[00:00:00] Speaker 1: It is very scary. I was very scared to get help because I didn't know how it would affect my career. And I thought it made me less of a lawyer, honestly. That's what I thought at the beginning. But the truth is, once I started truly committing to myself, to my sobriety, and to being a more authentic person, my career flourished. It really did. People could tell. The light came back in my eyes. I wasn't dragging myself around. I had nothing to be ashamed of anymore, which was the big thing.
