A Young Woman Works Through Her Depression, Gets Alcohol Rehab For Her Hazardous And Heavy Drinking, And Increases Her Self Esteem

Emily was a forty-seven-year-old bookkeeper who was sick of feeling depressed everyday and sick of her abusive and hazardous drinking behavior. Simply put, she was sick of feeling lackluster every morning, she hated the hangovers she went through on a regular basis, she was tired of going through failed relationship after failed relationship due to her excessive drinking, she was angry with herself for spending her hard-earned money on a valueless habit, and she missed her old motivation for doing various things she enjoyed.

Besides the perceptible alcohol-related health issues she now experienced, conceivably the most troublesome part of her drinking behavior was the unreliable and dishonest person she had become. In her heart she knew that she had been less than truthful about her drinking activities with friends, family, and relatives and she also knew she had been untruthful with herself about the "positive" effects of drinking. Not only this but she justified wolfing down two or three drinks before going to social events and she also justified needing three or four drinks as soon as she awakened so that she could deal with the "stress" at work. Simply put, Emily got to the point in her life when she finally saw that she hit rock bottom and was now prepared to begin the gradual road to recovery.

One of the ways that Emily put her "plan" into action was by asking for a transfer at her workplace. When her request was approved, she moved 700 miles away to a different location. If nothing else, this absolutely made making new buddies and distancing herself from her old friends easier. Then she contacted a healthcare practitioner in her new town and scheduled an appointment for a thorough physical and psychological exam.

After meeting with the doctor and going through a number of lab tests, it was determined that Emily had made the transition from alcohol abuse to alcoholism and, as a result, was in need of alcohol detox and alcohol rehab. At this difficult time, the doctor made it a point to go over the various alcoholic symptoms and the common symptoms of alcoholism. In addition to taking a lot of time focusing on Emily's alcoholism symptoms, the doctor also told Emily that her psychological evaluation revealed that she was clinically depressed and in need of treatment for this medical problem.

Due to her willingness to follow through with the treatment program, after ten weeks of inpatient rehab, Emily was ready to begin rehab on an outpatient basis. At this time, she started working at her new job and over the weeks began fortifying her body by eating nutritious foods, working out, drinking distilled water, taking vitamins, and living an alcohol-free lifestyle.

After nearly ten weeks of outpatient therapy during which time she never went through an alcohol relapse, Emily stopped going to alcohol rehab and instead started going three times per week to local AA meetings. Going to these meetings helped Emily follow through with her alcohol-free lifestyle, they provided her with the support she required, and they served as a steady reminder of the negative consequences that are associated with abusive and careless drinking. Compared with her life just a few short months ago, life was now rewarding and full of potential that she could have never wished for or achieved while she was involved in careless drinking behavior.
