While I’m not ready to go public I can assure you the process works. I’ve sought treatment for over a year and none of my brass knows at least not that I can tell. I haven’t been messed with, kept from working schools or OT, or anything negative. Mine was just an accumulation of events that just piled on and lead me to seek help. Don’t mess up your career or your family by self medicating or destructive behavior. Get the help and carry on.
