1 . my ex alcoholic boyfriend was a functional alcoholic, if you can call it that. he made sure he was at work and held a job so that the could use. infact he had two jobs to support his alcohol and cocaine habit. he was even a functional boyfriend. who knows if thats because he cared or if thats because he needed the stability or whatever else i provided.
2. it increases, it decreases, its up and down and around. its an emotional rollercoaster.
