			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Copyright &copy; 2012 <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog">avalon09</a>. Visit the original article at <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/441/a-young-man-drinks-excessively-gets-inspired-to-get-treatment-for-depression-and-alcoholism-and-experiences-enhanced-self-esteem-in-his-life/">http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/441/a-young-man-drinks-excessively-gets-inspired-to-get-treatment-for-depression-and-alcoholism-and-experiences-enhanced-self-esteem-in-his-life/</a>.<br /><p>Stanley began drinking heavily when he was a senior in high school. From a positive way of looking at things, although he drank hazardously and abusively when he was a teenager and a young adult, when he got beyond the age of twenty-five he almost always drank in moderation.</p>
<p>After he finished his education he eventually got a job at a local truck assembly plant where he worked his way up from stock person, to office assistant, to purchasing assistant, to purchasing manager. Unlike his other positions, as the purchasing manager he frequently took existing vendors and potential vendors to lunch and to a variety of sporting events.</p>
<p>Though it was not written in stone, meeting with potential vendors and existing vendors time after time  involved circumstances in which alcohol was present. Indeed, over the past sixteen months, Stanley had started to appreciably increase his work related and his social drinking. This has led to quite a quandary. More specifically, the more successful he became as a purchasing agent, the more heavily he began to drink.</p>
<p><strong>His Increasing Feelings of Depression Also Made Him Question if He Was Becoming an Alcoholic</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-441"></span></p>
<p>In fact, it didn’t take long at all before Stanley’s hazardous and irresponsible drinking started to negatively affect his health, his mental health, his work efficiency, the money in his savings account, and his relationships. After many weeks of excessive drinking, Stanley, if truth be told, started to be concerned about his abusive and unhealthy drinking and questioned whether his alcohol related problems were <a target="_blank" href="http://www.all-about-alcoholism.com/Alcoholism_Warning_Signs.html">alcoholism signs</a>. Moreover, his increasing bouts of depression also made him wonder if he was becoming an alcohol dependent person. In a word, Stanley clearly needed to learn more about the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcoholism-facts.com">facts about alcohol</a> abuse and alcohol addiction.</p>
<p><strong>Stanley Needs Alcohol Detoxification and Alcohol Treatment For His Alcohol Dependency and a Medical Evaluation Regarding His Depression</strong></p>
<p>So Stanley used his common sense, called his doctor, and made an appointment for a physical examination. A week later after seeing his healthcare practitioner, Stanley unfortunately was told that he was dependent on alcohol. His doctor told Stanley that he needed to get alcohol detoxification and alcohol rehabilitation for his alcoholism and that he also needed to get a medical evaluation regarding his depression. In a word, Stanley needed treatment for his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcoholism-info.com">alcoholism and depression</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Positive News is That After His Treatment For Depression and For Alcoholism, He Felt Like a New Individual</strong></p>
<p>His family doctor suggested to Stanley that he take a 30-day leave of absence from work and get enrolled in a quality in-patient alcohol rehab clinic where his depression could also be treated. This is specifically what Stanley did. The good news is that after his treatment for depression and for alcohol addiction, 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 job, his finances, and his health.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, the most challenging “test” Stanley ran into was at the office. More precisely, 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.</p>
<p>It can be stressed that Stanley also learned that none of his potential vendors or his existing vendors thought any less of him because of his abstinence. Instead, he learned that his potential vendors and existing vendors respected him for staying strong to his convictions.</p>
<p><strong>Stanley&#8217;s Better Health, Finances, Work Performance, and the Better Relationships He Experienced More Than counterbalanced His Love of Drinking</strong></p>
<p>After Stanley went through alcohol rehab, however, he discovered that he was an individual who for whatever reason, could not drink in moderation or drink responsibly. In fact he found out the hard way that if he stayed away from drinking, all of the other meaningful parts of his life would be upgraded. At times, Stanley missed drinking, but the better work performance, health, finances, and the better relationships he experienced more than compensated for his love of drinking.</p>

Regrettably, after engaging in this “party” lifestyle for about two-and-a-half years, he started to display numerous alcohol related issues.</p>
<p><strong>Barry Begins to Experience Various Alcohol Related Issues</strong></p>
<p>For instance, he had a real difficult time getting up for work because he felt so little energy when he got up. Moreover, just about every morning Barry had a nasty hangover. In a word, the combination of his lack of energy and his hangovers did not make it easy for him to get up and feel energized to go to work. To make things worse, around a week ago he received his second driving under the influence citation in the past two years.</p>
