Yeah, it sounds like a big excuse, but he was a chef in a fine dining restaurant and was expected to cook with, serve, and be around wine and hard liquor on an hourly basis. Quitting this job was a must.
I've heard that folks in the restaurant industry have a hard time getting clean because of the culture of drugs and alcohol that (often) runs rampant. I've also heard it said that people get attached to these kinds of jobs because the drinking/drugging culture just so happens to fit their drinking/drugging lifestyle, so hey.
