In this episode, we feature Briggs Cheney, a well-known figure in the New Mexico and national legal community and often remembered for his inspiring addresses at Swearing-In Ceremonies – the Drunk Lawyer Diddy. Briggs recreates his impactful story, delivering it as if he were addressing the ceremony live. His narrative, celebrated within the legal profession, candidly explores the challenges of substance use and the importance of recovery and well-being in being a thriving and successful lawyer. Recognizing the profound relevance of his message, the New Mexico Well-Being Committee sought to preserve this powerful address to inspire and support current and future members of the legal community.
