Jesse had an exceptionally hard time maintaining a job. In fact, because of his lassitude and lack of drive, he was out of work far more often than he was in a state of employment. And when he did get employment, he had a very difficult time getting to work on time, he typically received less than positive performance reviews, and he called off sick so often that he usually got fired four or five weeks after he began working. To no one’s disbelief, one of the outcomes of Jesse’s awful work record was the fact that he was without much money almost on a daily basis.
Regardless of Jesse’s shameful work record and financial laxity, nevertheless, one way or another he made it his business to drink excessively on a daily basis.
So it came as no big jolt when Jesse got a fourth DWI. When he went to court, the judge stated to Jesse that his alcohol-related behavior was shameful and, consequently, he was going to sentence Jesse to serve ten months in the local jail.
Time In The County Jail To Reflect On The Distressing Effects of Hazardous Drinking
During his time in the county jail, Jesse was required to learn more about alcohol facts, about the injurious consequences of abusive and excessive drinking, and he was required to get alcohol rehab. The judge stressed the fact that unless Jesse gets professional alcohol therapy and learns how to live a life of sobriety, he will most likely be spending a lot more time in the local jail.
Jesse stated that he understood what the magistrate was asserting but he still asserted that jail was not the proper response. The judge saw things from an entirely different vantage point and stated that it was his responsibility to keep alcohol dependent individuals off the streets who drive and drink and who receive a DWI. To corroborate this perspective, the judge quoted some venerable, extensively researched alcohol statistics that emphasized some of the unhealthy effects that are linked to abusive and hazardous drinking.
Even though Jesse realized that he drank heavily, he never thought that he was a person who was dependent on alcohol. So it was a big surprise when Jesse began suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms about seven-and-a-half after getting incarcerated.
To manage his alcohol withdrawals in a safe manner, Jesse was taken by ambulance to a drug and alcohol rehab center for alcohol detox and then returned to the city jail. While locked up in the local jail Jesse undertook alcohol therapy but due to the fact that he got this rehab as something that was mandated for him, he failed to take ownership of his excessive drinking.
When his time in the local jail was finished, the judge without indecision announced to Jesse that he would be under stringent scrutiny and would be mandated to take periodic urine alcohol tests.
Jessie’s Hazardous Drinking Prevents Him From Living in an Accountable and Productive Manner
After hearing how Jesse failed to take ownership of his drinking problem and how he unwillingly followed the therapy modus operandi while in the county jail, the judge knew that it was essentially a matter of time before he would be seeing Jesse once again in court about his excessive and hazardous drinking behavior. As the judge thought about Jesse’s situation, he couldn’t help but think about how some individuals never “connect the dots” and discover how to live in an adult and effective manner.
