SESSION DESCRIPTIONS:
May 29: Brett’s Story: Lived Experience
Brett, project manager, licensed plumber, and person in recovery from alcohol addiction will share some of his stories related to mental health challenges, his addiction and how he now supports those as a leader in his industry and in recovery.
“I’ve learned that most people with abuse problems, believe it or not, are just broken. They are some of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. I learned a lot about myself and how I was a broken person. I now think that alcohol wasn’t so much the problem for me when I was drinking as it was more of a medicine for me. It was my fix all. Someone died? Drink. Someone was born? Drink. Happy? Drink. Sad? Drink. Work is great? Drink. Work sucks? Drink. Funny enough, I knew I had a problem for years and I was ashamed of it.”
Brett will also discuss the value of working for a company that supports their employees.
