Wendy was the mother of four children. Wendy had been feeling quite tense lately and started to “medicate” herself by having several glasses of wine each night after she tucked her children into bed. After nearly six weeks of this drinking routine, she finally understood the fact that rather than helping her ”chill out” and deal with her issues, drinking made her feel less restful when she awakened in the morning. This, in turn, made her feel increasingly more tense throughout the day.
After thinking about her “condition” for several days, Wendy made up her mind to discuss her drinking problem with her best friend. In fact, about twenty-five minutes into their discussion, Wendy’s friend, Eliana, told her that she knew about a very supportive and helpful doctor at the local alcohol and drug treatment facility. After talking to her friend, Wendy immediately got motivated to call the rehab clinic and make an appointment.
Ten days later she eventually got to meet the psychiatrist her friend had talked about. After their short-and-to-the-point introduction, Wendy told the psychiatrist that ever since she and her former husband got divorced, she has been having an extremely difficult time spiritually, financially, and psychologically.
At times, she felt that the divorce was behind her. Recently, though, she has been feeling quite depressed about the fact that she and her former husband couldn’t stay married and “make it”. When asked by the psychiatrist how long she and her ex-husband dated before they got married, Wendy explained to the doctor that her ex-husband and she dated for two-and-a-half years and then lived together for two years before they got married.
As Wendy was talking to the doctor, she highlighted the point that she honestly thought that her ex-husband and she waited long enough to know each other well enough before they got married. After the children started to arrive, however, just about everything appeared to go downhill. Moreover, both she and Robert started to drink, and their irresponsible and abusive drinking adversely affected their relationship, their finances, and their love for one another.
When things became less than cordial between them, Robert hired an attorney and filed for a divorce. Although things were clearly not going well and even though she was often depressed, Wendy told the doctor that she didn’t want to terminate their relationship. Once she was served her divorce papers, however, she knew that their relationship was over.
The physician told Wendy that the anxiety, tension, and stress that she has been experiencing concerning her hazardous drinking are some of the typical alcohol abuse effects and that the best solution for this state of affairs is rehab for one’s alcohol abuse. In fact, getting alcohol abuse treatment is essential because long-term drinking can get the drinker into even more serious alcohol and alcoholism problems.
After several counseling sessions with her doctor, Wendy was slowly but surely able to realize that the real source of her tension and her depression was that she had not laid to rest her resentful feelings she has for her former husband who had divorced her a year-and-a-half ago. With these insights and with the meds her psychiatrist prescribed, she eventually quit drinking, she started to feel much less depressed, and she began making more time for social activities with her friends and family. A few months after receiving treatment from her physician, she even started to date once again.
It was apparent that Wendy had come a long way. In fact, just about eight months after she terminated her treatment, Wendy had finally laid the depressing emotions of her former husband to rest and was beginning to feel better about herself and more spiritually “sound” and emotionally “together” than she had ever felt in her life.
