Linda and Frank have been dating one another for six-and-a-half years. They met while enrolled in the same finance class at a relatively large, rural, private liberal arts college located in the Northern part of the United States. While they were for the most part good buddies at first, they eventually started dating when they were in their first year of college.

Because both of them came from very strict backgrounds, neither one of them drank much beyond the casual drinking stage when they first started to date. As the time went by, then again, they began to go to more keg parties, sorority and fraternity parties, football bashes, and happy hours. As a result, they progressively began to drink more as time went by.

After they graduated from college, they both got jobs in a small city that was located about seventy-five miles from their undergraduate college. Then they finally made up their mind to move into the same apartment together.

With any significant change in an individual's life there is regularly something that sets off the specific transformation in question. For Frank and Linda the thought of buying a new house and having children was this "trigger." In short, for the first time in their lives, Frank and Linda began to think about their irresponsible drinking and the long term negative consequences of alcohol on their health. As an illustration, they started to wonder if they would ever experience an alcohol overdose due to their abusive and excessive drinking.

Would their abusive and heavy drinking negatively affect their ability to have children? How would they be able to continue spending so much money on drinking if they were to begin saving for a new house?

From a different perspective, although neither one of them ever suffered from alcohol poisoning, received a "driving under the influence" arrest, or experienced alcohol poisoning symptoms, they realized that their abusive and heavy drinking was becoming a problem that they could not turn their backs on anymore. All of these questions plainly pointed to the same conclusion, namely that Linda and Frank needed to discover that they couldn't continue their abusive and heavy drinking if their aspirations, goals, and dreams were to be completed.

Once they came to this conclusion, they informed their drinking pals about their their marital plans, about their plans to start a family, and about their goal of buying or building a new house. They also told their drinking friends that they still wanted to hang out with them but that they would be drinking in strict moderation from this moment forward so that they could start realizing their future hopes, dreams, and plans.

Surprisingly, all of their friends expressed relief because they too had been deliberating on their lives and concluded that their life-styles were totally centered around drinking. They also understood that they would have to change drastically if they were to become more adult-like and exhibit more respect for their health, their careers, and for their goals in the next five or ten years.

After their heart-to-heart chat with their friends about their aspirations, goals, and dreams, Frank and Linda basically started to have more significant relationships with all of their friends. The fundamental reason for this was the fact that all of them were on the same wave-length regarding their heavy drinking and their relatively short and long-term goals, aspirations, and plans.
