Jesse had a hard time keeping a job. In truth, because of his indolence and lack of motivation, he was without a job far more frequently than he was in work. And when he did get employment, he had an awfully difficult time getting to work when his shift began, he often got less than satisfactory performance appraisals, and he called off sick so often that he almost always got fired a few weeks after he started working. It goes without saying that one of the results of Jesse’s less than acceptable employment track record was the fact that he was without much money almost everyday. In spite of Jesse’s irresponsible work history and financial lack of attention, conversely, in some way he managed to drink in an excessive and hazardous manner on a daily basis. So it came as no big surprise when Jesse received a fourth DUI. When he went before the court, the magistrate explained to Jesse that his alcohol-related conduct was deplorable and, consequently, he was going to sentence Jesse to spend eleven months in the municipal jail. Time In Jail To Reflect On The Adverse Results of Abusive and Excessive Drinking During his time in the municipal jail, Jesse was expected to learn more about alcohol facts, about the disruptive results of excessive and abusive drinking, and he was required to get alcohol therapy. The judge accentuated the fact that unless Jesse receives professional alcohol counseling and discovers how to live an alcohol-free life, he will more likely than not be spending more than a short amount of time incarcerated in jail. Jesse said that he understood what the magistrate was saying but he still thought that placement in the local jail was not the correct judgment. The judge thought otherwise and claimed that it was his obligation to keep alcohol addicted individuals off the streets who drive and drink and who get arrested for one or more DWIs. To give credibility to this perspective, the judge articulated some venerable, extensively researched alcohol statistics that pointed to some of the damaging results that are associated with careless drinking. Even though Jesse realized that he drank in an abusive manner, he never believed that he was an alcoholic. So it was quite a shock when Jesse started to have alcohol withdrawal symptoms about three hours after getting placed behind bars. To deal with his symptoms of alcohol withdrawal in a safe and sound manner, Jesse was transferred to a rehab center for alcohol detoxification and then brought back to the county jail. While locked up in the municipal jail Jesse was given alcohol treatment but because he got this rehab as something that was forced upon him, he neglected to take ownership of his irresponsible drinking. When his time behind bars was completed, the magistrate without reservation announced to Jesse that he would be under rigorous scrutiny and would be mandated to take periodic random breathalyzer alcohol tests. Jessie’s Irresponsible Drinking Prevents Him From Living in a Mature and Productive Manner After hearing how Jesse was unsuccessful in taking ownership of his drinking problem and how he halfheartedly followed the treatment regimen 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 irresponsible and hazardous drinking behavior. As the judge thought about Jesse’s situation, he couldn’t help but think about how some individuals never use common sense and discover how to live in a mature and responsible manner.
