Hi.
I'm looking for a movie (or part of a series - not so sure anymore) where a character turned into an alcoholic. Yet this transition seemed unrealistic (to me) because he would never started drinking out of control.

It all seemed forced the writers/studio.

I remember parts of that (sub)plot:

- character succesful at his job
- starts taking a drink
- drinks more and more over time
- recovers later on.

Some revelations:

- his boss/superior shows him his 20+ years AA badge
- turns out a colleague always placed drinks near the character - out of revenge

I hope you guys can help  :)

Do you have a rough idea of when it came out? Or at least when you saw it?

I don't remember when it was made (19xx-2010?), but I saw it about 5-6 years ago. And it was in color (iirc - 95%)

I remember the character a bit more vaguely.

- his life was kinda structured (no bending the rules)
- not a mean fellow
- usually neat

Do you have any idea of what job the protagonist had? Did he have any family?

What the heck, Moe, I was just thinking about and reading up on that a couple hours ago, completely unrelated.

I just remember that it was a job at an office. But I can't say if he was a lawyer/journalist/broker/pr-manager.

I thinkthe villainous colleague was female, but not sure.

Can't recall any family mentions, but it's possible.

Having an actor or at least a rough time period where it was set would definitely help, as there are a lot of movies that are "close" to what you're saying but not quite right.
