It should be a choice, not an expectation that we drink.
Imagine being in a profession where stress and deadlines are a constant companion, and alcohol is a staple at nearly every work event. 'Off the Record' dives into this very scenario, focusing on the often-overlooked issue of alcoholism within the legal field. Hosted by Kate Allman and Claire Chaffey, this episode pulls back the curtain on why lawyers are three times more likely to be problem drinkers compared to the general population.
The conversation is both eye-opening and essential, featuring insights from psychologist Dr. Tim Sharp of the Happiness Institute and former Channel Seven journalist Talitha Cummins, who shares her personal recovery journey. If you're curious about the hidden struggles behind the polished exteriors of lawyers or seeking practical advice for dealing with similar challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
The hosts tackle questions like, 'Does the legal profession have a drinking problem?' and 'How do stress and anxiety play into it?' With a mix of expert opinions and real-life stories, 'Off the Record' offers a compassionate yet candid look at an issue many prefer to keep in the shadows. Whether you're in the legal profession or just interested in the human side of high-stress careers, this episode provides valuable insights and much-needed awareness.
