Emily was a thirty-one-year-old bookkeeper who was sick of feeling depressed everyday of her life and fed up with her careless and abusive drinking behavior. Simply put, she hated the hangovers she went through on a regular basis, she was mad at herself for spending her hard-earned money on a worthless habit, she was tired of going through shattered relationship after shattered relationship due to her irresponsible drinking, she was sick of feeling weary every morning, and she missed her old drive for doing the things she enjoyed.
As well as the observable alcohol-related health difficulties she now experienced, conceivably the unhealthiest part of her drinking routine was the undependable and dishonest individual she had turned into. In her heart she realized that she had been less than truthful about her drinking activities with relatives, friends, and family and she also knew she had been less than truthful with herself about the "healthy" effects of drinking. What is more, she rationalized gulping four or five drinks before going to social events and she also justified needing three or four drinks the very first thing in the morning so that she could cope with the "anxiety" at work. In brief, Emily got to a pivotal time in her life when she understood that she hit rock bottom and was now prepared to commence the slow path that leads to recovery.
One of the ways that Emily operationalized her "plan" was by requesting a transfer at her place of employment. When her request was approved by top management, she moved 700 miles away to a different location. If nothing else, this beyond question made making new pals and separating herself from her old friends much easier. Then she went to see a healthcare practitioner in her new residence and made an appointment for a thorough physical and psychological exam.
After meeting with the healthcare professional and going through numerous lab tests, it became painfully clear that Emily had made the unfortunate change from alcohol abuse to alcoholism and therefore, was in need of alcohol detox and alcohol rehab. At this stressful time, the healthcare practitioner made it a point to go over the diverse alcoholic symptoms and the usual symptoms of alcoholism. In addition to spending a lot of time focusing on Emily's alcoholism symptoms, her doctor also told Emily that her psychological evaluation revealed that she was clinically depressed and in need of therapy for this medical issue.
Due to her willingness to follow through with the rehabilitation protocol, after eight weeks of residential rehab, Emily was ready to begin counseling on an outpatient basis. At this point, she began working at her new job and over the weeks began revitalizing her body by drinking distilled water, eating nutritious foods, taking vitamins and minerals, working out, and living an alcohol-free lifestyle.
After roughly thirteen weeks of outpatient therapy during which time she never went through a relapse, Emily stopped going to alcohol rehabilitation and instead started going five times every week to local AA meetings. Attending these meetings helped Emily follow through with her alcohol-free lifestyle, they gave her the support she needed, and they served as a faithful reminder of the negative results that are related to unhealthy and abusive drinking. Compared with her life less than a year ago, life was now rewarding and full of promise that she could have never hoped for or brought to fruition while she was involved in excessive and careless drinking behavior.