<p>To complicate things further, at his place of employment his last two work assessments were less than suitable. And finally, his six-and-a-half-year relationship with his girlfriend had declined due to his angry outbursts, lack of patience, financial difficulties, and his depression.</p>
<p><span id="more-429"></span></p>
<p>Though Barry was only twenty-three years old, he frankly began to look like he was in his early forties. Unfortunately, this is what irresponsible and excessive drinking can do to a person. And from a realistic perspective he grasped the fact that he was experiencing the adverse consequences of alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction and that he was too young to throw away his life to abusive and hazardous drinking. So initially he tried to drink in moderation. Regrettably, he soon comprehended the fact that he lost his self control after consuming his first drink. Stated more precisely, after his first drink he invariably proceeded to get intoxicated. Due to the fact that this was an event that was repeated every time he went to a bar to drink, this disturbed him greatly. In fact, he started to wonder if he was displaying some of the signs of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcoholism-facts.com/Signs_of_Alcoholism.html">alcoholism and alcohol abuse</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Barry Makes up His Mind To Schedule an Appointment to See His Physician</strong></p>
<p>After talking about his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-essentials.com">excessive alcohol</a> consumption and his careless and irresponsible drinking with his girlfriend, he eventually made up his mind to schedule an appointment to see his healthcare professional. When Barry saw his healthcare practitioner, he sincerely mentioned that he has been drinking in an excessive manner, that he may be manifesting <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-addiction-info.com">alcoholic signs</a>, and that he wants to stop drinking. He then said that drinking responsibly and in moderation doesn’t work well for him and, as a result, he wants to learn how he can live without drinking alcohol.</p>
<p>Barry also told his healthcare practitioner about his depression and how this mental health problem was negatively influencing his relationship with his girlfriend. His doctor referred Barry to Doctor Clark, an alcohol and drug addiction specialist, who persuaded Barry to enter into an alcohol and drug rehab clinic as an in-patient for alcohol detox and alcohol treatment. Fortunately, Barry would also be able to get medical treatment for his depression at this treatment facility.</p>
<p><strong>Abstaining From Drinking Was the Best Decision Barry Had Ever Made</strong></p>
<p>After five months of intensive rehab, Barry left the residential rehab facility and continued his recovery via outpatient therapy and via going to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Motivated to change his life in a healthier manner, Barry went to a health store and bought some vitamins and a cookbook. He then joined a fitness center and began working out three or four times per week. Within five months Barry was a new man. He wasn’t depressed anymore, he was in shape, he was eating nutritious meals, he now looked younger than he was, and most important of all, he maintained his sobriety for many months. He also didn’t resort to angry outbursts, he became more patient, and he became a more loving individual in his relationship with his lady friend. In brief, abstaining from drinking was the best decision Barry had ever made.</p>

Stated simply, he missed his old enthusiasm for doing various things he enjoyed, he was tired of going through broken relationship after broken relationship due to his constant drinking, he was sick of feeling tired every morning, he was mad at himself for spending his hard-earned money on a worthless habit, and he hated the hangovers he went through on a recurring basis.</p>
<p>Furthermore he was fed up with paying for alcohol-related lawyer fees, he hated the fact that he had to go to court for his second DWI, he was disgusted with how out-of-shape he was, he was irritated with the many times he failed an alcohol test at work, and he was bored with his drinking buddies.</p>
<p>Above and beyond the noticeable alcohol-related health problems he was experiencing, possibly the most damaging part of his drinking behavior was the undependable and scheming individual he had turned into. In his heart he realized that he had been less than truthful about his drinking behavior to his relatives, family, and friends and he also knew he had been untruthful with himself about the “positive” effects of drinking. Not only this but he made excuses for guzzling four or five drinks before going to social events and he also justified needing one or two drinks the first thing in the morning so that he could manage the &#8220;tension&#8221; at work.</p>
<p><strong>His Depression and His Hazardous and Heavy Drinking Result in Major Changes in His Life</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-190"></span></p>
