...his job didn't trigger him. he's an alcoholic. alcoholism triggers him. when they blame it on work, spouses, stress, elections, holidays, failures, successes, friends, and 1,000,000 other reasons it's complete ********.
they drink because they are alcoholics. there is no other reason. they drink because they are alcoholics.
take care and good luck. al-anon saved my life. please give it a chance for you and your baby.

Thank you again to everyone for being so welcoming. It's encouraging to see such a long-lived, active community online that is still so supportive and kind. It must take some serious moderation.
