If I used to be an alcoholic but I'm not one now, does that mean I'm no longer disabled?

You still are, you just don't drink any more.
But the underlying condition is still present, so you would still be considered disabled.

Its always been a disability and people get SSI disability pay for being an alcoholic. I deal in finance and you wouldn't believe the checks the GOV. are handing out for certain disabilities.

Dont tell but Im gonna make it part of MY retirement  ;D

This lights the fuse on my tampon on two seperate issues:

1)  REQUIRING that this company put a potentially drunk driver behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler (What could POSSIBLY go wrong there?)

2)  I couldn't get SS Disability for shit that can (and probably one day will) kill me.  But if I were an alcoholic (or, as they stated to me during my case, depressed) I'd have been approved the first time around?  

Scuse me for asking, but..........................................

Exactly right.
