Kayla is a thirty-seven-year-old benefits manager who has been consuming alcohol in an abusive and excessive manner since she and her fiancee broke up. In point of fact, for the past three months she has been drinking very nearly two bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking more than a few cans of beer during the day. In short Kayla has been drinking so hazardously that it's a wonder that she hasn't suffered from alcohol withdrawals when she tried to stop drinking.

After feeling discouraged because she was beginning to close her eyes to her health, Kayla at long last told herself that she's had enough, that it's time to quit the self pity routine, that it's time to stop the hazardous drinking, and time to move on with her life. So the following Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, she determined that she would stop drinking completely and suddenly without preparation or planning.

When she called her best pal and informed her that she had quit drinking and that after a few hours she suddenly began having flu-like symptoms, Beth, her best pal, told Kayla to call her healthcare practitioner and explain in a clear manner what was taking place.

Her healthcare practitioner told her that she may be suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms and that she should have someone take her to the emergency room as soon as possible. Obviously her healthcare practitioner had phoned ahead and informed the emergency room medical team to expect Kayla because when she got to the hospital, she was met by two paramedics who immediately told her to sit down in the wheelchair they had with them.

A doctor administered some drugs to lessen the intensity of her flu-like symptoms and also administered some meds to help eliminate the alcohol that was still in her circulation system. After a few hours, Kayla was transferred from the emergency room and wheeled to the recovery room.

After she was in recovery for nearly three-and-a-half hours, Doctor Manning, a drug and alcohol addiction specialist, came to see her. He took his time and explained in laymen's language that Kayla had experienced alcohol withdrawals when she quit drinking due to the fact that she had become addicted to alcohol.

He then mentioned the fact that with heavy drinking on a daily basis, the person's brain gradually gets acclimated to the alcohol in order to perform in a "semi-normal" fashion. When the person then all of a sudden quits drinking, however, the brain takes action by producing alcohol withdrawals. Furthermore, her healthcare practitioner also clearly explained the different alcoholism symptoms that an alcohol addicted person commonly goes through as the disease gets progressively worse as time goes by.

Fortunately for Kayla, it was determined that she was in the first stage of alcohol addiction and, consequently, she obtained a favorable projection for a total recovery if she will get the alcohol addiction treatment she requires.

Kayla told the healthcare professional that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to regain her life and her health. She also stated that she has an outstanding hospitalization plan that will almost certainly pay for most of the costs required for rehabilitation. It was obvious that Kayla was very thankful about her optimistic medical forecast and felt at ease knowing that she will be able to get the alcohol rehab she needs so that she can begin the path to recovery.
