Laura presents herself as a no nonsense business professional.She is frank and honest about the events that has brought her to your office.Laura tells you that although she tells herself that she will only have one or two glasses with dinner,she usually finishes the whole bottle . " About five years ago I started having trouble sleeping and started to take a tranquilizer (5 mg Valium) I normally take one or two pills every two to four times a week to help her sleep through the entire night." In the morning she drinks atleast 3 to 4 cups of coffee daiy,even on the weekends. She not ced that her sle eping problems developed around the same time her Dad died. He was only in his early SO's and they were very close. His death hit her hard and she says she wanted to give in to a big depression. However, she fouit andlost herself in her work. She makes it a point to work out atleast three times a week in the morning before going to work.In addftion to the above medication:Laura is also prescribed Xanax as needed for panic attacks and diet pills (amphetamine congeners) to controlher weight, a problem she had since she was a child Over the last year she has become more reclusive. She can barely make it to business dinners and after-work funct ons. Lately however,she has noticed that she has been steadily increasing her use of wine. Before,she would only have a few glasses with dinner but now reports: " ....more often than not I finish off the bottle before going to bed. Ijust can't seem to stop. A lot of times I will come home and tell myself that I'll only have one glas and no more but by the time Igo to bed, the bottle is empty and I'm deciding whether I should open another or not. I never used to drink to excess or take antianxicty medication before. Now I oan..t seem to stop drinl<ing or taking thcec 'downcrc' at cocia/ events. I can't cocm to control when I tal<o them and things arc happening that I'm not too happy about. Of course the alcohol adds to my weight problem which then causes me to take more of my Redux. Then I have to increa my Xanax to calm my nerves and also take my Valium to make sure I get a full night's sleep. It has become a very vicious circle.
