The below stories are taken from the New York State Lawyer Assistance Trust publication, "Attorney Recovery Stories". The stories were written by lawyers who are in recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse or dependence or depression. The stories were compiled with the anticipation that others may benefit from reading them. We hope you are among those who do.

OLAP would like to extend a special thanks to the individuals who shared their stories and to the staff and volunteers of the lawyer assistance effort in New York State.