<p>Clearly Samuel was sick of putting up with the adverse outcomes of his depression and his hazardous and abusive drinking and at long last made up his mind that something major had to change in his life. So he decided that he would abstain from drinking, start exercising, involve himself in some worthwhile hobbies, get professional counseling, start focusing on becoming a more healthy person, and develop a new circle of friends.</p>
<p>Simply put, Samuel got to a pivotal time in his life during which he realized that he hit rock bottom and was now ready to begin the gradual path that leads to recovery.</p>
<p>One of the ways that Samuel put his “plan” info operation was by asking for a transfer at his workplace. When his request was approved, he moved 650 miles away to a new city. If nothing else, this positively made making new friends and separating himself from his old buddies much simpler. Then he contacted a physician in his new city and made an appointment for a comprehensive exam.</p>
<p><strong>Samuel Meets With a Healthcare Practitioner About His Excessive and Irresponsible Drinking and His Depression</strong></p>
<p>After meeting with the healthcare professional and taking a number of laboratory tests, it was concluded that Samuel had made the transition from alcohol abuse to alcohol addiction and consequently was in need of alcohol rehab and alcohol detoxification. At this time, the healthcare practitioner made it a point to discuss the different <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcohol.com/Alcohol_Overdose.html">signs of alcoholism</a>, the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcohol.com/Alcohol_Withdrawal_Symptoms.html">symptoms of alcoholism</a>, and information about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-abuse-details.com/Alcohol_Info_-_Can_Alcohol_Affect_Me.html">long term alcohol effects</a> with Samuel.</p>
<p>The physician then told Samuel that it was determined that he was clinically depressed and in need of treatment for this medical problem.</p>
<p><strong>Samuel Decides to Fortify His Body by Living an Alcohol-Free Way of Life, Taking Vitamins, Going to the Gym, Drinking Distilled Water, and Eating Healthy Foods</strong></p>
<p>Due to his readiness to follow through with the rehabilitation therapy, after eleven weeks of inpatient treatment, Samuel was ready to begin rehabilitation on an outpatient basis. At this time, he began working at his new job and over the weeks began revitalizing his body by living an alcohol-free lifestyle, drinking spring water, eating nutritious foods, exercising, and taking vitamins.</p>
<p>Samuel also came to grips with his spiritual life by joining the local Calvinist church and attending regular services.</p>
<p>After around seven weeks of outpatient treatment during which time he never suffered through a relapse, Samuel stopped going to alcohol treatment and instead started going twice per week to local AA meetings. Going to these meetings helped Samuel maintain his alcohol-free style of life, they gave him the support he needed, and they served as a steady reminder of the dangerous consequences that are correlated with careless drinking.</p>
<p>After going to AA meetings roughly nine months Samuel felt that he was ready for a relationship and so he started dating Sally, a young lady he met at church. It clearly surprised Samuel how much more prepared he was for a dating relationship now that he had his unhealthy drinking under control. In truth it also astonished Samuel how much better life was now that he wasn’t under the control of his careless and abusive drinking. Life was now joyful and loaded with potential that he could have never wished for or realized when he was engaged in careless drinking just a few short months ago.</p>
<p><strong>A Success Story That is Evidence of the Relevance of Alcohol Rehabilitation and the Power of Positive Thinking</strong></p>
<p>Samuel’s success story is a verification of the significance of alcohol rehabilitation and the power of change. As Samuel thought about his newfound lofty self concept and drive for involving himself in worthwhile, healthy activities, he was actually thankful that he made up his mind to do something productive about his abusive and excessive drinking rather than giving into his depression and into the lure of his addiction. The result: he is in charge of his life rather than letting himself languish under the control of his alcohol dependency, he has more energy now compared with any time in his adult life, his life now has a positive direction, he is involved in a wholesome relationship, and he likes his new job responsibilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Copyright &copy; 2012 <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog">avalon09</a>. Visit the original article at <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/179/a-young-female-requires-treatment-for-her-mental-illness-and-for-her-alcohol-and-drug-addiction/">http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/179/a-young-female-requires-treatment-for-her-mental-illness-and-for-her-alcohol-and-drug-addiction/</a>.<br /><p>Roughly a month ago I met a twenty-seven-year-old woman named Rachael who is bipolar and who is also dependent on alcohol and drugs. I have read that under such circumstances, an individual needs to get treatment for both medical problems and that mental health problems and chemical dependency frequently take place in the same individual. Moreover, I recall reading that a history of careless drinking, drug addiction, and/or mental health issues many times happen in the same family.</p>
