Stanley started drinking excessively when he was a sophomore in high school. From a positive way of looking at things, even though he drank excessively when he was a teen and a young adult, when he got beyond the age of twenty-five he almost always drank in moderation.
After he completed his education he eventually landed a job at a local office supply manufacturer where he worked his way up from stock person, to office assistant, to purchasing assistant, to purchasing manager. Unlike his other work positions, as the purchasing agent he frequently took potential vendors and existing vendors to lunch and to various sporting events.
Though it was not written in concrete, meeting with existing vendors and potential vendors repeatedly involved situations in which alcohol was present. In truth, over the past year, Stanley had started to radically increase his social and his work-related drinking. This has led to a quandary. Namely, the more successful he became as a purchasing agent, the more he began to drink.
His Increasing Bouts of Depression Also Made Him Question if He Was Becoming an Alcohol Dependent Person
In point of fact, it didn’t take long at all before Stanley’s irresponsible and careless drinking started to negatively affect the money in his savings account, his health, his work efficiency, his mental health, and his relationships. At one point, Stanley, in reality, started to be concerned about his irresponsible and excessive drinking and questioned if his alcohol related problems were alcoholism signs. What is more, his increasing bouts of depression also made him wonder whether he was becoming dependent on alcohol. In a word, Stanley obviously needed to learn more about the facts about alcohol abuse and alcoholism.
Stanley Needs Alcohol Detoxification and Alcohol Treatment For His Alcohol Dependency and a Medical Assessment Regarding His Depression
So Stanley used his problem solving ability, called his family doctor, and made an appointment for a complete physical examination. The next week when he saw his doctor, Stanley regrettably discovered that he was an alcoholic. His family doctor told Stanley that he needed to get alcohol detox and alcohol rehabilitation for his alcohol dependency and that he also needed to get a medical assessment regarding his depression. In short, Stanley needed treatment for his alcoholism and depression.
The Good News is That After His Treatment For Alcohol Addiction and For Depression, He Felt Like a Different Individual
His doctor suggested to Stanley that he take a 45-day leave of absence from work and get enrolled in a quality in-patient alcohol rehabilitation facility where his depression could also be appraised and treated. This is precisely what Stanley did. The good news is that after his treatment for alcohol dependency and for depression, he felt like a new person. In actual fact, now that he was living an alcohol-free life he rarely got depressed and he now knew how to more efficiently and successfully manage his finances, his relationships, his job, and his health.
Obviously, the most difficult “test” Stanley encountered was at the office. Simply put, he still took his existing vendors and potential vendors to various sporting events and to lunch, but after his alcohol rehab he managed to abstain from drinking while entertaining his clients.
It can be emphasized that Stanley also learned that none of his existing vendors or potential vendors thought any less of him because of his abstinence. Conversely, he found out that his potential vendors and existing vendors respected him for staying true to his convictions.
Stanley’s Better Finances, Relationships, Work Performance, and the Better Health He Experienced More Than counterbalanced His Love of Drinking
After Stanley went through alcohol treatment, however, he learned that he was a person who, for whatever reason, could not drink responsibly and in moderation. In point of fact he found out the hard way that if he stayed away from drinking, all of the other important parts of his life would be fortified. Every so often, Stanley missed drinking, but the better health, finances, work performance, and the better relationships he experienced more than offset his love of drinking.
