Who this episode is for:Anyone who thinks addiction can't touch high-achieving professionals 🧠💉People who think "functioning alcoholic" is a badge of honor 🥃🏆Those stalling on help because \"work is too busy\" 🏃‍♂️📅Anyone who's survived a brutal divorce 💔Healthcare workers, therapists & rehab skeptics 🩺🧪Family members who don’t get why their addicted loved one keeps spiraling 😔👨‍👩‍👧‍👦People NOT in recovery but know they’re circling the drain 🚨🌀Dr. Chris Schenewerk is in the building. And if you think doctors are immune to the wreckage addiction brings, buckle the hell up. Chris, Jakob & (a Jeff-less) Pondoff dive into a no-holds-barred convo with the Medical Director of Illinois Recovery Center—who also happens to be a recovering alcoholic with one hell of a story.From vodka before work & blacking out mid-interviews to meeting his now-wife in rehab & launching a recovery movement across Southern Illinois, Dr. Chris drops wisdom & one-liners like it’s second nature. This episode is raw. It’s real. It’s redemption in action. 🔥We hit everything: colonoscopy prep as a diet plan, trauma in kids, why "functioning addict" is bullshit, & how the Three Amigos AA group grew from four in the back of a doctor’s office to 50+ strong at Life Community Church in Columbia, IL.