<p>Plainly, Rachael is so defeated by both of her medical problems that she in actual fact has little or no ambition to complete much of anything. What is particularly sad about this is that earlier in her life, Rachael managed to finish one-and-a-half years of college. Rachael’s condition makes me wonder if she is an example of a person who has to hit the bottom of the barrel before he or she gets alcohol and drug dependency rehab that leads to lasting sobriety.</p>
<p><strong>The Need For a Psychologist She Trusts and a Rehabilitation Program She Can Believe In</strong></p>
<p>If I were in contact with Rachael I could suggest more than a few websites that could possibly help her find info about addiction and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.key-alcoholism-info.com">alcoholic behavior</a>, relevant substance abuse information, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcoholism-information.com/Alcoholism_Facts.html">facts about alcoholism</a> and drugs, and info about addiction symptoms and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcoholism-information.com">alcoholism warning signs</a>. From where I stand, nevertheless, Rachael needs to find a doctor she trusts and a rehab protocol she can believe in and follow through over the long term. I could be in the wrong but it seems to make sense that Rachael probably needs to admit the fact that she cannot drink responsibly or use drugs if she wants to get sober, remain sober, and start on the path to long-term recovery.</p>
<p><span id="more-179"></span></p>
<p>I am mindful that there are some newly developed physician-prescribed meds that can help Rachael through her withdrawal symptoms, through the alcohol and alcohol detox process, and help her avoid a drug or an alcohol relapse. Obviously it would be in Rachael&#8217;s best interests if she became conversant with these medications.</p>
<p>I would think that Rachael needs to concede the fact that there is absolutely nothing healthy about careless drinking and substance abuse and that involving herself in one or both circumstances is the path to poor work and school performance, legal problems, shattered relationships, deteriorating health, financial difficulties, and a premature death.</p>
<p><strong>The Significance of Support Groups Like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous</strong></p>
<p>There are probably a lot of persons such as other individuals, family members, and friends who would want to help Rachael but she probably would experience greater tolerance from a recovery group such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous rather than listening to individuals who drink responsibly or who have never taken drugs.</p>
<p><strong>When People Accomplish Things They Love and About Which They Are Fervent</strong></p>
<p>There’s a school of thought that declares that individuals who do things they like and something about which they are passionate reach a breathtaking place in life. In other words, when people do what they enjoy, they almost never experience boredom or an uneventful life. If they involve themselves in something that is satisfying, furthermore, they become more fulfilled and experience more pleasure and delight in life.</p>
<p>To me, this sounds like the exact opposite of a life that is centered in alcohol and drug addiction because such a lifestyle removes the contentment and delight that life offers.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that Rachael lacks the fortitude to do much of anything in her life, it is evident that she desperately needs some hope for a better existence. And the unfortunate thing is that hope is almost everywhere around Rachael if she could only get to the point in life to get the therapy she needs for her mental illness and drug dependence and alcohol addiction and adhere to her treatment protocol.</p>
<p><strong>Beneficial Change, Self Esteem, and a Wonderful Life Are Possibilities<br /></strong></p>
<p>Rachael is simply too young to be overwhelmed in life. She doesn&#8217;t realize this at the moment but if she can learn how to stay away from drugs and alcohol via drug and alcohol rehab and get the treatment she requires for her bipolar condition, she can reorient her life and start living with passion, self-respect, and direction.</p>
<p>Beneficial change, self respect, and a meaningful life are certainly possibilities for Rachael if only she could become inspired to seek the professional rehabilitation she requires, follow through with her treatment protocol, live her life in an addiction-free and healthy way, and foster a more positive attitude about her life.</p>

Moreover, she has also been teaching Sunday school at the local Episcopalian Church. Even though she lived in a small countryside town where it appeared like every person knew everyone&#8217;s business, little if nothing was known about Jenny. It almost goes without saying that virtually everyone knew that she had worked quite a few years as a nurse practitioner and that she taught Sunday school for as long as she lived in their small community. Other than that, nevertheless, it almost appeared as if Jenny was simply a visitor in their community.</p>
<p>You can visualize the hoopla that happened when it was revealed that one Sunday morning Jenny had passed out due to inebriation. To be sure, the article in the local daily newspaper reported that Jenny not only passed out, but that she also was arrested for drunk driving because her blood alcohol concentration was considerably more than the legal limit. This is certainly one of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-information.com/The_Long_Term_Effects_of_Alcohol_Abuse.html">alcohol effects on the body</a> that no Sunday school teacher wants to have discussed by the entire community. But this is specifically what took place, much to the dismay of Jenny.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Gets Extremely Distraught About Her DUI</strong></p>
