“I wasn’t drinking normal, ever. I was a walking red flag.”
On the outside, Jenna Caughman was the picture of success: homecoming royalty, a thriving career, and a loyal circle of friends. But behind the scenes, a “restless turmoil” was growing that only alcohol could quiet. In this deeply personal session, Sarah Pritchard sits down with her lifelong best friend, Jenna, to pull back the curtain on the high functioning alcoholic experience.
They discuss the terrifying transition from social drinking to the “darkness” of physical dependency, the medical reality of alcohol withdrawal, and the delusion that you can ever “cut back” once the line has been crossed. This isn’t just a story about hitting rock bottom; it’s a roadmap for high-achievers to move from the “zombie” state of active addiction to a life of genuine peace and connection.
