There was a cop in rehab, great guy. It worked for him.

There is a cop who is sober who works as a conduit to get police in crisis into rehab or some sort of treatment, and going to meetings. There is a huge stigma here in Southern California towards cops with substance issues, so it's hard to find help. Also I don't need to tell you how stressful the job is most of the time, and how difficult marriage and relationships can be.

Glad you're reaching out. Nobody can do it alone, and if OZ is anything like it is here, it can be very isolating for police and emergency responders, particularly in recovery.

Life is so much better without alcohol and/or drugs. Hope you find your way there.
