The Adverse Effects of Excessive Work and Abusive and Hazardous Drinking and The Motivation For Alcohol Detoxification And Alcohol Therapy
Work was starting to be too hectic for a young police officer named Gary. Although he had only been on the police force for two-and-a-half years, he was already known as a hard worker who rarely turned down working overtime. As a matter of fact, he was now working twenty to twenty-five hours of overtime each week and, as a result, he felt like he was losing his handle on his personal life. What made the situation more complicated, however, was the fact that Gary started going out drinking with a gang of fellow officers after work.
What Began as a Good Time Soon Turned Into Hazardous and Irresponsible Drinking
What began as fun soon turned into careless and hazardous drinking and then into a negative cycle of feeling tired every morning when he got up for work, working more long hours, and then going drinking with his buddies after work.
Noticeably Gary was in a health related and psychological rut and going through some adverse alcohol effects on the body. Where Gary really observed alcohol related problems and alcohol short term effects, on the other hand, was in his family life and in his marriage. His wife wasn’t really a nag, but she regularly encouraged him to stay at home more with her and with the kids instead of going out and wasting money while drinking with his buddies.
Gary’s Careless Drinking Negatively Affects His Personality
In a similar manner, Gary’s irresponsible and excessive drinking also adversely affected his personality. More precisely, the more abusively he drank, the less patience he had with any difficulties or issues that arose regarding his children or his wife.
It Was Apparent to Gary That His Hazardous and Abusive Drinking Was Adversely Affecting His Relationship With His Family, Work, Pocketbook, and His Health
In his heart of hearts, it was clear to Gary that his irresponsible and careless drinking was adversely affecting his pocketbook, health, work, and his relationship with his family. So one Tuesday morning Gary made up his mind to talk to Jerry, a trusted old police officer buddy that he greatly admired.
Gary told Jerry how irresponsible and careless drinking was negatively affecting his pocketbook, relationship with his family, work, and his health. Jerry mentioned to Gary that he really understood because roughly fourteen years ago, he too got involved in careless and irresponsible drinking. In fact, Jerry told Gary that careless and excessive drinking can create so many problems in a person’s life that virtually everything of importance can be destroyed. And lastly, Jerry suggested that Gary make an appointment with an alcohol psychologist at the work-affiliated alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation facility.
Since his employee’s assistance program was affiliated with this treatment clinic, it was not only very affordable but also quite convenient to seek rehab about his careless and hazardous drinking. And since the personnel at the chemical dependency rehab clinic was supportive, non-judgmental, and competent, Gary would be able to get alcohol treatment that made sense to him and something he could follow through on.
After Alcohol Detoxification and Alcohol Treatment Gary Was Eventually Able To Quit Drinking and Stop Working Overtime
After talking to his counselor about how his drinking was ruining his work, health, relationship with his family, and his pocketbook, Gary understood that he was burning the candle at both ends with his crazy work hours and his abusive and careless drinking. Once he realized that he was digging himself into a rut, after detoxification and with the help of his doctor, and after four months in therapy, he was at last able to quit drinking and stop working overtime.
Due to His Alcohol Rehabilitation Gary Felt Better and More Healthy
The result was that Gary viewed life differently now that he was in alcohol recovery. Stated briefly, due to his alcohol rehabilitation he not only was more patient when interacting with his wife and his children, but he actually had more money now even though he was working far fewer hours each week, he had more quality time to spend with his family, and he felt better and more healthy. Paradoxically, now that he quit drinking, Gary and his wife were not only beginning to save some money for a different house but he also felt more energized and alert than anytime since he and his wife were married.

A Teen Manifests a Positive Attitude and Questions Her Drinking Classmates To Find Out More About Alcohol Addiction and Alcohol Abuse
Diane drank to an excess on a regular basis with her friends. One Monday after all of her classes were finished, she began thinking about the amount of alcohol she consumed and the abusive and irresponsible drinking of her drinking pals. As a consequence of this, she courteously asked all of her drinking pals the following question: “what do we really know about binge drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol poisoning, and alcoholism? Stated another way, how much alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse information do we really know? For our young age, we certainly drink in an abusive and excessive manner and I am starting to wonder if we are headed for a life filled with alcohol-related problems when we become adults.