<p>Clearly, Jenny was very letdown about her arrest for driving while inebriated. Not only should she have known better about driving while intoxicated because of her nursing job, but she also should have conducted herself according to a more elevated standard because of the basic fact that she taught Sunday school.</p>
<p><span id="more-147"></span></p>
<p>After her arrest, Jenny contemplated whether or not she should move out of town so that she would not have to feel discontented about her arrest and also so she wouldn’t have to go over her actions for the five hundred thousandth time to the people in town. After talking to her minister, however, she made up her mind that she would get alcohol treatment at a local drug and alcohol rehab hospital. She did this for two fundamental reasons. First, it was convenient for her to drive to a local counseling center. And second, she frankly wanted the word to get spread among all the individuals in the community that she was openly addressing her abusive and hazardous drinking.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Goes Through Alcohol Detoxification and Gets a Thorough Physical Exam</strong></p>
<p>After Jenny went through detoxification, she got thoroughly checked by a doctor at the drug and alcohol rehab hospital. She then underwent two or three laboratory tests where it was determined that she was not addicted to alcohol but rather was engaging in abusive and irresponsible drinking. In short Jenny was engaging in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-abuse-info.com/Statistics_on_Alcohol_Abuse.html">long term alcohol abuse</a>.</p>
<p>Jenny was provided with the alternative of getting registered as an in-patient or getting alcohol treatment as an outpatient. Jenny, nevertheless, thought that she could still work as a registered nurse and retain her Sunday school teaching position if she were to be admitted as an out-patient and this is specifically what she did.</p>
<p>According to her treatment protocol, Jenny went to two sessions every three weeks, she learned quite a lot about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcohol-abuse-details.com/Alcohol_Info_-_Can_Alcohol_Affect_Me.html">alcohol info</a>, she worked on her out-of-class “tasks,” and she found out how to do things in life that did not involve drinking.</p>
<p>After ten weeks, Jenny thought that her careless and hazardous drinking was under control and so she got discharged from the rehab center under the condition that she would return for follow up counseling once every three months for the next seven months. Jenny signed an agreement form and followed through on her “word of honor.”</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Makes up Her Mind to Remove Herself From All Drinking Circumstances and Finds Out That Her Self Respect Becomes More Enhanced</strong></p>
<p>After she finished her rehabilitation Jenny thought that she would be able to drink more responsibly than before. After reflecting on things more rigorously, nonetheless, she figured out that she would absolutely remove herself from any and all drinking situations.</p>
<p>When Jenny arrived at this conclusion, she discovered that her self-confidence grew the more efficiently she managed her life. And as her sense of worth grew, it appeared that she became more outgoing and began going to more town activities such as music festivals, local high school football and basketball games, flower festivals, rib roasts, strawberry festivals, carnivals, and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Addresses Her Hazardous and Excessive Drinking, Makes up Her Mind To Do Something Affirmative About It, and Rediscovers Her Faith</strong></p>
<p>As the years passed, the individuals in the community expressed more affection for Jenny because she was involving herself with them more often and also because she faced her hazardous drinking and made up her mind to do something productive about it. It may have been her imagination, but it also appeared that her Sunday school students manifested more respect and appreciation for her.</p>
<p>Jenny is a living example of a person who had a hazardous issue and who did something constructive about it. She is also someone who found out that her religious faith is not only something that is intrinsic, but that it is also something that affects the way in which an individual interrelates with other individuals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Copyright &copy; 2012 <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog">avalon09</a>. Visit the original article at <a href="http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/109/a-sunday-school-teacher-gets-arrested-for-driving-while-intoxicated-gets-motivated-and-inspired-to-receive-alcohol-rehab-for-her-abusive-and-hazardous-drinking-and-boosts-her-self-image/">http://raiseselfesteem.com/blog/109/a-sunday-school-teacher-gets-arrested-for-driving-while-intoxicated-gets-motivated-and-inspired-to-receive-alcohol-rehab-for-her-abusive-and-hazardous-drinking-and-boosts-her-self-image/</a>.<br /><p>For the past nine years Jenny has been a licensed practical nurse at a urban hospital. Not only this, but she has also been teaching Sunday school at the local Nazarene Church. In spite of the fact that she lived in a medium size countryside community where it seemed like everybody knew everyone&#8217;s business, relatively little was known about Jenny. Needless to say virtually every person in town knew that she had worked numerous years as a registered nurse and that she taught Sunday school for as long as she was a resident of their small town. Other than that, however, it almost seemed as if Jenny was simply a visitor in their town.</p>
