This is the draw back. All the draw backs. Working in, and being a restaurant worker can eat you alive. Stress, long hours, drug and alcohol abuse, being away from family are all consequences of the job. I personally accept these things, because that is the price. Cooks and Chefs are sound warriors. The battle and how every individual deals with it is different. Make no mistake when I say battle or war, because that is what foodservice is. You find a way to deal with the shell-shock or you get the hell out. No one lives forever, but glory and pride do.
