A Young Lady Rises Above Her Depression, Gets Alcohol Rehab For Her Hazardous And Excessive Drinking, And Enhances Her Self Image

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

On top of the noticeable alcohol-related health problems she now experienced, almost certainly the most damaging part of her drinking routine was the untrustworthy and dishonest person she had turned into. In her heart of hearts she knew that she had been lying about her drinking activities with relatives, friends, and family and she also knew she had been lying to herself about the "beneficial" effects of drinking. Not only this but she made excuses for guzzling two or three drinks before going to social events and she also justified needing four or five drinks the very first thing in the morning so that she could cope with the "stress" at work. Stated briefly, Emily got to a critical time in her life during which she realized that she hit rock bottom and was now prepared to commence the slow road to recovery.

One of the ways that Emily put her "plan" into operation was by requesting a transfer at work. When her request was granted, she moved 300 miles away to a different part of the U.S. If nothing else, this beyond doubt made making new friends and detaching herself from her old friends easier. Then she went to see a physician in her new city and made an appointment for a thorough psychological and physical examination.

After meeting with the healthcare professional and going through several lab tests, it was concluded that Emily had made the unfortunate change from alcohol abuse to alcohol addiction and consequently, was in need of alcohol detox and alcohol rehabilitation. At this stressful time, the doctor made it a point to go over the various alcoholic symptoms and the general symptoms of alcoholism. In addition to focusing a lot of attention on Emily's alcoholism symptoms, the physician also told Emily that her psychological assessment revealed that she was clinically depressed and in need of therapy for this medical problem.

Due to her willingness to follow through with the treatment regimen, after three weeks of inpatient rehab, Emily was ready to initiate counseling on an outpatient basis. At this point, she started working at her new job and over the weeks began fortifying her body by taking vitamins, drinking spring water, living an alcohol-free lifestyle, eating wholesome foods, and working out.

After around nine weeks of outpatient treatment during which time she never suffered through a relapse, Emily stopped going to alcohol therapy and instead started going three times every week to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Going to these meetings helped Emily follow through with her alcohol-free way of life, they gave her the support she needed, and they served as a steady reminder of the negative consequences that are related to abusive drinking. Compared with her life just a few short months ago, life was now joyful and full of promise that she could have never hoped for or achieved while she was involved in excessive and abusive drinking behavior.
