How Jobs Shape Our Mental Health: Insights from Sideways Podcast's 'Big Jobs'
When you've reached that point with your addiction, when you've gone into recovery, you probably tie up a significant amount of your identity as a person with the work that you do, because your identity as an individual, without any of the roles you play, is probably, at that stage, pretty non-existent.
