Recovery Stories

Jack L’s Story

Jack L’s Story

At the start of 2024, my whole world was crashing down. Not only was I in legal trouble that threatened my academic standing and ability to provide for my family, but I had to finally face the inevitable reality of being an alcoholic. I was terrified and felt like I was in some sort of nightmare when I first met with Virginia Judges & Lawyers Assistance Program. But they quickly offered me reassurance that I would not be alone, a specialized plan for my new journey in sober living, and numerous resources to help me heal. Their assistance not only has allowed me to amend my situation and damaged relationships, but VJLAP empowered me to connect with similar legal professionals who have shown me it is possible to recover from addiction and successfully practice the law. The structure, regular personal support, and friendships I have made through VJLAP are the only reason I am still in law school and back onto a promising path forward. I only wish that I had utilized their support when I first heard about them, and I cannot recommend them enough for others who are tired of fighting by themselves. It also doesn’t hurt the staff is genuinely fun to be around and engage with!
