This is one of those type of stories. I kinda stumbled into it and I'm glad I did.
This was a story on the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers website.
Jay Fraiser runs the Boston Local 103 recovery and sobriety group. He meets with fellow union members to help them stabilize on their recovery journey.
I don't know anything about being an electrician. I do know about being knocked to the floor due to anxiety symptoms. It was a long time ago but it did put me on my road to treatment. I don't recommend experiencing it but it is a wake up call to do something to help yourself.
I encourage you to read the story.
