If your an alcoholic, you may not have any affairs left to conduct if not go to rehab. Look, I get it. I am a lawyer and have a very busy schedule. Been there and left for same reason and ended up almost losing my wife, almost got arrested and almost lost job on the very next relapse.
Funny how an alcoholic mind can convince us that all of these other things are more important than our lives.
If you ain't ready, you ain't ready. If you are truly defeated and ready to surrender, taking a short break for rehab to save your life should be a no brainer.
