Have heard of a lot of police who use or abuse alcohol and I'm pretty sure they're trying to relieve their job stress...? If I'm not mistaken, it seems police in the special police project in the past have identified themselves as alcoholics? When my then husband-to-be joined the project, it's likely many police were able to relate to him somewhat because of his drinking problem--even though he was sober at the time. Maybe they hoped and expected that he'd stay sober? I assume he gave up on the police project a little while after I left him, and I heard something to that effect. At least he helped for a time--for quite a while. And I had his stories that encouraged me.
There's an old movie [was it Casablanca, 1942?] where they said, "A drunk is a citizen of the world." A lot of people everywhere can relate to alcoholism in some way.
