It’s utterly saddening and infuriating that people often resort to drugs and/or alcohol to numb themselves because of work. Additionally, addiction because of the workplace is quite normalized (E.g., posts and comments r/KitchenConfidential). The trend of people abusing substances to deal with their problems stemming from work utterly wrenches my stomach. Let’s not victim-blame here, either. But something must be done. Work is hell.
