YES! yes. yes. This was, unfortunately, my path. Hard work, visible success, interesting positions - and being left alone at night (esp. on Friday/Saturday) to drink as much as I wanted without question. Eventually, it became more - my entire schedule revolved around when I could have my next drink - when I could have time alone to drink. It became a disaster - all the more shocking to some who knew me b/c everything seemed fine - very fine - on the outside.
