A Young Man’s Excessive Drinking Leads To a DWI, Mental Health Concerns, Depression, and Time Locked Up In Jail

21st August 2009 by Depressed No Comments

Jesse had an awfully difficult time keeping a job. As a matter of fact, because of his sluggishness and lack of incentive, he was jobless far more regularly than he was employed. And when he did find a job, he had a very difficult time getting to work when his shift started, he usually received less than satisfactory performance appraisals, and he called off sick so habitually that he almost always got fired four or five weeks after he started working. To no one’s disbelief, one of the effects of Jesse’s irresponsible employment record was the fact that he was virtually broke much of the time.

In spite of Jesse’s poor work history and financial lack of attention, however, one way or another he made it a point to drink heavily most of the time.

So it came as no big shock when Jesse got a fourth DWI. When he went to court, the magistrate clearly stated to Jesse that his alcohol-related actions was terrible and, as a result, he was going to sentence Jesse to serve seven months in the local jail.

Time Behind Bars To Think About The Hurtful Results of Abusive Drinking

During his time in the city jail, Jesse was required to learn more about alcohol facts, about the demoralizing results of abusive and irresponsible drinking, and he was required to get alcohol rehab. The magistrate underlined the fact that unless Jesse receives professional alcohol therapy and discovers how to live a life of sobriety, he will quite possibly be spending more than a short amount of time imprisoned.

Jesse articulated that he comprehended what the judge was pronouncing but he still believed that jail was not the most logical sentence. The magistrate saw things in an entirely different way and asserted that it was his obligation to keep people off the streets who drive under the influence and who receive multiple DUIs. To substantiate this view, the magistrate articulated some revered, thoroughly researched alcohol statistics that underlined some of the distressing consequences that are associated with hazardous and abusive drinking.

Although Jesse understood that he drank in an irresponsible and hazardous manner, he never believed that he was an alcohol addicted person. So it was a big surprise when Jesse started suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms nearly four-and-a-half hours after getting locked up in the local jail.

To manage his alcohol withdrawal symptoms in a harm free manner, Jesse was taken by ambulance to a drug and alcohol treatment hospital for alcohol detox and then brought back to the county jail. While locked up in jail Jesse received a mental health evaluation for his depression and got alcohol counseling but due to the fact that he received this treatment as something that was imposed upon him, he was unsuccessful in taking ownership of his irresponsible and abusive drinking.

When his time in the county jail was over, the magistrate without reservation announced to Jesse that he would be under strict scrutiny and would be required to take random blood alcohol tests.

Jessie’s Abusive Drinking Prevents Him From Living in an Accountable and Responsible Manner

After hearing how Jesse was unsuccessful in taking ownership of his drinking circumstances and how he reluctantly followed the rehab regimen while in the municipal jail, the magistrate knew that it was essentially a matter of time before he would be seeing Jesse once again in court about his hazardous drinking behavior. As the judge thought about Jesse’s circumstance, he couldn’t help but think about how some people never “connect the dots” and learn how to live in a mature and productive manner.
