Jesse had an exceedingly difficult time keeping a job. In truth, due to his indolence and lack of motivation, he was unemployed far more often than he was in a state of employment. And when he did secure a job, he had an exceedingly difficult time getting to work when his shift started, he commonly received less than great performance reviews, and he called off sick so often that he usually got fired two or three weeks after he started working. To no one’s amazement, one of the effects of Jesse’s less than optimal work record was the fact that he was almost totally broke almost on a daily basis.
In spite of Jesse’s disgraceful work track record and financial negligence, nevertheless, one way or another he managed to drink heavily on a daily basis.
So it came as no big surprise when Jesse got arrested for a fifth DWI. When he went before the court, the judge clearly stated to Jesse that his alcohol-related behavior was unacceptable and, as a consequence, he was going to sentence Jesse to serve seven months in the local jail.
Time In The Municipal Jail To Reflect On The Devastating Outcomes of Excessive and Irresponsible Drinking
During his time while locked up in jail, Jesse was required to learn more about alcohol facts, about the hurtful results of hazardous and abusive drinking, and he was required to get alcohol counseling. The magistrate underlined the fact that unless Jesse gets professional alcohol therapy and discovers how to live a life of sobriety, he will most likely be spending a considerable amount of time in jail.
Jesse articulated that he understood what the judge was proclaiming but he still asserted that placement in the city jail was not the most effective sentence. The judge saw things in an entirely different way and declared that it was his job to keep alcoholics off the streets who drink and drive and who get arrested for a DUI. To validate this statement, the judge quoted some respected, highly researched alcohol statistics that pointed to some of the disruptive outcomes that are related to abusive and hazardous drinking.
Although Jesse comprehended that he drank in an abusive and irresponsible manner, he never believed that he was an individual who was dependent on alcohol. So it was a big bombshell when Jesse began experiencing symptoms of alcohol withdrawal about four-and-a-half hours after after getting locked up in the city jail.
To monitor his alcohol withdrawal symptoms in a harm free manner, Jesse was transferred to a rehabilitation center for alcohol detox and then returned to the city jail. While locked up in jail Jesse received alcohol treatment but because he received this rehabilitation as something that was imposed upon him, he was unsuccessful in taking ownership of his hazardous and irresponsible drinking.
When his time in jail was over, the magistrate without hesitation announced to Jesse that he would be under strict scrutiny and would be required to take periodic blood alcohol tests.
Jessie’s Irresponsible and Excessive Drinking Stops Him From Living in a Responsible and Effective Manner
After hearing how Jesse did not take ownership of his drinking problem and how he grudgingly followed the treatment modus operandi while behind bars, the judge knew that it was just a matter of time before he would be seeing Jesse once again in court about his careless drinking behavior. As the magistrate thought about Jesse’s situation, he couldn’t help but think about how some people never use their intellect and learn how to live in a productive and responsible manner.
