Katchie, I was horrified when I found my XAH driving my daughters around while intoxicated. I feel your pain and disbelief, especially knowing that he knew better.

That's what I mean by understanding the compulsion that comes with alcoholism. All logic, good reason, and intelligence goes out the window when that first drink hits the bloodstream. For you and me - we are blown away by the choices they make. For them, at the time it makes perfect sense. Factor in serious denial of just how big the problem actually is, and you have the making of a perfect storm of bad choices.

Addictions are cunning and baffling.
