Overachieving, Anxiety, & Addiction

Lisa was a young, high-powered corporate attorney in the ‘90s, in denial of her alcohol dependency and hiding her spiraling addiction until she couldn’t. Unfortunately, Lisa’s experience isn’t uncommon in the legal profession—a quarter of lawyers qualify as problem drinkers. In this 2-part series, Lisa chronicles her own struggle with alcohol and substance abuse and road to recovery, and discusses the strategies and resources available to lawyers and employers to improve lawyer well-being.