I think we need to go on the web and find out all that is feasible about alcoholism, binge drinking, alcohol abuse, and alcohol poisoning. And then if we have any nagging issues that we can’t comprehend after we complete our web research, we can walk to the student health center at the college and ask Nurse Soltes to help us understand what we don’t know.â€
It Shouldn’t Come as a Big Surprise That What Diane Mentioned Would Start a Heated Discussion
It shouldn’t come as a big shock that what Diane discussed would trigger a heated discussion. For example, her best friend since the eighth grade, Leila, stated that they are too young and too healthy to be concerned about excessive and hazardous drinking. Another drinking pal named Jay rationalized that since most high school students drink there’s no commonsensical reason why they should be any different. Another friend named Kaylen stated that all she wants to do is to have fun drinking with her buddies. And still another friend named Alfredo actually agreed with Diane primarily because both of his parents abused alcohol and both of his parents had a history of alcohol related problems.
Diane revealed to her pals that she comprehended everything that they had said but that engaging in hazardous drinking at such a vulnerable age in reality can’t be very healthy or something that contributes toward developing a meaningful life. When two or three of her drinking pals asked what kind of alcohol issues Diane was talking about, Diane articulated the following: alcohol-related diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, heart disease, and cancer, and other alcohol-related problems like alcoholism, alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities, and alcohol poisoning (which can be fatal in some instances).
Irresponsible and Excessive Drinking Regularly Results in Drinking Problems
When Diane then stated that abusive and excessive drinking regularly results in relationship, legal, financial, and school problems, some of her drinking friends finally began to understand how far reaching and how debilitating irresponsible drinking can be. Indeed, some of her drinking friends became more “open†and started to disclose how these alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse effects had adversely affected their parents and some of their friends.
After under scoring some of the alcoholism and alcohol abuse problems that are related to unhealthy and excessive drinking, the vast majority of her drinking friends liked the idea about getting information online. They were, however, cautious about discussing their drinking situations with staff at school. As Diane heard this she thought to herself, “at least they want to learn more about their unhealthy drinking. This is a fantastic start.â€

An Alcohol Dependent Individual Registers For Rehab, Receives Alcohol Detox and Treatment for His Alcoholism and His Depression, and Starts to Live in a More Healthy Manner
Barry used to boast to his drinking friends how he could remain employed at a challenging and fulltime job and get drunk as a skunk almost every night. Unfortunately, after continuing this unhealthy lifestyle for nearly two-and-a-half years, he started to notice a variety of alcohol related issues.
Barry Starts to Exhibit Various Alcohol Related Issues
As an example, he had a hard time getting up for work because he felt so exhausted when he awoke. Furthermore, almost every morning Barry suffered from a horrible hangover. It was apparent that the combination of his hangovers and his lack of energy did not make it easy for him to get up and feel like he wanted to go to work. To make things worse, he just got his third driving under the influence arrest in the past eleven weeks.
To further compound things, at his job his last two performance appraisals were less than tolerable. And lastly, his three-year relationship with his girlfriend had deteriorated due to his depression, financial difficulties, lack of patience, and his angry outbursts.
Though Barry was only twenty-three years old, he simply started looking like he was in his early forties. Unfortunately, this is what excessive and hazardous drinking can do to an individual. And in truth he comprehended that he was experiencing the negative consequences of alcohol abuse or alcohol dependency and that he was too young to throw away his life to hazardous and careless drinking. So initially he tried to drink responsibly and in moderation. Regrettably, he soon understood that he lost his self control after consuming his first drink. Stated somewhat more forcefully, after his first drink he invariably proceeded to get smashed. Due to the fact that this was a circumstance that was repeated over and over again, this distressed him greatly. In truth, he began to wonder if he was manifesting some of the signs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse.
Barry Makes up His Mind To Schedule an Appointment to See His Healthcare Professional
After mentioning his excessive alcohol drinking and his abusive and hazardous drinking with his girlfriend, he eventually made up his mind to schedule an appointment to see his family doctor. When Barry saw his family doctor, he frankly declared that he has been abusing alcohol, that he may be displaying alcoholic signs, and that he wants to quit drinking. He then confirmed that drinking in moderation doesn’t work well for him and, as a result, he wants to learn how he can live without drinking alcohol.
