Excessive Drinking Concerns

Pete had an unusually hard time keeping a job. In fact, because of his lassitude, lack of motivation, and poor work attitude, he was out of a job far more often than he was in a job situation. Not only this, but when he did land a job, he frequently got less than optimal performance assessments, he had an exceedingly difficult time getting to work when his shift began, and he called off sick so frequently that he regularly got fired a month or two after he began working. It therefore should not come as a big shock realize that one of the effects of Pete’s terrible employment history was the fact that he was virtually broke on a day-to-day basis.

Nearly three months ago Robert applied for a position as a bouncer at one of the big nightclubs located in the city. He took daily vitamins, nutrients, and minerals; he was a body builder; he studied ninjitsu, gatka, judo, karate, and aikido for eight-and-a-half years; he was into health foods and healthy eating; and he seemed like a natural for such a position. In fact, Robert was so diligent about his bodybuilding and his overall health that he stopped drinking abusively approximately four-and-a-half years ago and then he made up his mind around six-and-a-half months ago to totally quit drinking.

Sherry and Bruce have been dating for eight years. They met while taking the same music composition class at a relatively small, rural, Church affiliated liberal arts college located in western Texas.
