A Young Couple Assesses Their Irresponsible Drinking And Their Short And Long-Term Dreams, Aspirations, And Hopes

 
Frank and Linda have been dating for eight-and-a-half years. They met while taking the same finance class at a medium size, rural, private liberal arts college located in the Northern part of the United States. While they were just good friends at first, they finally started to date when they were in their first year of college.

Due to the fact both of them came from very conservative backgrounds, neither one of them drank much beyond the casual drinking stage when they first began dating. As the time proceeded, however, they started to go to more happy hours, football bashes, sorority and fraternity parties, and keg parties. As a result, they slowly but surely began to drink more as time passed by.

After they graduated from college, they both found jobs in a relatively small city located roughly seventy miles from their undergraduate college. Then they finally made up their mind to move in with each other.

With any important transformation in an individual's life there is normally something that initiates the particular modification in question. For Linda and Frank the thought of having children and buying a new house was this "source of change." To put it simply, for the first time in their lives, Frank and Linda began to critically assess their abusive and irresponsible drinking and the alcohol long term effects on their lives. As an example, they began to wonder if they would ever experience an alcohol overdose due to their abusive and excessive drinking.

Would their abusive and excessive drinking negatively affect their ability to have children? How would they be able to continue spending a large percentage of their money on drinking if they were to begin saving for a new house?

From a different slant on things, even though neither one of them ever experienced alcohol poisoning, received a DUI, or experienced alcohol poisoning symptoms, they understood that their irresponsible drinking was becoming a problem that they could not discount anymore. All of these questions plainly resulted in the same conclusion, namely that Frank and Linda needed to realize that they couldn't maintain their irresponsible drinking if their aspirations, goals, and dreams were to be accomplished.

Once they arrived at this conclusion, they told their drinking pals about their their goal of buying or building a new house, about their marital plans, and about their plans to start a family. They also told their drinking buddies that they still wanted to associate with them but that they would be drinking responsibly from this point forward so that they could start realizing their future aspirations, goals, and dreams.

Unexpectedly, all of their friends expressed relief because they too had been reflecting on their lives and concluded that their life-styles were much too frequently focused on drinking. They also felt that they would have to change notably if they were to become more responsible and exhibit more consideration for their goals, their careers, and for their health in the next five or ten years.

After their heart-to-heart conversation with their buddies about their dreams, hopes, and plans, Linda and Frank in essence started to have more meaningful relationships with all of their friends. The key reason for this was the fact that all of them had a similar mentality regarding their irresponsible drinking and their relatively short and long-term plans, goals, and aspirations.
