It makes it hard for me to understand, too. My aunt runs a rehab center and I've read a considerable amount about alcoholism. I even went to a group-style meeting with him once, and I couldn't relate to what everyone else was dealing with, either. My husband manages to keep a job and go months, sometimes a year, without drinking. It's really confusing.
