You may find, as I did, that added job responsibilities do not co-exist well with ongoing alcoholic excess. Of course, at the time, my AV told me that I was just coping with the job stress, and that when the work stress lessened, I would finally be ready to cut back. I was a very slow learner, though, fully in the grip of my Addictive Voice.
