Washington Lawyer - January/February 2019 - 21

STORIES OF
RECOVERY
& RESILIENCE
Compiled by Jeffery Leon

L

awyers often are perceived as
strong, powerful, tough, and successful,
contributing to the stigma associated
with asking for help when they are buckling
under pressure physically, mentally, and
emotionally. Here, three D.C. Bar members
share their struggles with substance use
disorder, depression, and stress; their journey
to wellness; and why they believe seeking
help is the hardest but most courageous
decision attorneys going through the same
struggle will make in their lives.
