The Dangers of Highly Functioning

Series 3 is here! Today Vic and Lucy discuss being highly functional drinkers. What is it and why does it take so long to identify? Both the girls functioned well enough in life to cleverly and silently slip under the radar, they held down jobs, got married and even pulled off motherhood! They looked functional from the outside but beneath the function they were both heavily drinking, using their success's as an excuse to pour another glass. Today Vic and Lucy have some revelations about their sordid pasts and find out why waking up at 5am for a jog, being the best parent in the world or keeping down a steady job, might not have meant they were winning.... It actually meant they were hiding a problem in plain sight.
