First of all congratulations on 22 years of sobirety!  Awesome!

I do think that if Monica is alcoholic that this route is not so far
fetched.  If she is alcoholic, she would drink without thinking of
consequences or what happened with her boys.  I agree someone would
smell it and I am sure that eventually she is going to get caught.  It
will be a good storyline if thewriters keep it real. I like the way
they have handled Allen and Skyes alcoholism and their recovery.
