If they were occasional drinkers, this wouldn’t be such a difficult situation. Because they drink in an excessive manner, nevertheless, they are starting to see some unmistakable alcohol-related issues in their lives.
For instance, just four days ago Jerry received a third DWI and has been showing up late for work due to alcohol-related health issues. Furthermore, Jerry’s last two or three performance appraisals at his place of employment have been less than acceptable and he has begun to fail to remember what he says or does while he drinks.

Similar to Jerry’s situation, Sarah has been feeling unhappy about life in general and to manage these feelings, she has been drinking more than any time in the past eleven months. Moreover, Sarah has been getting more than a few headaches and suffering from excruciating hangovers from drinking. Finally, Sarah has been feeling appreciably less active when she awakens, she has been getting to work late almost every Monday, and she has been getting some harsh criticism from her relatives, friends, family members, and coworkers about her irresponsible drinking.

One Sunday evening while watching the television, Jerry and Sarah went through the channels and found an attention-grabbing documentary about the signs of alcoholism.

After watching the television documentary, Sarah and Jerry made up their minds to have an open conversation about their drinking circumstances. They both were in agreement that most, if not all, of their social activities somehow involved drinking, that they were drinking in an abusive manner, and that as a married couple, they were beginning to see alcohol related employment, health, financial, legal, and relationship problems for the first time in their lives.
With thoughts of the television special still running through her mind, Sarah asked Jerry if some of the alcoholism signs they have been displaying could be a signal that they are alcoholic or maybe becoming addicted to alcohol. Jerry didn’t know the answer to Sarah’s inquiry and so he recommended that they make an appointment with one of the physicians at the nearby alcohol abuse treatment clinic to find out more about the seriousness of their drinking difficulties.
Attending To Your Drinking Difficulties Just May Lessen Your Trepidation and Give You A Degree of Peacefulness
Ironically, although their drinking situation hadn’t yet changed, it was clear that Jerry and Sarah were at least dealing with their drinking problems, they were willing to find out more about their drinking situation, and they were concerned about how they could significantly reduce or get rid of the alcohol-related difficulties that had started to deteriorate.
When Jerry and Sarah went to bed that night, they made up their minds that the next morning, Jerry would call and make an appointment for both of them at the alcohol rehabilitation center located downtown. After they made a promise to one another that they would do whatever it takes to surmount the alcohol-related difficulties that had manifested themselves in their lives, they actually had the most revitalizing night’s sleep they could recall in the last eight weeks.
Just before he fell asleep, Jerry turned to Sarah and observed how painless it is to lessen one’s apprehension and actually experience some serenity by addressing one’s problems with conviction and deciding to do something affirmative about them.
