Cindy was a forty-five-year-old graphic designer who knew that she had some drinking issues. As an illustration, within the past five months she has experienced the need to have more than a few drinks before going to work, four weeks ago she tested positive for a saliva alcohol test where she works, three months ago she got arrested by the state highway patrol for a DUI, and last but not least, for the last five months she has started to fail to remember what she does and says when she drinks with her buddies.

Similar to multitudes of other people, Cindy's involvement with alcohol began gradually and continued at this tempo for quite a long period of time because at times she engaged in sporadic social drinking. If truth be told, for almost ten months, every time she went out with her pals to drink, she made sure to drink responsibly. Something about her drinking circumstances, nonetheless, seemed to completely change when she got divorced.

Cindy got especially "down" about the loss of her husband, and as a way to refrain from fixating on her depressing emotions she arrived at a decision that she would begin hanging out more routinely with some of her pals who love to "get down" and drink. It didn't take too long, nevertheless, before her drinking increased significantly the more habitually she went to and drank at dinner dates, sporting events, happy hours, private parties, and family get-togethers with her friends.

To put it briefly, she was drinking and having a lot of fun just like everybody else in her group of buddies without too much deliberation regarding the alcohol short term effects and especially about the alcohol long term effects she has been exhibiting. Yet somewhere in the recesses of her mind she realized the facts about the negative alcohol effects on the body and on the mind and that she most likely required alcohol counseling but stayed away from the thought as much as possible.

One afternoon during her twelve month physical exam, her doctor asked her if she drank alcohol. Not wanting to tell falsehoods to her healthcare practitioner, Cindy disclosed the truth that she routinely drinks more than she should. As a matter of fact, she stated that she routinely drinks in an abusive and irresponsible manner. Then Cindy informed her doctor about her depression. More specifically, she articulated that wrecked relationships often initiated a dismal chain of events characterized by increased drinking which further resulted in more negative feelings that, in turn, resulted in even more drinking. And this is specifically what took place when her husband and she got divorced five years ago.

Cindy's healthcare practitioner then said the following: "I am not trying to make an unprepared judgment, but with your medical condition e may be working with two separate concerns. As a consequence, I think we probably need to make an appointment for you to get an alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse appraisal from my partner, Dr. Poulos, who is an alcohol addiction specialist."

"Whether your drinking condition is more linked to alcohol addiction or alcohol abuse is unknown at this time, but I believe that further exploration is defensible. Then I feel we should make an appointment for you to get a psychological evaluation from another one of my partners, Dr. Hauser, ."

"I need to get some more information about your sadness and see how much your depression and drinking are interlinked." Cindy showed her satisfaction with her healthcare practitioner's line of attack and thanked him for his assistance and concern.
