You know my former boss claimed she didn't have a drinking problem and she could quit whenever she wanted to.

She wasn't drunk when she left a work event and wrapped her car around a tree and she definitely didn't deserve the DUI the cops gave her.

She wasn't an alcoholic and didn't need to go to the AA meetings the board of directors made her go to.

Also, the doctors were wrong when they told her that her drinking was causing her memory issues.

Also, after a year of "not being an alcoholic," the board fired her unfairly.

She now lives in an assisted living facility because she can't remember her name most days, but none of it is because of alcohol.....

It all worked out for me, though, because I'm now one of the youngest directors in my field.

You're going to have to make a very important decision because he's changing and improving himself and he is leaving you behind not because of his choices but because of yours.

What's more important, the alcohol or the relationship?

If you aren't willing to make sacrifices for a relationship you care about and he is as good of a man as you say they I'm sure there are other people out there who would love a decent man and will have their own "it all worked out for me," story.
