A Married Couple Becomes Nervous About Their Abusive And Irresponsible Drinking And Deliberates Whether They Manifest Any Alcohol Dependency Signs


Lenny and Angie have been married for four years. They wanted to experience some fun and excitement before they made up their minds to have a family and so they intentionally fashioned an extraordinarily vibrant social life.

The major issue, however, is that just about everything they do with their family and friends somehow includes drinking. For example, all of the sporting events, dinner engagements, family get-togethers, happy hours, and parties with friends they attend somehow involve drinking.

If they were casual drinkers this wouldn't be such a major issue. Since they drink in a hazardous manner, nonetheless, they are starting to notice some noticeable alcohol-related difficulties in their lives.

For instance, a short time ago Lenny got a second DUI and has been showing up late for work due to alcohol-related health problems. In addition, Lenny's last two or three performance reviews at his place of employment have been less than commendable and he has begun to fail to recall what he does or says while he drinks. Finally, Lenny has been going through sleep-related problems and his family has begun to exhibit anxiety about his drinking difficulties.

Angie, on the other hand, has been feeling depressed with things in her life and to handle these feelings, she has been drinking more habitually than any time in the past eight months. What is more, Angie has been getting quite a few painful migraines and experiencing intense hangovers from drinking. Finally, Angie has been feeling substantially less energetic when she awakens in the morning, she has been getting to work late at least every other day, and she has been receiving some insensitive criticism from her friends, family members, relatives, and coworkers about her careless and excessive drinking.

One Sunday evening while watching the television, Lenny and Angie without any planning whatsoever discovered a captivating program about alcohol facts and alcoholism facts in general and about the signs of alcoholism in particular. This TV special was a real realization to Lenny and Angie because some of the alcohol facts that were talked about gave them the impression that they were unswervingly linked to quite a few of the drinking difficulties Angie and Lenny had been experiencing.

With thoughts of the television special still etched in her mind, Angie asked Lenny if some of the alcohol dependency signs they have been manifesting could be a warning that they are alcohol dependent or maybe becoming alcoholic. Lenny didn't know the answer to Angie's question and so he suggested that they make an appointment with one of the doctors at the nearby alcohol rehab facility to find out more about the gravity of their drinking situation.

Paradoxically, although their drinking situation hadn't yet changed, it was evident that Angie and Lenny were at the very least facing their drinking difficulties, they were willing to find out more about their drinking circumstances, and they were interested in learning how they could significantly lessen or eliminate the alcohol-related problems that had started to deteriorate even further.

When Angie and Lenny went to bed that evening, they arrived at a decision that the next morning, Lenny would call and make an appointment for both of them at the alcohol abuse rehab center located just North of the State Capital. After they promised one another that they would do whatever it takes to defeat the drinking issues that had materialized in their lives, they in point of fact had the most energizing night's sleep they could remember in the last year.
