If I had a substance abuse problem, the State Bar would be quite supportive of me. They have excellent programs, such as The Other Bar, to help lawyers kick drugs and alcohol.
But nonetheless, if substance abuse problems caused me to screw up several cases and harm clients, I might still get suspended or even disqualified from practicing law.
You are personalizing this. It isn't a matter of how nice a guy Pat is or what his circumstances are. He happened to choose to work in a profession where animals and betting are involved and there is supposed to be zero tolerance of substance abuse. It is not the only such profession. Would you be making these arguments about an airline pilot with a drug problem?
