April 9, 2024 – This month is dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of alcohol use and misuse. It also offers communities a chance to gain more understanding of how individuals struggle with alcohol use, as well as offering resources and support. “I’m a recovering physician. I’ve been through alcohol and addiction in the past as a younger man. I’ve been sober now for over 20 years. And so, I know how greatly impacting addiction can be, not only in the individual, but also in their family and their community, in many cases, depending on where they stand in their community. So, it’s very near and dear to my heart.”
