This week’s guest, David, is a medical professional who at one point in time had his practice suspended due to his substance use. Growing up, he always thought being a man meant having a nice house, a good job, and a drink in his hand. He talks about the social pressures of drinking and how it made him feel more accepted by his peers at school, as well as his family. David is currently a Medical Director at Twin Cities-based behavioral health organization and has been sober since April 9, 2018.
