the spiritually holistic and science-backed approach I use in my practice. If you’re a high achiever silently struggling with addiction, or if you feel like you’ve tried everything and still can’t stop, this episode will help you see the root causes clearly and offer a path forward. You don’t need to hit rock bottom, you just need the right strategy.

    #003 - Reacting to Andrew Tate, Patrick Bet-David & Joe Rogan on Addiction 🎙️💭

    Book in a call with my team using this link and let’s work together to get you on the path to lasting recovery: https://link.superchargeyourrecovery.coach/widget/bookings/recoveryroadmapPeople often ask me why I speak so strongly against alcohol.In this episode, I break down powerful clips from Andrew Tate, Patrick Bet-David, and Joe Rogan and reflect on the deeper cost of alcohol and addiction.From Tate admitting he didn’t quit because of religion (but because he chose to), to PBD explaining why alcohol clouds his clarity, these stories aren’t just about alcohol. They’re about control, focus, and who’s really running the show when substances are involved.Sobriety isn’t about weakness. It’s about waking up. And sometimes, it takes losing control to realise you want it back.Follow Dr. Maria:https://www.instagram.com/dr.mariapower/⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.mariapower⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/SuperchargeYourRecovery/⁠https://www.youtube.com/@drmariapowerTimestamps00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:06 - Tate’s Sobriety Trigger00:03:40 - The Messy Reality00:06:16 - Confidence or Substance00:07:45 – Client Stories of Denial00:09:04 – Control vs. Destruction00:12:06 – The Addiction Spiral00:13:28 – Final Thoughts on Recovery
