Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by Kelly Young: I filed for a divorce and I admitted myself in a drug and alcohol treatment center?
I filed for a divorce. I then entered into a drug and alcohol treatment center. When I was admitted, I wrote a letter to judge stating that I was in rehab. The judge dismissed the divorce case. A few months later, I filed a motion to have it reopened, but the judge denied it twice. My wife will not file anything concerning the divorce. What do I need to do to have this case re-opened or continued? what is local 6 rule? I do not understand, my wife works just minuets from the court house and she will not do anything to file.

Evidently in your state, you can’t divorce while you are in some kind of treatment center. This is for your protection, so your wife can’t divorce you while you are trying to get clean from drugs or alcohol. The same applies in some states…if the wife is pregnant, you can’t divorce until the baby is born.

I was wondering if anyone would like to write an article about alcoholism and divorce. Through sharing our experiences with others we can turn the seemingly bad events of our life around to help others. I submitted one to http://www.divorcefire.com . I was reading a story there about a divorce that happend because of abusive behaviors related to drugs and alcohol. I decided to share my story in hopes of helping someone who may read it.

Question by Sandi: Why are many policemen unfaithful to their women? Why do they have high divorce & alcoholism rates?

Best answer:

Answer by Marko
I doubt it’s them being unfaithful, and more like having a very stressful work environment. The stress causes them to drink and the long hours causes them to divorce. But this is all just conjecture.

Question by : Why is it that police officers have the highest rate of alcoholism, spousal abuse, suicide, and divorce?
I am considering pursuing a career in law enforcement but after having done a little bit of research and talking to a couple of police officers it seems that law enforcement personnel are plagued with alcoholism, spousal abuse, suicide, and divorce. Supposedly their rates for these four categories are higher than the national average. What can explain for these trends and how stressful and fun is a career in law enforcement.. (I would preferably like responses from current or former police officers but anyone is welcome to answer. Please state whether you are involved in law enforcement)

I have not seen a single statistic to support your claims of alcoholism and abuse. If you have one, please post it.

I have seen a statistic on divorce that puts police at 60%. This may seem high, but the average for the entire US is 55%, so it is only slightly higher. You can probably account the extra 5% simply to working holidays, weekends, and lots of overtime.

Suicide has always been high in the police profession due to the stress, long hours, shift work, high expectations, and the fact they see the worst of society on a daily basis.
