I think just the fact you have so much more time when you're not devoted to shopping for your drinking supplies, planning your noon and after work hours and weekend hours around drinking and then collecting all your drinking materials and then arranging your life so other people don't see that you're drinking too much or trying to plan not to be angry around people.
Imagine earning a 'party degree' in college, only to find yourself struggling with alcoholism and anger as you step into the demanding world of law. In this eye-opening episode of the Texas Lawyer Assistance Program podcast, Bree Buchanan sits down with a Texas lawyer who candidly shares her tumultuous journey from heavy drinking to a life of sobriety.
The guest recounts her early days in the legal field, where alcohol seemed like a constant companion, and the difficult realization that she couldn't quit on her own. She dives into her experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous, emphasizing the critical role of a support system in her recovery. The conversation also touches on the unique challenges women face in sobriety and how spirituality played a part in her healing process.
This episode isn't just about the personal struggles of one lawyer; it's a broader look at the mental health challenges many in the legal profession encounter. Listeners will find hope and practical advice as the guest highlights the importance of recognizing when you need help and making use of available resources like the Texas Lawyer Assistance Program. Whether you're in the legal field or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt and inspiring story of resilience and recovery.
