My husband was also a functional alcoholic for many years. In the past year or so, that has all changed. He finally was fired from a very lucrative sales job and has gone down hill very, very fast. It is absolutely chilling for me to even think about all that has happened since he lost his job at the end of February - and that was less than 2 months ago! Alcoholism is a progressive disease. The consequences are just terrifying, and sad. It's just sad to watch someone spiral out of control who will not take the steps necessary to recover and regain control of their life.
