Chemical Dependency and Substance Use and Abuse Assignments
Alex's Story
Alex is 57-year-old lawyer, who has gone from a daily bottle of wine to now bringing vodka to work in a water bottle. Alex is drinking alcohol for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Alex is feeling overwhelmed and is getting grief at home for the alcohol use, luckily work hadn’t found out. Until someone made a report of smelling alcohol in the office.
Alex has tried quitting in the past but found the shakes were too obvious to clients and were difficult to hide from co-workers as well.
Alex doesn't see a problem with the use, because there isn't a shortage of money, they continue working, and functioning.