Barry also told his family doctor about his depression and how this mental health problem was adversely affecting his relationship with his lady friend. His healthcare practitioner referred Barry to Doctor Hall, an alcohol and drug addiction specialist, who inspired Barry to register in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as an in-patient for alcohol detox and alcohol rehabilitation. The good news is that Barry would also be able to get medical attention for his depression at this treatment facility.
Getting and Staying Sober Was the Best Decision Barry Had Ever Made
After five months of rigorous rehabilitation, Barry left the residential treatment facility and continued his recovery via outpatient therapy and via going to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Inspired to change his life in a healthier way, Barry bought some vitamins at a health store and a cookbook. He then joined a fitness center and began working out two or three times per week. Within nine months Barry was a new person. He wasn’t depressed anymore, he was in shape, he was eating nutritious meals, he now looked younger than he was, and most significant of all, he remained sober for several months. He also didn’t resort to angry outbursts, he became more patient, and he became a more compassionate person in his relationship with his girlfriend. Stated briefly, refraining from drinking was the best decision Barry had ever made.

A Purchasing Agent Drinks Excessively, Gets Inspired to Get Treatment for Depression and Alcoholism, and Turns His Life Around
Stanley began drinking excessively when he was a junior in high school. From a positive way of looking at things, although he drank abusively when he was a teen and a young adult, when he got beyond the age of thirty he almost always drank in moderation.
After he completed his education he eventually found employment at a local water treatment facility where he worked his way up from stock person, to office assistant, to purchasing assistant, to purchasing agent. Unlike his other work positions, as the purchasing agent he constantly took existing vendors and potential vendors to lunch and to a variety of sporting events.
Though it was not written in concrete, meeting with potential vendors and existing vendors time after time involved circumstances in which alcohol was present. In truth, over the past fourteen months, Stanley had begun to considerably increase his social and his work-related drinking. This has led to a predicament. That is to say, the more successful he became as a purchasing agent, the more heavily he began to drink.
His Increasing Feelings of Depression Also Made Him Question if He Was Becoming an Alcohol Addicted Person
In fact, it didn’t take much time at all before Stanley’s excessive and careless drinking started to adversely affect his mental health, the money in his savings account, his health, his relationships, and his work efficiency. After many weeks of heavy drinking, Stanley, in actual fact, started to get worried about his abusive and careless drinking and questioned whether his alcohol related issues were alcoholism signs. What is more, his increasing feelings of depression also made him wonder whether he was becoming addicted to alcohol. In short, Stanley obviously needed to learn more about the facts about alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency.
Stanley Needs Alcohol Detoxification and Alcohol Rehabilitation For His Alcoholism and a Medical Evaluation Regarding His Depression
So Stanley used his common sense, called his physician, and set up an appointment for a complete physical exam. A week later after seeing his physician, Stanley unfortunately found out that he was addicted to alcohol. His healthcare professional told Stanley that he needed to get alcohol detox and alcohol rehabilitation for his alcohol dependency and that he also needed to get a medical assessment regarding his depression. In a word, Stanley needed treatment for his alcoholism and depression.
Fortunately After His Treatment For Depression and For Alcohol dependency, He Felt Like a New Person
His doctor recommended to Stanley that he request a 30 day leave of absence from work and get registered into a quality in-patient alcohol treatment facility where his depression could also be assessed and treated. This is specifically what Stanley did. The positive news is that after his treatment for alcoholism and for depression, he felt like a new person. Indeed, now that he was in recovery he hardly ever got depressed and he now understood how to more successfully and productively manage his relationships, his finances, his health, and his job.
Not unexpectedly, the biggest “test†Stanley came across was at work. Simply put, he still took potential vendors and his existing vendors to lunch and to various sporting events, but after his alcohol rehab he managed to stay away from drinking while entertaining his clients.
It can be emphasized that Stanley also discovered that none of his existing vendors or potential vendors thought any less of him because of his non-alcoholic lifestyle. To the contrary, he discovered that his potential vendors and existing vendors thought even more highly of him for staying true to his convictions.
After Stanley went through alcohol treatment, however, he found out that he was an individual who for whatever reason, could not drink in moderation or drink responsibly. In point of fact he found out the hard way that if he said "no" to drinking, all of the other meaningful parts of his life would be upgraded. At times, Stanley missed drinking, but the better health, finances, work performance, and the better relationships he experienced more than offset his love of drinking.
