Whose Job Is It?

One would hope that someone would challenge the person but having said this, people who are there may not even know the person has a problem with alcohol.
These people who manage the centre and are senior leaders are not trained in spotting the hints that show someone has a problem.
I do know when I was doing ILP (the introductions leaders programme) one of the other people had a problem with drugs and after meeting with the manager and the head coach and the leader he withdrew from the programme but I would have never guessed he had a problem, I had known him for close on eight months by this point and he was in the centre four or five times a week as was I.
to be honest it would suprise me if the ILP was the reason anyone had a drinking problem, I know I was drinking alot when I did it. you go for drinks after assisting, you go for drinks after classes. I would estimate that i was out drinking 4 to 5 times a week and drinking more then I should each time.
