Shelly was recognized at work as a very conservative individual who had an exceptional work record. She in no way went to any of the happy hours following work and it was well-known throughout the department that she was an extremely spiritual individual who generally talked about the dangers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism in our country.
Try to think of the shock within the workplace when one Monday morning Shelly did not show up for work and not a soul had heard from her. In truth, it wasn’t until approximately 10:15 in the morning that the human resources department received a phone call about Shelly from the city jail.
Shelly Goes Out Drinking Along With a Several of Her College Pals
Seemingly, Shelly went out drinking together with a handful of her university dorm mates Saturday night and at some point about 3:00 Sunday morning, Shelly was arrested for a DWI. Due to the fact that her blood alcohol content level (BAC) was particularly high, she was required to spend two days in the county jail.
Shelly Has a Talk With Her Manager and The Human Resources Manager
When Shelly arrived at work on Tuesday morning, she immediately told her manager what had transpired and she asked if she could possibly go and talk to the Human Resources director about her “drunk driving” arrest.
When she got to the Human Resources department and met with the director, she described that she had not been intoxicated since her university days and that she was extremely humiliated about her “drunk driving” arrest. She also stressed the point that she wanted some help selecting a professional and productive “driving under the influence” attorney who would represent her DWI case. In other words, Shelly really wanted the Human Resources director to agree that she needed to see a DUI attorney.
The Human Resources director told Shelly that she ought to see somebody within the company employee’s assistance program to go over any potential drinking problem that she might have. The HR manager also stated that she needs to explain her desire to employ a DWI attorney to represent her regarding her DWI case.
Not only this but the Human Resources director told Shelly that it was really positive that she wanted to hire a DUI lawyer mainly because of the difficulties and severe outcomes that are linked to a DUI conviction.
The Human Resources director could tell that Shelly was plainly displeased and embarrassed by this overall situation. For this reason he informed Shelly that while he doesn’t think that conscientious people should ever get behind the wheel right after drinking, regrettably these predicaments at times take place to exceptionally good people.
The Human Resources manager then said that since such a state of affairs cannot be undone, what’s essential is what the particular person does from this moment in time forward. As acknowledged by the Human Resources director, “does the individual learn from her or his mistakes or does the person develop a pattern of alcohol related difficulties that cause the person chronic suffering and pain”?
Fortunately, Shelly Did Not Have a History of Hazardous and Heavy Drinking
Just before completing their conversation, the Human Resources director told Shelly that it was very positive that she doesn’t have a history of hazardous drinking drinking. Not only this but she hasn’t had an alcohol-related situation since her college days (which was around 6 years ago). As a consequence, Shelly ought to be in a position to confront her DUI arrest with sorrow but also with a degree of self-confidence knowing that she will confront and process this obstacle and turn out to be a better person down the road.
Shelly thanked the Human Resources director for his practical and encouraging words and then walked over to the company employee’s assistance program go over her “driving under the influence” arrest, her participation in hazardous and careless drinking drinking over the past weekend, and her aspiration to retain a “drunk driving” lawyer to represent her DWI case.
After reflecting on Shelly’s “story,” the therapist that was part of the company employee’s assistance program explained Shelly’s immediate “action plan” that she needed to address and follow. First, she would be required to take a DUI class to learn more DUI facts and information. Second, she would also be required to take an alcohol abuse class to address her possible problem drinking. And finally, it would be an especially wise thing to do if she were to consult with a DUI lawyer about her “driving under the influence” arrest.
Shelly Feels Comfort Knowing That She Will Learn From Her Oversight and Turn Out To Be Even More Responsible
It was very clear that Shelly was incredibly distressed with the whole “driving while intoxicated” situation, but right after talking to the Human Resources director and to the therapist in the company employee’s assistance program, she felt comfort knowing that she would in fact learn from her blunder and become even more healthy, even more responsible, and an even more grateful woman.
