For the past twenty-six years Carolyn has been a registered nurse at a small trauma hospital. As a professional nurse, she certainly knew what to tell her patients about their health problems but in her personal life, however, she clearly didn't practice what she taught. As an example, she frequently drank quite heavily, she didn't exercise, she smoked at least two packs of cigarettes on an everyday basis, and she was roughly ten pounds overweight.

One day on her way to her job, Carolyn got into an automobile accident. Since the accident was her fault and since her speech was slurred when she talked, the arresting policeman administered a breathalyzer test. According to standard police policy, when an individual gets involved in a traffic accident and fails a breath alcohol test, the person has to spend at least four hours in jail.

In fact, Carolyn should have known better than to drive after she had been drinking because she recently attended an alcohol abuse awareness class at the hospital that focused on information about long term alcohol effects such as the following: binge drinking, alcohol poisoning, DUIs, and the primary differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency.

Needless to say, Carolyn was humiliated by her vehicle accident. Furthermore, she was feeling quite a bit of shame about the fact that the accident was her fault. And perhaps worst of all, she was embarrassed about the fact that she was driving after she ingested a few drinks. As Carolyn contemplated this event, however, she realized how fortunate she was because later in life her drinking problems could have been a lot worse due to the long term effects of alcohol.

In any event, Carolyn's humiliation about her traffic accident motivated her to review her life and make some remarkable and positive changes. First, she was going to quit drinking in an irresponsible and hazardous manner. This would certainly help her avoid long term alcohol abuse. Second, she was going to stop smoking. Third, she was going to go on a diet. And fourth, she was going to start exercising.

As sad and depressed as Carolyn was about the total automobile accident situation, she used this upsetting experience as a trigger for positive change. Furthermore, she used her negative experience as a wake up call that she had been overlooking her own health while she openly told other people how to live a more healthy life. After all had been said and done, she eventually saw the double standard in her behavior and decided that she would live her life as a positive source of affirmation for the patients she treated at the hospital.
