I'm sorry to hear about your personal stories of family members battles with alcoholism, Nicole.
I don't think alcholics can "just stop drinking" unless they're truly tough enough to do it and have a lot to gain by doing it. I think it's ok if they accept what they have and drink in cycles.
Tyler Baze needs to do what Tyler Baze wants to do. If that's to run from the pressure of being a jockey and drink -- it's his life and that is what makes him happy. When he gets to the point where he accepts that he will be happier as a jockey -- he has a comeback attempt to motivate him.
Sorry if my opinion seems or is ignorant.
