The Traveling Ballerina 42 Posted January 7 A colleague of mine, Eugene C Barnes III, has decided to share a part of his journey related to substance abuse caused by pressures in the ballet world. This is a very serious topic and I applaud is courage; perhaps someone out there needs to hear his words to know s/he is not alone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen 691 Posted January 8 This is a very interesting read and I hope Eugene continues to feel content and on top of his life without the need to return to drugs and alcohol. I do think that sadly, it is an issue which rears its ugly head across many disciplines and professions and is a reflection of the life pressures and societal expectations of today. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
