Denial is a powerful thing. My exah has lost his wife (me), his house, only sees his son two days a week, has been written up at work for drunk dialing his boss and he was sent for drug and alcohol testing on the job last week because he reeked of alcohol (he passed somehow). He was shocked and offended that that anyone could possibly think he, Mr. Perfect, could be under the influence! I could go on and on describing the ways that alcoholism has adversely affected his (and our) lives. In his mind everyone else is the problem, he is just a "normal guy" who "likes to have a few beers".
