When he admitted to drinking after work, and I asked him if it was much, his response to me was, "not that much". This is why I'm trying to give the guy a chance in my mind until I learn more.
As an RA (recovering alcoholic) and an ACA (adult child of an alcoholic) i can say in my experience "not that much" is probably quite a lot.
His idea of "not that much" and yours are probably miles apart.
Have you ever watched "Cops"?
the officer asks an obviously inebriated driver,
"have you been drinking tonight?"
the person who a few minutes ago fell down walking a straight line will say,
"i only had a couple beers."
so, not that much.
a clinical psychologist? wow, i admire your drive. amazing, and best wishes for you.
