OK, so let me ask you this:
What would you do if you got a DUI?
I know it's a strange question -- because most of us who are NOT alcoholics would never dream of getting behind the wheel drunk.
But consider it.
If I got a DUI, I would be mortified. I would quit drinking forever the next day. But I'm not an alcoholic.
I know what AXH would have done. He would have blamed someone (the bartender should have cut him off, I should have picked him up, the cop had something against him personally) and then he would have acted like a victim, kept drinking, and kept feeling sorry for himself.
Depression is a serious issue. One that should not be treated with alcohol. Feeling sorry for yourself for getting a DUI is not depression. That's professional victimhood.
