Teresa was a thirty-year-old photographer who realized that she had some drinking issues. For instance, within the past month she has experienced the need to have three or four drinks before going to work, three months ago she tested positive for a urine alcohol test where she is employed, four months ago she got arrested by the state highway patrol for a DWI, and lastly, for almost five months she has started to fail to remember what she says and does when she drinks with her pals.

Like many other drinkers, Teresa’s involvement with alcohol began gradually and stayed at this level of involvement for quite a long time because every so often she engaged in casual social drinking. In actual fact, for around four years, every time she went out with her coworkers to drink, she made sure to drink responsibly. Something about her drinking circumstances, nonetheless, seemed to drastically change when she got divorced.

Quite sincerely, Teresa thought that having fun nearly every day by getting "mellow" and drinking with her pals would help her get beyond the loss of her husband with less distress.

Stress, Time, and Anger Management Problems

Teresa also thought that getting an alcohol “buzz” with her buddies would help her stay away from her time, stress, and anger management problems.

Teresa’s Drinking Increases Considerably the More Often She Goes to Happy Hours, Sporting Events, Dinner Dates, Private Parties, and Family Get-Togethers With Her Pals

It didn’t take very long, nonetheless, before her drinking escalated considerably the more habitually she went to and drank at sporting events, dinner dates, happy hours, private parties, and family get-togethers with her pals. What is more, the fact that her drinking pals were all younger than she was and therefore able to drink harder and longer was one of the reasons that she didn’t concentrate more on her increased drinking. In short, she was having fun drinking just like everybody else in her group of buddies without spending a lot of time thinking about the negative consequences of her abusive and hazardous drinking.

Yet someplace in her mind she realized that she probably required alcohol counseling but kept away from the thought as much as humanly possible.

Teresa Gets a Physical, Admits Her Drinking to Her Healthcare Professional, and ”Comes Clean” About Her General State of Despair

One afternoon during her twelve month physical examination, her healthcare professional asked her if she drank alcohol. Not wanting to lie to her doctor, Teresa owned up to the truth that she often drinks more than she should. If truth be told, she articulated that she commonly drinks in an irresponsible manner. Then Teresa informed her physician about her constant negativity. More plainly, she articulated that broken relationships more often than not generated a disheartening chain of events typified by increased drinking which further resulted in more depressing feelings that, in turn, led to even more drinking. And this is specifically what happened when her husband and she got divorced nine months ago.

When her healthcare professional heard this, he informed Teresa that according to various alcoholism facts and statistics on alcoholism he was exploring, alcoholism and depression frequently happen in the same individual. He then told Teresa that some of the alcohol statistics, facts, and research investigations he has been studying also underline the fact that people who drink in an irresponsible and abusive manner and who also go through depression need to receive treatment for both medical situations.

Teresa’s Doctor Makes an Appointment for a Psychological Appraisal and For an Alcohol Dependency and Alcohol Abuse Assessment

Teresa’s physician then articulated the following: “I am not trying to make an overly quick analysis, but with your medical circumstances we may be dealing with two separate concerns. As a result, I think we probably should make an appointment for you to get an alcoholism and alcohol abuse appraisal from my partner, Dr. Novak, who is an alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse specialist. Whether your drinking situation is more associated with alcohol dependency or alcohol abuse is unknown at this time, but I think that further exploration is reasonable. Then I think we probably should make an appointment for you to get a psychological examination from another one of my partners, Dr. Shapiro, who is a clinical psychologist. I want to get some more information about your dejection and see how much your depression and drinking are correlated.” Teresa expressed her agreement with her healthcare practitioner’s treatment approach and thanked him for his assistance.

Teresa Learns How to Enhance Her Intimate and Loving Friendships and Relationships

In truth, Teresa now felt a sense of personal happiness and self esteem because she finally became inspired to do something positive about her abusive drinking and her depression. Not only this, but Teresa also knew that after alcohol rehab she would be more able to enhance her intimate and loving relationships and friendships. Now all she had to do was to try to reduce her drinking and wait for her appointments.
