A Young Woman Triumphs Over Her Depression, Gets Alcohol Rehabilitation For Her Abusive And Excessive Drinking, And Increases Her Self Image


Emily was a forty-seven-year-old photographer who was fed up with feeling depressed everyday of her life and sick of her excessive 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.

On top of the visible alcohol-related health issues she was experiencing, perhaps the unhealthiest part of her drinking behavior was the untrustworthy and deceitful person she had turned into. In her heart of hearts she knew that she had been dishonest about her drinking behavior to her relatives, friends, and family and she also knew she had been deceitful with herself about the "beneficial" effects of drinking. Not only this but she made excuses for guzzling two or three alcoholic beverages before going to social events and she also made excuses for needing a few drinks the very first thing in the morning so that she could deal with the "stress" at work. Simply put, Emily got to a critical time in her life during which she saw that she hit a low point in life and was now ready to commence the slow and gradual road to recovery.

One of basic ways that Emily put her "plan" into action was by requesting a transfer at work. When her request was approved, she moved 750 miles away to a new city. If nothing else, this beyond question made making new friends and pals and detaching herself from her old pals easier. Then she went to see a doctor in her new town and scheduled an appointment for a comprehensive exam.

After meeting with the healthcare professional and taking several lab tests, it was determined that Emily had made the unfortunate change from alcohol abuse to alcohol addiction and, as a result, really needed alcohol detox and alcohol treatment. At this stressful time, her doctor made it a point to discuss the various alcoholic symptoms and the general symptoms of alcoholism. In addition to focusing a lot of attention on Emily's alcoholism symptoms, the healthcare professional also told Emily that it was determined that she was clinically depressed and in need of therapy for her medical problem.

Due to her willingness to follow through with the treatment regimen, after six weeks of inpatient rehabilitation, Emily was ready to start counseling on an outpatient basis. At this point in time, 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 about ten weeks of outpatient rehabilitation during which time she never experienced a relapse, Emily quit going to alcohol therapy and instead started going three times every week to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Going to these meetings helped Emily maintain her alcohol-free style of life, they gave her the support she wanted, and they served as a steady reminder of the adverse consequences that are related to abusive and hazardous drinking. Compared with her life just a few short months ago, life was now pleasant and loaded with promise that she could have never longed for or achieved while she was involved in careless drinking behavior.
