DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
• Practicing law can be stressful. You neverget caught up. You are anxious, irritable,depressed or burned out. You need abreak but feel you can’t take any time off.
• Perhaps you are drinking more than youused to or taking drugs in order to relax.
• You have trouble sleeping and use sleepingpills to fall asleep.
• You can’t concentrate on work. You’remissing deadlines, avoiding calls orforgetting meetings. You are overwhelmed.
• After practicing law for years you wishyou could quit, but can’t.
• Your personal life is falling apart and youfeel you have no one to confide in.
• Your finances are in disarray—toomuch debt, uncontrolled spendingor gambling.
• You no longer enjoy hobbies, otheractivities and friendships.
• Others have expressed concern.You wish they would mindtheir own business.
YOUNEVERHAVETOFEELTHISWAYAGAIN
At one time or another everyone feelsstressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed
and dreams of making a new start.
If you feel this way frequently, you may beexperiencing the symptoms of a debilitatingbut treatable illness.
DON’T SUFFER!The time to seek help is NOW.
Careers have been ruined, familiesdestroyed and lives lost because attorneysand judges believe they can or must deal withthese problems on their own.
Alcoholism, depression, stress, anxiety andsubstance abuse are medical conditions whichrespond to effective and proven treatments.These disabling illnesses not characterflaws, weakness or lack of willpower eventhough we mistakenly identify them that way.
Emotional problems and addiction donot discriminate. Lawyers from large firms aswell as solo practitioners struggle with theseillnesses. Without help, attorneys will lose theirlicenses and possibly their lives. With help,good health and careers can be restored.
