reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah, yeah, relaxed.
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Uh, anything else?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, no, not really. Like I said, I don't drink that much-
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
So, I-I wouldn't be able to tell you.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. And, any not-so-good things about alcohol?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, definitely, yeah. I mean, when I'm at parties and stuff and it's getting a little later, some people, um, that drink-- Like, drank too much, they start throwing up, or they get hurt, or they're really loud and obnoxious, and that's not fun for anybody.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm. So, you've seen a lot of other kids who-
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-had some consequences-
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-and decided that's not for you?
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Got it. I-I can understand that. [chuckles] Uh, any other things that you can think of?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, no, I mean, I've never, you know, been friends with anybody that's gotten into like a serious accident and stuff. It's just-
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-very, like, obnoxious things.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Well, so, you know, as someone who's not 21 yet, it is-- Underage drinking is something that's not legal-
therapist_input
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-and it is something that is considered pretty risky. So, I wonder what you think about that, just in terms of how it fits into your life.
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, I know it's definitely risky, but, I mean, I guess, we still do it. [chuckles]
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Uh-huh. So, it's kind of something that you're—
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
It's just there.
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
It's just there? Okay. And, I'm curious, you mentioned, you know, your friends are important to you, and your family's important to you, and, sort of fitting in is important to you. How does alcohol play a role with that?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, well, definitely not in my family life, because my parents don't really condone-
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-alcohol use, but, friendships, I mean, when I'm hanging out with my friends, or we're at a party or something, there's usually alcohol involved.
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. So, from your family perspective, the drinking is not something that fits very well?
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
And with friends, you feel like it's easier to-to hang out with alcohol, or maybe you wouldn't have as much fun, or your friends wouldn't like you as much or?
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
I guess, I mean, since it's just there.
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
So-
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Got it.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-it ties in with the whole belonging thing.
n/a
sustain
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Well, when you think about your drinking and, sort of, looking forward in 5 years or 10 years, how do you think that drinking might fit in with your life?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, it probably will have a very small role, if any-
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-in my life, considering I have big plans for my future. So.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Can you expand on that a little bit more? What do you mean?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
I mean, I don't think I would be, you know, drinking as much or going to parties as much if I'm studying for school, or in college, or trying to get in law school and things like that.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay, so, the-the alcohol is something that might make it harder to reach your goals?
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah, definitely.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Um, so, when you're sort of looking ahead, how often do you think you might be drinking, say, when you get to college?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, maybe less than I am now. I mean, I don't drink much anyway, so-
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-maybe, like, one drink every once in a blue moon.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. So, you sort of have a plan to cut back on-
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah, definitely.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-your drinking eventually?
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
For sure.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
How might that go?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Well, I mean, I guess right now I would try to stop in high school, and once I get older, maybe just like, socially once in a while, but not anything big or anything.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Yeah, so, you don't feel the need to make any major changes, but you feel like you could make some adjustments that would make it easier or—
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Definitely, yeah. That's a good word.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. How important is it to you to make some adjustments to your drinking, on a scale of 1 to 10? Where 1 is not at all important, not something you're thinking about, and 10 is most important thing.
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Maybe a five or six.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
And why did you say five or six rather than like two or three?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Because, um, it's not something I do not care about at all, but it's not something that's just constantly on my mind that I want to change about myself.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. So, it is something you have thought about or something.
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah, yeah. Definitely.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. And, how confident are you that you could make a change if you decide you wanted to on that same scale?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, I'm pretty confident that I can considering that I'm not really an alcohol user per se.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
I'm not really into that whole scene, so, it's-it's not gonna bedifficult for me.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
So, what number do you think you'd say?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, on a scale of 1 to 10-
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
-if I can quit or not?
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Yeah.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Maybe like an 8 or 9.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay, and why'd you say 8 or 9 rather than even like 5 or 6?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Because, like I said, it's not a big part of my life. So, it's not really that difficult
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. All right. Well, kind of keeping that in mind, it sounds like, um, you do have sort of a-a vague plan to make some adjustments in your drinking at some point-
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yes.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-and, it's moderately important to you. It's something you would like to do because you have these big goals for yourself, and you actually feel very confident that you could be successful with it. What sort of goal do you think might be good to set for today?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, probably to stop, maybe next party I go to, not have a drink at all.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Um, do you feel pretty confident that you could just stop completely?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah. I mean, I can just tell my friends-- My pa-- My friends aren't really that pressuring.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Uh-huh.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
It's just like outside people that I don't really know that well.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
So, I could just tell them, "Hey, I don't feel like having a drink today."
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
What-what might be some benefits of following through with that goal?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, definitely, I'll have like all my senses there and I'll be aware of everything that's going on.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Uh-huh. Anything else?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, health concerns, I guess. I know alcohol is bad for your health.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Mm-hmm.
other
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
So, that would be one.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. So, it's-- It sounds like you're actually pretty comfortable with setting a goal of not drinking anymore a-at least at the next part? and seeing how it goes.
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Do you think it would be all right if we met again to kinda check in on how it goes and-and see if it's working out for you?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah, that would be okay.
n/a
neutral
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
All right, great. And then, i-it sounds like some of the benefits you're expecting are, um, health benefits-
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Yeah.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
-having an easier time with achieving your academic and career goals, and just sort of not having to deal with some of the consequences that your peers do.
reflection
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Right.
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Okay. Well, very good. Um, is there anything else that you think would be important for me to know?
question
n/a
21
reducing alcohol consumption
client
Um, how would you, um, advise me to like get maybe my friends to stop drinking?
n/a
change
21
reducing alcohol consumption
therapist
Oh, that's a great question. So, a lot of times, kids who are trying to cut back, it's harder if their friends are still drinking, and one of the easiest things is trying to have more activities that don't involve alcohol, but-
