Jennifer is a thirty-two-year-old accounting clerk who has been ingesting alcohol in an abusive manner since her boyfriend and she broke off their relationship. Indeed, for the past eight months she has been drinking almost two bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking a number cans of beer throughout the day. In short, Jennifer has been drinking so excessively and hazardously that it’s a miracle that she hasn’t suffered from alcohol poisoning.

After feeling downcast because she was beginning to disregard her health, Jennifer at long last told herself that she’s had enough, that it’s time to stop the self pity act, that it’s time to stop the excessive and hazardous drinking, and time to make a new start with her life. So the following Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, she made up her mind to quit drinking completely and suddenly without planning or preparation.

When She Stopped Drinking She Felt Ill, She Was Extremely Moody and Anxious, She Had Utterly No Appetite, She Started to Perspire Extensively, Her Head Was Pounding, and She Vomited Several Times

When Jennifer quit drinking, she assumed that she would more likely than not be tempted to have a few drinks, but she never figured that she would feel so sick. More correctly, around four hours after she stopped drinking, she started to sweat profusely, she had absolutely no appetite, she was extremely tense and moody, she vomited numerous times, and her head was aching.

When she called her best buddy and informed her that she had stopped drinking and that after a couple of hours she suddenly began having flu-like symptoms, Stephanie, her best friend, told Jennifer to call her doctor and explain in a clear manner what she was going through.

She Admits to Her Family Doctor That She Has Been Drinking In an Excessive and Hazardous Manner, That She Just Tried to Stop Drinking, and That She is Going Through Ghastly Flu-Like Symptoms

So Jennifer called her medical practitioner, informed him that she has been drinking in an irresponsible and hazardous manner for several months and that when she tried to abruptly quit drinking earlier in the day, within a couple of hours she felt as if she had the most ghastly flu-like symptoms that she had ever suffered through.

Her physician informed her that she may be going through symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and that she should have a neighbor or relative take her to the emergency room as soon as possible.

As soon as Jennifer got off the phone, she got a relative to take her to the emergency room. Interestingly, all the way to the hospital, as sick as Jennifer felt, the only thing she could think about was whether or not she might be alcohol dependent.

Evidently her doctor had called ahead and informed the emergency room staff to expect Jennifer because when she got to the hospital, she was met by a paramedic and a nurse who without hesitation told her to lie down on the portable bed they had with them. After getting transferred to the emergency room and undergoing a few important tests, it was corroborated that Jennifer was indeed going through alcohol withdrawal symptoms and was in need of alcohol detox.

A medical practitioner administered some medications to lessen the intensity of her flu-like symptoms and also administered some medications to help eliminate the alcohol that was still in her system.

An Alcohol and Drug Addiction Healthcare Professional Clearly Explains That She is Addicted to Alcohol and Then Discusses What Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms and Alcohol Dependency Stages Are

After an hour or two, Jennifer was transferred from the emergency room and transported to the recovery room. After she was in recovery for around two-and-a-half hours, Doctor Rossi, an alcohol dependency specialist, came to visit her. He took his time and clearly explained that Jennifer had suffered through alcohol withdrawal symptoms when she stopped drinking due to the fact that she had become dependent on alcohol.

He then elucidated the fact that with repeated and excessive drinking, the individual’s brain progressively gets acclimated to the alcohol so that it can work in a “routine” fashion. When the person then abruptly refrains from drinking, however, the brain takes action by creating alcohol withdrawal symptoms. In addition, her healthcare practitioner also discussed the various alcoholism stages that an alcohol dependent individual usually suffers through as the disease progressively gets worse.

It is Confirmed that Jennifer is in the Earliest Stage of Alcohol Addiction and She Receives a Favorable Forecast For a Complete Recovery if She Gets the Alcohol Therapy She Needs

Fortunately for Jennifer, it was determined that she was in the first stage of alcohol dependency and, as a consequence, she got a good forecast for a full recovery if she obtains the alcohol addiction treatment she requires.

Jennifer told the medical practitioner that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to reclaim her life. She also articulated that she has an outstanding hospitalization insurance policy that will probably pay for most of the treatment costs. It was obvious that Jennifer was extremely grateful about her optimistic medical forecast and felt at peace knowing that she will be able to get the alcohol dependency treatment she requires so that she can start on the road to recovery.

Dante was a sixteen year old high school junior who was manifesting quite a few alcohol-related issues at school. Therefore, the principal told him that he had to see Miss Johnson, the school counselor, before he would be permitted to return to class.

Later that afternoon when Dante went home after school, he had to go over his school situation with his Mother and Father. His parents were “fairly traditional” and told Dante that getting expelled from school was not a tolerable educational game plan. They explained to Dante that failing to graduate from high school would most probably be like a lead weight around his feet that may harm his educational achievement for the rest of his adult life. Moreover, Dante’s parents were quite unhappy that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his pals in the second.

His parents informed Dante that even though he may be an adolescent, he has to realize fairly swiftly that drinking is the pathway to pain, failure, financial problems, and ill health.

It was obvious that his Mom and Dad were out and out in full accord with Dante’s principal and explained to Dante that he needs to see Miss Johnson, the school therapist. After his conversation with his parents, Dante in the end agreed to see Miss Johnson the next school day. So Dante called the school and scheduled an appointment to see Miss Johnson the next day during his second period class.

The Psychologist Asks Dante if He Comprehends Why His Recent Alcohol-Related Behavior gave the School Administrators Room For Alarm

When Dante went to see Miss Johnson, she immediately examined all of the alcohol-related issues Dante had gotten into and asked him if he knew why his recent alcohol-related behavior gave the school administrators room for alarm.

