I Need a MIP Class for My Child

As a parent of four teen boys, I expected that sooner or later one of them would get into some type of trouble. I was not prepared, however, to have two of the boys get caught with beer in their trunk. Thank goodness they were not drinking and driving but just having the beer was enough to get them arrested.

My husband and I decided to let them stew overnight in jail. Then, I gave him the privilege of bonding them out. Now, that most of the experience is behind us, they have been ordered to participate in alcohol classes and do some community service to pay back their fines. We found a minor in possession class online. After consulting with the judge and their probation officer, it was agreed that these classes would satisfy the requirement.

I took the class with them for information's sake and found it to be highly educational. The boys have finished and are now off the hook with the legal community. However, now that we are better educated, we will  continue discussing this matter openly at home.

He Has Decided to Change by Taking an Alcohol Class

My husband has decided to change the way that he has been living. He is finally recognizing that he has a drinking problem. I am relieved, I was almost ready to leave him because I could not take it anymore. It took his arrest for driving while drunk (DUI) to make him see that he was drinking too much.

He barely stayed out of jail. He lost his license for a year and has to do community service. He is also required to take alcohol classes. I think that those have made a bigger difference than anything. The classes he is taking are available online and he will go into the room and close the door. When he comes out, I can tell that the class are making an impact. He is apologizing to me regularly and beginning to admit that his drinking was out of control.

Taking My Alcohol Classes Online

Everyone has their moments of weakness and shame. One of mine in the last few years was that I got in trouble for alcohol possession. I was a minor at the time, so to get busted by the cops really complicated my life. It did make me think about things in the long run which is good. Drinking isn't a joke. You could end up behind the wheel of a car and seriously hurting someone or yourself.

I'm glad they allowed me to take my alcohol classes online. It satisfied the court requirements, which was a big help. Taking a class in person would have caused me interfered with my job and college courses.  It's great that out of all this at least they didn't want to ruin my life. They just wanted to help me by teaching me about my behavior and decisions. It's strange but now I can see more clearly how much I was drinking and how much denial I was in.

I don't know if this was one of those those times when you feel grateful for a terrible situation, but being caught, despite how humiliating it was, feels like it has seriously changed my path and I am a better person as a result.

My Cousin Needs an Alcohol Awareness Class

My cousin is 25 years old and she has had a drinking problem from 10 years. My cousin and I are really close and we talk about this problem frequently. I keep telling her to get some professional help but she's reluctant. She says that she wants to, but that she feels embarrassed and is also worried about how much it will cost. I told her there are online alcohol classes that are very affordable and private. If she took an awareness class online she would know exactly how much it would cost and could take it in the privacy of her own home. I really hope my cousin seriously considers this because I can tell that her alcohol problem is getting worse.

An Alcohol Class is a Great Way to Kick off the New Year

An alcohol class may be right for you at this time of your life. Have you resolved to cut down on your drinking? Maybe you find yourself drinking more than you would like. Is alcohol causing problems for you with your health, at home, or work? Or are you just feeling the need to cut back and "detox" yourself from over indulgence.

An alcohol problem can become an addiction. Both can negatively impact your health, relationships, and goals. Be pro-active and fearless by seeking out help for yourself (even if you don't think you need it). Get educated and armed with information.

If attending an in-person alcohol class is not right for you, then you can consider taking an online alcohol class. With an online class, you may be able to get the assistance you need to fit your own unique personal situation. Why not get the support you need to keep your resolutions strong!

We Are Better People Today After Taking an Alcohol Awareness Class

I could smell alcohol on my son's breath a lot more often lately. He is only 20 years old and I was so worried he was going to get in trouble. He caught me crying one day over it and that made him realize that his actions were affecting his entire family. We had a heart-to-heart talk that day and we both found out a lot about each other. I didn't realize he was turning to alcohol because he missed his father, and he didn't know that I missed his father just as much. He had left all of us about three years earlier and we had not dealt with it very well.

We looked online and found alcohol awareness classes for him to take, because he no longer wanted to hurt me or his younger sisters with his behavior. I also found some anger management classes for me to take, and we both are better people today because of it.

He Got Caught Now He Has to Take a Drug Alcohol Class

I have a son in high school who like a lot of high school boys is testing his boundaries and seeing what he can get away with. Last week was a holiday party and he decided that he was going to throw a party at a local hotel.

When the party was broken up by the police, he got a citation for being under age and under the influence of alcohol. The citation came with a pretty hefty fine for someone with no income. It also requires him to attend an alcohol awareness class over two weekends of the month.

I am glad this happened and think it will be a good experience for him. He needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions and that when you make poor decisions you will get poor results. He is really upset about the whole situation but mostly, he is embarrassed. I suggested he take an online alcohol class for privacy but also so he could start immediately.