<p>You can imagine the commotion that was created when it was discovered that one Sunday morning Jenny had lost consciousness because of inebriation. If truth be told, the article in the community weekly paper articulated that Jenny not only became unconscious, but that she also received a DWI due to the fact that her blood alcohol concentration was considerably higher than the legal limit for intoxication. This is evidently one of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcoholics-info.com/What_Health_Problems_Can_Alcohol_Cause.html">alcohol effects on the body</a> that no Sunday school teacher wants to have made public to the entire community. But this is specifically what occurred, much to the dismay of Jenny.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Gets Very Discontented About Her Drunk Driving Arrest</strong></p>
<p>It almost goes without saying that Jenny was quite unhappy about her drunk driving arrest. Not only should she have known better about drinking and driving because of her nursing job, but she also should have conducted herself according to a higher benchmark because of the simple fact that she taught Sunday school.</p>
<p><span id="more-109"></span></p>
<p>After her arrest, Jenny thought about moving out of town so that she would not have to feel letdown about her arrest and also so she wouldn’t have to explain her actions for the one millionth time to the other members of her community. After meeting with her pastor, however, she came to a decision that she would get alcohol counseling at a local rehab center. She did this for two precise reasons. First, it was convenient for her to drive to a local rehab hospital. And second, she honesty wanted the word to get spread among all the people in town that she was openly dealing with her unhealthy and excessive drinking.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Goes Through Alcohol Detoxification and Gets an Extensive Examination</strong></p>
<p>After Jenny went through alcohol detox, she got completely checked by a physician at the alcohol rehabilitation hospital. She then underwent various lab procedures where it was verified that she was not addicted to alcohol but rather was engaging in abusive drinking. In a word Jenny was engaging in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.about-alcohol-abuse.com">long term alcohol abuse</a>.</p>
<p>Jenny was provided with the choice of getting admitted as a residential patient or getting alcohol counseling as an outpatient. Jenny, then again, believed that she could still work as a nurse practitioner and retain her Sunday school teaching job if she were to be registered as an out-patient and this is exactly what she did.</p>
<p>According to her treatment action plan, Jenny went to three sessions three times per month, she learned quite a bit about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alcoholism-information.com">alcohol info</a>, she worked on her out-of-class “assignments,” and she found out how to accomplish things in life without having a need for alcohol.</p>
<p>After eighteen weeks, Jenny determined that her hazardous drinking was under control and so she got discharged from the drug and alcohol rehabilitation hospital under the stipulation that she would return for a refresher course once every two months for the next seven months. Jenny agreed and followed through on her “word.”</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Makes up Her Mind to Refrain From Any and All Drinking Situations and Learns That Her Positive Attitude About Herself Grows</strong></p>
<p>After she finished her rehabilitation Jenny felt that she would be able to drink more responsibly and in moderation. After thinking about things more thoroughly, however, she arrived at a decision that she would completely abstain from all drinking situations.</p>
<p>When Jenny made this decision, she found out that her self-respect became stronger the better she managed her life. And as her self-worth grew, it seemed like she became more friendly and started attending more local functions such as strawberry festivals, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, music festivals, flower festivals, carnivals, local high school football and basketball games, and rib roasts.</p>
<p><strong>Jenny Faces Her Abusive and Excessive Drinking, Comes to a Decision To Do Something Constructive About It, and Rediscovers Her Faith</strong></p>
<p>As the months went by, the people in the town exhibited more consideration for Jenny because she was intermingling with them more often and also because she addressed her drinking problem and did something affirmative about it. It may have been her imagination, but it also seemed as if her Sunday school students displayed more admiration and high regard for her.</p>
<p>Jenny is a living example of someone who faced a dangerous issue and who did something affirmative about it. She is also a person who found out that her religious faith is not only something that is private, but that it is also something that affects the way in which an individual relates to other people.</p>
