A very successful Alcoholic
The other day I heard about this guy who packs away about 1 1/2 fifths of vodka everyday and uses Xanax.
At first, I felt sorry for the guy until I also found out the following:
While his drinking and using were increasing, so were his accomplishments.
He became the CEO of a very successful company starting from middle management 15 years before.
He sits on the board of several other companies as a highly esteemed colleague.
He is on the board of trustees for his Alma Mater (university).
He makes time for his children and they adore him.
He is a pillar in the community.
What???
There was one final important detail about this guy- he does not exist - anywhere.
It was a story my sponsor shared in a meeting Saturday night and I found it quite profound in it's simple truth.
This was just something I wanted to share. Like it or not - he's probably right.
