I am an alcoholic, a drug addict, and a lawyer.  I started out highly functional despite bouts of alcohol binging and depression. 

Andy Benjamin, JD, PhD, ABPP, discusses briefly the etiology of lawyer stress that can lead to depression, alcohol/drug abuse, and cardiovascular disease.

I love being a volunteer peer counselor for other lawyers struggling with addiction.  Peer counseling provides me with continuous opportunities to reflect on my own personal progress.
