His demons, which date to his childhood, controlled him through failed marriages and stays in a psychiatric facility, until they brought him to the brink of suicide. That was his wake-up call. This is his story.Brian also takes an in-depth look at why there is such a high percentage of problematic alcohol use and other mental health issues in the legal profession.
