Real people, real roles and high functioning addiction!

It was some years ago, while travelling an overnight journey in a train, I happened to come across a very interesting person. Highly impressive persona, reading a sci-fi novel, carrying high end gadgets and making frequent conference calls with his subordinates. In short, to me he seemed to be a very intelligent and highly placed person. We did strike a good conversation about economical, political situations around world and so on. He seemed to be a good company. He had a square family back home. They all loved each other very much; in fact he showed me the snaps of his family members and home, a very happy picture! There was a slight sting of envy; I was merely a beginner at my job then! He had everything I could ever dream of and long for…! Only one odd thing about him was his habit of sipping alcohol from time to time. Meals served on board. We relished the savories. He had a large portion of alcohol before meal…another abnormal thing! To my opinion, it was very strange to consume alcohol in such a huge amount. But he was doing it out of habit, which might have been a result of his highly demanding job. He got off at a station prior to mine.

There was one more co-traveler in my compartment, who was also a part of our conversation, was observing him very closely! He was reading a medical journal and was a medical practitioner at a rehab. After the earlier alighted train, we continued to talk. Some very shocking revelations came from the other co passenger. According to him, the impressive man was a high functioning alcoholic! The expert shared his own experiences about such people. He also imparted me some knowledge about the treatment for functioning alcoholic carried out at his rehab. Everything seemed so unrealistic, as it did not sink into me, that a person with every good fortune at his disposal can be an addict! He also mentioned that there are many kinds of help available to convince these addicts to accept the problem and get them ready for the treatment for functioning addict. Social media sites also play their role and share links to some good literature for such addictions and their recovery. I thanked him heartily for interesting bits of information!
