Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the gnarliest, most real, addiction, recovery, and mental health podcast on the internet. In today’s episode, we’re diving into: WHY You’re Not the Functioning Addict You Think You Are…

SPOILER ALERT: This episode will hit hard, peel back the mask of functioning addiction, and expose the lies we tell ourselves just to get through the day.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• What it really means to be a “functioning addict” — and why that label can keep you stuck in the shit.
• The brutal truth about lying to yourself and how it slowly destroys your peace and your soul.
• How I lived the lie, pretending everything was fine while I was falling apart inside.
• Some no-bullshit tips on how to start facing reality and begin clawing your way out of addiction.
• Why “functioning” isn’t freedom — it’s just another form of silent suffering.

If you’re caught in the trap of thinking you’re okay just because you’re still showing up, this episode is for you. It’s time to drop the act, get honest, and start fighting for real peace.
