They are some of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. I learned a lot about myself and how I was a broken person. I now think that alcohol wasn’t so much the problem for me when I was drinking as it was more of a medicine for me. It was my fix all. Someone died? Drink. Someone was born? Drink. Happy? Drink. Sad? Drink. Work is great? Drink. Work sucks? Drink. Funny enough\, I knew I had a problem for years and I was ashamed of it.” \nBrett will also discuss the value of working for a company that supports their employees.
