Jed is a 38-year-old welder who came into the treatment center after being arrested for drinking and driving (DUI/DWI). His attorney has suggested that he quit drinking and enter treatment at least until his trialwhichis scheduledto occur intwo months. Jed does not anticipate serving jail time but he believes that treatment could strengthen his legal case. After his first arrest for DUI two years ago he simply paid a fine and attended a special driver’s education program for six weeks. Jed found the program to be awaste of time.
Jed has been married for8years and has two daughters aged8and6. He has had numerous arguments with his wife Emily concerning his drinking. He gets very angry and defensive when she confronts him about his heavy drinking andheasserts that he is not an alcoholic. He knows this is true because his father was an alcoholic and Jed says that he is not like his father. His father died as the result of a fight that occurred in traffic when he was drunk. Jed says that his father used tobeat the tarout of him and his brother when he was drunk and that his father always belittled taunted and threatened their mother whether he was drunk or sober.Jed references that his family is Irish and that it was cultural normal to drink and enjoy alcohol and that all of his family and relatives drink in excess.
Jed’s work history is very good; he misses less than one day per year. He works the day shift on weekdays putting in time-and-a-half on most Saturdays. He is well regarded by his supervisors and peers at work. He is fearful that his employer will find out about his treatment (it is being covered by his HMO) and that people at work will learn about the second DUI arrest.
Jed drinks with his buddies from the plant and does not think that his drinking is any more than what they do. He was justunluckyandwascaught doing what everyone else seems to get away with. Jed’s drinking is very predictable: he drinks8-9beers on a weeknight. Several of these are consumed at the bar with friends the remainder at home over the course of the evening. He usually falls asleep in front of the television.When he is not working on Saturdays he often drinksseveral12-packs between Friday and Sunday. A typical Saturday involves getting up at 10:00 a.m. playing soccer with friends and going to the bar for the rest of the day and night. This pattern leads to arguments with Emily who calls him alousy father.At times Jed has had unsettling episodes of being unable to recall what happened while drinking. He has commented to friends thatmaybe I overdo it a bit.Several times he has attempted to cut down on his drinking especially after the last DUI. He once attended a few AA meetings but did not feel thatAAwas helpful: It was listening to a lot of guys whining and he especiallydid not care for the prayers.
Despite these attempts Jed has experienced increased consumption levels over the past2years. He admits that as a result of the drinking he has become increasingly estranged from his wife and daughters. Jed feels that his marriage has been basically good but that he would not blame
