A Young Woman Prevails Over Her Depression, Gets Alcohol Rehabilitation For Her Irresponsible And Excessive Drinking, And Bolsters Her Self Worth

Emily was a thirty-six-year-old marketing manager who was tired of feeling depressed everyday of her life and fed up with her abusive and excessive drinking behavior. Simply put, she missed her old enthusiasm for doing various things she enjoyed, she was tired of going through broken relationship after broken relationship due to her constant drinking, she was sick of feeling tired every morning, she was mad at herself for spending her hard-earned money on a worthless habit, and she hated the hangovers she went through on a recurring basis.

Besides the observable alcohol-related health predicaments she was going through, possibly the worst part of her drinking regimen was the untrustworthy and devious person she had become. In her heart of hearts she knew that she had been lying about her drinking behavior to her relatives, friends, and family and she also knew she had been less than honest with herself about the "beneficial" effects of drinking. What is more, she justified guzzling two or three alcoholic beverages before going to social events and she also made excuses for needing one or two drinks as soon as she got up so that she could deal with the "tension" at work. In brief, Emily got to a pivotal time in her life when she realized that she hit rock bottom and was now ready to commence the gradual and slow road that leads to health.

One of the key ways that Emily operationalized her "plan" was by requesting a transfer at her workplace. When her request was approved by Human Resources and by top management, she moved 400 miles away to a different state. If nothing else, this unquestionably made making new friends and buddies and distancing herself from her old buddies much simpler. Then she went to see a physician in her new city and made an appointment for a comprehensive physical exam.

After meeting with the physician and going through numerous laboratory tests, it became painfully clear that Emily had crossed the line from alcohol abuse to alcohol addiction and, as a result, needed alcohol detox and alcohol rehab. At this difficult time, the doctor made it a point to review 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 physician also told Emily that it was decided that she was clinically depressed and in need of therapy for her medical condition.

Due to her eagerness to follow through with the therapy regimen, after ten weeks of inpatient rehabilitation, Emily was ready to initiate therapy on an outpatient basis. At this time in her life, she started working at her new job and over the weeks began revitalizing her body by going to the gym, living an alcohol-free lifestyle, taking vitamins, eating nutritious foods, and drinking spring water.

After approximately nine weeks of outpatient rehabilitation during which time she never suffered through a relapse, Emily stopped going to alcohol rehabilitation and instead began going four times per week to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Going to these meetings helped Emily continue her alcohol-free style of life, they gave her the support she needed, and they served as a constant reminder of the destructive outcomes that are associated with hazardous and careless drinking. Compared with her life less than a year ago, life was now worthwhile and full of potential that she could have never wished for or brought to fruition while while she was engaged in excessive and hazardous drinking behavior.
