Question by : Anyone have a counseling template for a Soldier going over their monthly rations?
Im in Korea and we get rations for alcohol and my Soldier went over and needs to be counseled and I have never had to counsel for this before. Does anyone have a template?

Here is the problem. How can a Soldier go over his ration limit? He really can’t. He runs out and then he can’t buy anymore. If he has a buddy who doesn’t drink use his ration coupons to buy for him he still hasn’t broken a regulation. Now, does he have a drinking problem that interferes with her work? That is a whole different problem and you would probably be better served going to see a representative from the hospital or clinic to get advice on this. Good luck!

Question by xandra: Have ever you try alcohol withdrawal symptoms? Do anyone know how long it takes to recover?
I had drink a plenty of red wine every night for a year? Then I day I stoped and suddenly the second day I started to have insomnia. Almost 3 months. I try valerian and melatonin only sometimes works. Now I still don’t know the reason that I can’t sleep well because when I don’t need to work next day I sleep better. Maybe job stress.
Don’t say to me I need 18 months to recover.

Question by abigail s.: I want to find an alcohol rehab in Wyckoff, New Jersey but I don’t know how. Can anyone help me with this?
I just really want to help an old friend of mine. We’ve been friends since childhood and I didn’t anticipate that it would end up like this– that she would someday (which is now) be an alcoholic. We have always looked out for each other, and she has always been kind of like a big sister to me. So now it’s my turn to be like a big sister to her by helping her find an alcohol rehab for herself. How will I do this?

A good thing to do would be to take her to a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess her situation as well as tell you of the treatment programs and alcohol rehab that you should take her to. You can also check out the links below that I have provided. These contain lists of the alcohol rehabs in the area you have specified. I really hope that your friend gets well soon. It’s always tough to see a loved one suffering from the effects of alcohol addiction. Good luck.

Question by gone2soon: Does anyone know?
My son, the one pictured, is seeking an alcohol/drug treatment center that is affordable. He has been an addict most of his life and now, at age 33, is needing to go into treatment badly, like yesterday!!!! He’s been in treatment before and it’s helped for a time, and now is broke, using, and in desperate need of being in a live in treatment center. If you know of any in the Illinois/ Missouri area please let me know. I am/ he is desperate! Thank you.
