Jacquie was known at the office as really conservative person who had a great attendance record. She never went to any of the happy hours after work and it was regarded throughout the workplace that she was an incredibly religious person who many times talked about the potential issues of alcohol abuse and addiction to alcohol in our United States.

Try to imagine the shock within the company when one Monday AM Jacquie did not show up for work and not a soul had heard from her. In reality, it wasn't until close to 8:30 in the morning that the human resources department received a phone call about Jacquie from the the jail downtown.

Evidently, Jacquie went out drinking along with a few of her university friends late Saturday night and at some time around 2:00 early Sunday morning, Jacquie was arrested for a DUI. Since her blood alcohol content level was very elevated, she was required to spend a day-in-a-half in the downtown jail.

When Jacquie arrived at work on Tuesday morning, she promptly shared with her manager what had occurred and she asked if she might possibly go and talk to the Human Resources director about her "driving while intoxicated" arrest. The Human Resources manager told Jacquie that she ought to make an appointment with somebody in the company employee's assistance program to go over any future drinking issue that she might have. The Human Resources director also articulated that she needs to explain her need to employ a "driving under the influence" attorney to represent her concerning her DWI case.

In addition, the Human Resources manager told Jacquie that it was encouraging that she would like to hire a "drunk driving" attorney because of the complexities and difficult issues that happen to be related to a "driving while intoxicated" conviction. Just before finishing their discussion, the Human Resources director informed Jacquie that it was quite encouraging that she doesn't seem to have any long term alcohol effects. The Human Resources director emphasized that this is relevant because according to alcoholism statistics and facts, the long term effects of alcohol not only wreck an individual's health, but they can also impair any and all close relationships the alcohol dependent individual may have.

Jacquie thanked the Human Resources manager for his helpful and encouraging words and then walked over to the organization's employee's assistance program go over her "drunk driving" arrest, her involvement in excessive and unhealthy drinking drinking over the past weekend, and her aspiration to hire a DWI lawyer to represent her "drunk driving" case. After listening to Jacquie's "story", the healthcare practitioner from the employee's assistance program articulated Jacquie's immediate "plan of action" that she needed to address and follow.

First, she would be required to take a DUI class to learn more DUI Facts and information. Second, she would also have to attend and alcohol abuse class to address her probable problem drinking. And lastly, it would be an especially wise thing to do if she were to talk with a DUI Attorney about her "driving while intoxicated" arrest.
