Anyone have a counseling template for a Soldier going over their monthly rations?

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?

Best answer:

Answer by majgross
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!

How can I start over after going through inpatient alcohol rehabilitation?

Question by annie lk: How can I start over after going through inpatient alcohol rehabilitation?
All the friends I have are those that are in rehab, and all the friends I had before I entered that place were my alcoholic friends. They’ve been trying to get in touch with me but I feel that it would only do me worse rather than good since I might be tempted to drink alcoholic beverages again. I don’t want to be friendless, though. What can I do?

Best answer:

Answer by John P
You have made a good decision in not going back out with your old friends.

The only solution that I have seen work for the long term is to join a 12 step program specifically for you AA.

Q&A: Am I going to have alcohol withdrawal?

Question by David: Am I going to have alcohol withdrawal?
I have drank about 25-40 ounces of alcohol every night for about a year and a half. I am quitting cold turkey this week bc I gotta new job. Will there be any serious alcohol withdrawal? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by itsjunglepat
I don’t know if anyone can actually do that, and I don’t know if you mean wine or beer, but in the unlikely event that you aren’t trolling, I would say.. oh yeah.. and if you ever want to see a cool movie about that sort of thing, you might want to watch The Lost Weekend or Days of Wine & Roses. I love old classics myself.. though for the unfamiliar it’s tough to understand & seems outlandish. Pink elephants are cute, but many other things aren’t.

How long do withdrawal symptoms last for an alcoholic going through recovery?

Question by chell: How long do withdrawal symptoms last for an alcoholic going through recovery?

Best answer:

Answer by Alex
Two of the most likely possibilities are:
If you suddenly stop taking Lexapro, you may feel like you have the flu. You also might have trouble sleeping, have an upset stomach, have shock-like sensations in the arms and hands, feel dizzy, or feel nervous. This usually begins within 1 to 10 days after you stop taking Lexapro. It is not dangerous or life threatening and usually goes away within one week. Not everyone who stops taking antidepressants experiences this syndrome, and it is less likely if medicines are slowly tapered off over a few weeks.

The other possibility is the return of depression symptoms. Antidepressants need to be continued for at least 6 to 18 months in most people for depression symptoms to stay away when the medicines are stopped. Stopping them too early means that within days to weeks (occasionally 1 to 2 months) symptoms of depression return. These can include irritability, fatigue and change in appetite, among others. Sometimes people need to be on antidepressants for a longer than usual, or even indefinite period of time.

I’m sure there are a variety of alcohol rehab centers in Cherry Valley. You might want to check out the yellow pages to see the list. Call them up and inquire as to their policies, treatment methods, rates, etc. Going to a doctor or healthcare provider to have your friend’s situation assessed and to get recommendations will be good too.

Question by gotjanked: Will someone please tell me how a 1000$ drug and alcohol treatment program is going to “help” ?
fact is i will only quit if i want to. so its safe to say that “treatment” is nothing but a money making scam!!

thank u roger!

Best answer:

Answer by sweet sue
No, its not a money making scheme. 1,000 is really cheap for a treatment center. But if you don’t want to quit it has no chance of working, It’s up to you to do the work to make it work. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

what are the consequences of going to alcohol rehab in military.does it affects the rank and also does it have any consequences with chapter-ed out of military.

Best answer:

Answer by Schmuck
No. But it is better to refer yourself than to have your command tell you to go. There is nothing wrong with getting help if you need it. It shows you are mature and recognize a problem that needs attending.

It does not reflect on you negatively in any way.
