Fire Fighter’s Comeback From Alcohol Addiction
Fire fighter, Jeff Mack, 43, has battled alcohol addiction and is a dedicated worker today. By telling from his own life experiences he is on a mission to promote awareness amongst firefighters, on the ills of alcohol addiction.
Speaking to firefighters, during his presentation, called, "Saving Our Own", on Monday, at the 97th conference, of the Fire Chiefs Association, being held at Fredericton Inn, in Fredericton, he shared with them about his own drinking bouts and how he recovered from alcohol addiction.
His mission, he said, was to prevent, another Jeff Mack from becoming a victim of alcohol addiction. By educating and informing his fellow fire fighters, about the causes and means of alcohol addiction, Mack was guiding them on how to treat the disorder, through timely recognition and rehabilitation.
Narrating his own experience, he says how a television show, and a show down with his family, made him realize that rehabilitation was the answer and he spent 4 months in counseling, before he recovered. A model employee indeed!