Quite candidly, Dante questioned why the principal suggested that he see a school counselor. As he stated to Miss Johnson, why should he see a professional psychologist about his drinking activities? Because almost all of his friends drink as much if not more than he does, basically, drinking is no big thing. Stated more explicitly, if nearly everyone is drinking, why is this such a big thing?

Miss Johnson asked Dante when he started to drink. He said that some of his older friends introduced him to drinking wine coolers when he was twelve or thirteen years old and in the seventh grade.

Miss Johnson told Dante that while his pals may in fact drink as much as he does and that they may be an unhealthy influence on him, the facts are that he is the one who is getting suspended from school due to alcohol-related absenteeism, fighting, and delinquency, not his classmates. Furthermore, Miss Johnson also underlined the fact that Dante, and not his pals, is the one who is failing and who is missing almost two days of school every week because of his alcohol related issues. Lastly, Miss Johnson emphasized the fact that because of his drinking behavior, Dante is getting into a dangerous cycle of abusive drinking that can in time ruin his hopes, dreams and aspirations.

In a word, Dante’s involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to thwart his ability to behave like a responsible young man. As conveyed by Miss Johnson, “Just because most of your buddies drink beer, wine, wine coolers, or hard liquor does not mean that it is the correct behavior for you.”

Dante Learns That Eventually He Must Take Responsibility For Himself In Order to Stay Away From Damaging, Destructive, Dangerous, and Unhealthy Outcomes In the Future

Miss Johnson told Dante that one’s friends can unquestionably influence an individual in an unhealthy manner, but that the person himself or herself has to in due course be accountable for herself or himself in order to avoid unhealthy, damaging, destructive, and dangerous outcomes in the foreseeable future.

Fortunately, Miss Johnson was very well prepared for her scheduled time with Dante. She showed him reports and research studies she had highlighted that summarized different drinking statistics and facts that applied to most people in general. Then she showed Dante quite a lot of information that applied particularly to teenagers.

For example, Miss Johnson emphasized the difference between alcoholism and alcohol abuse and explained to Dante that drinkers who continue to drink in an excessive manner frequently become alcoholic.

Miss Johnson also went over the concept of binge drinking which she defined as follows: ingesting five or more drinks in one sitting for males and consuming four or more drinks in one sitting for females.

The Psychologist Conveys Several Alcohol Addiction and Alcohol Abuse Facts and Statistics

Then Miss Johnson listed various alcohol facts and the following eight alcohol abuse statistics:

1. As demonstrated in one study, around 11% of 8th-graders, 22% of 10th-graders, and 27% of 12th-graders reported that they engaged in hazardous drinking.

2. Between 48% and 64% of the people who pass away in fires have blood alcohol levels indicating intoxication.

3. Children who are drinking alcohol by 7th grade are more probable to exhibit delinquent behavior, substance abuse, and academic problems in both high school and junior high school.

4. In the U.S., more than 50% of all homicides and incidents of domestic violence are related to alcohol.

5. In the U.S. among drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, fatal accidents involving a single vehicle at night are three times more likely to be alcohol-related than to other fatal accidents.

6. In the United States, more than 40 percent of the people who start drinking before the age of 13 will develop alcohol dependency or alcohol abuse at some time in their lives.

7. In the U.S, by the time they are seniors in high school, 80% of teens have tried alcohol and 62% have been intoxicated.

8. Treatment for alcohol addiction has been demonstrated to reduce criminal activity up to 80% among chronic offenders, has increased their rate of employment, decreased their homelessness, and reduced their health care costs.

Dante Gets A Meaningful Primer on the Facts About the Short Term and the Long Term Results of Teenage Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

After Miss Johnson went over the aforementioned alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was plain to see that what Miss Johnson taught Dante was a real jolt to him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to go over the long term and the short term outcomes of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, but she also took the time to validate what she was saying with alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that related to everyone, and principally to teenagers.

Without a doubt, it was almost as if a light went on and Dante instantly understood why he should not be engaging in hazardous and excessive drinking with or without his pals anymore. Dante thanked Miss Johnson for her concern and for the information she went over.

Miss Johnson then asked Dante how he felt about getting a physical examination and an alcohol assessment for the alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction rehab he would probably need.

Dante thought about this for few minutes and then agreed to get a complete physical and to go through an extensive evaluation of his drinking situation so that he could start an alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction treatment program as reasonable as possible.

Standard medicine offers chemical and drug treatments in the name of health, but many of those drugs cause problems in the body. Vaccine dangers have become widely known as the incidence of autism have skyrocketed since they’ve been become commonly used. But the truth is, pretty much all man-made chemicals are foreign in the body and just really belong inside.

Alternative health typically offers more friendly options and focuses on eating nature’s foods, herbs, and body cleansing - including liver cleansing and colon cleansing.

Drug oriented doctors often don’t understand body cleansing or why it works, but cleansing can actually help with most all disease - including problems many millions of people have, like female issues, arthritis pain and even anger problems.

Sometimes people think cleansing is as simple as taking a bottle of “cleansing pills” or fasting for a week or two. Unfortunately, the toxicity situations that most people have, largely unknowingly, created in their bodies dictate that much more is needed to truly address the problems and remove the underlying cause.

When cleansing deeply with powerful methods like colon and liver cleansing, you should be aware that you can experience detox symptoms as you release the stored toxicity from your body. When you experience detox symptoms, you’re experiencing the effects of your stored toxicity and it may not feel good - but it’s temporary. Detoxification symptoms can be part of the process when cleansing, the stored waste is loosened for removal.

Actually, if you’re not feeling well when cleansing, colon cleansing can often help you feel better. It does this simply by escorting the waste in your body that was causing the problem - out of your body. And once it’s gone, it won’t be around to cause any problems in your body - which is why you were cleansing in the first place.
