Jesse had a very hard time keeping a job. In truth, because of his slothfulness and lack of incentive, he was without a job far more frequently than he was in a state of employment. And when he did land a job, he had an unusually difficult time getting to work in a timely manner, he commonly got less than satisfactory performance appraisals, and he called off sick so habitually that he regularly got fired a week or two after he started working. To no one’s wonder, one of the results of Jesse’s irresponsible work history was the fact that he was without much money most of the time.
In spite of Jesse’s less than optimal employment history and financial misconduct, conversely, by some means he made it a point to drink in a hazardous manner on an everyday basis.
So it came as no big shock when Jesse got a third DUI. When he went before the court, the magistrate clearly stated to Jesse that his alcohol-related actions was disgraceful and, as a result, he was going to sentence Jesse to spend twelve months in the county jail.
Time In The Municipal Jail To Reflect On The Devastating Effects of Excessive Drinking
During his time in the municipal jail, Jesse was required to learn more about alcohol facts, about the adverse results of irresponsible and abusive drinking, and he was expected to get alcohol counseling. The magistrate emphasized the fact that unless Jesse gets professional alcohol rehab and discovers how to live a life of abstinence, he will most probably be spending more than a short amount of time in the local jail.
Jesse said that he grasped what the magistrate was asserting but he still thought that placement in the city jail was not the right response. The judge thought otherwise and said that it was his professional duty to keep alcohol dependent persons off the streets who drive under the influence and who receive a DUI. To support this statement, the judge quoted some revered, thoroughly researched alcohol statistics that underlined some of the injurious results that are linked to irresponsible drinking.
Even though Jesse grasped the fact that he drank heavily, he never felt that he was a person who was dependent on alcohol. So it was a rude awakening when Jesse started to have alcohol withdrawal symptoms about seven hours after after getting locked up in the city jail.
To monitor his symptoms of alcohol withdrawal in a safe and secure manner, Jesse was taken to a drug and alcohol treatment center for alcohol detox and then returned to the city jail. While locked up in the local jail Jesse was given alcohol rehabilitation but because he got this rehabilitation as something that was mandated for him, he did not take ownership of his irresponsible and excessive drinking.
When his time behind bars was over, the judge without reservation told Jesse that he would be under rigorous observation and would be mandated to take random blood alcohol tests.
Jessie’s Excessive Drinking Stops Him From Living in a Responsible and Effective Manner
After hearing how Jesse neglected to take ownership of his drinking situation and how he unwillingly followed the treatment modus operandi while in the local jail, the judge knew that it was just a matter of time before he would be seeing Jesse once again in court about his irresponsible and abusive drinking behavior. As the judge reflected on Jesse’s situation, he couldn’t help but think about how some individuals never “connect the dots” and learn how to live in a productive and responsible manner.
