Sharon had been engaging in abusive drinking behavior since her senior year in college. Now, five years later, she drank more than ever. One Wednesday evening when she was feeling queasy, Sharon made up her mind to stay home, relax, and watch television. While trying to find a special program to watch that she would find a little out of the ordinary, she without delay became captivated with a special program about young adult and adolescent drinking issues.

The narrator articulated the difference between alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse and then discussed the topic of alcoholic symptoms and alcoholic behavior. When the speaker went into detail about an individual's symptoms of withdrawal and some of the more widespread alcohol addiction symptoms and signs that alcohol addicted individuals exhibit, Sharon got quite worried because it basically seemed as if the speaker was talking specifically to her.

When Sharon read this sign she visibly recognized that drinking had become a significant difficulty in her life because of her lack of energy and also because she stopped pursuing her passions and her goals.

After reflecting on all of these injurious alcoholic signs and symptoms, Sharon at first felt down in the dumps. Then something electrifying took place.
