I you know, I like a lot A glass of wine, I don't want to quit altogether, I'd be willing to try cutting that. But now if it's going to, if Dr. Seal would agree to prescribe me something for the anxiety, and it meant that I had to not drink at all, I'd be willing to do that at least for a period of time.
0id
So you'd be willing to stop altogether. That's what was indicated by the physician. Okay. So based on that, how ready are you to do anything right now, whether it's to cut back whether it's to quit?
4crq
Well, again, you know, if if I can get something to help me manage if maybe I can find some other way to deal with the stress, then then you know, I be pretty ready. Again, maybe about an on that scale, maybe an eight.
6cd
Okay, so that's, that's pretty hot there as well. It sounds as though you're pretty motivated to do something about this right now, given any responsibilities given your children learning at this point. And just on lowering anxiety, in general, it sounds and that's one of your goals as well. Well, I'm pretty confident Once you decide to do whatever it is you decide to do, you'll be able to follow through with it. Based on your experience in the past of making behavior changes. I mentioned some things that you can draw upon. What's one thing that you could do? Imagine you thought of some things might help to lower your stress.
1irq
Oh, I you know that the exercise but again, that's that's kind of difficult to fit in right now. I'm hoping that Dr. Seal will prescribe something for me to take when I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed and maybe just having somebody to talk to to bounce some things off of
0id
one of the things we can offer here is for you to come in and talk to one of our behavioral health specialists may be able to help you talk talk through this this area of your life, this area of increased stress and sound like responsibility there and we can make an appointment for you for like before you leave today to talk to somebody
0id
That would be nice
7ack
that also has some information here if you're interested, some pamphlet on alcohol and and how what helps limits on how it may be affected by medications that you take as well. And I wish you lots of luck. It sounds as though you're really committed to making this shift in this change. And I imagine doctors still want to follow up with you and see how you do with your with your change within a few weeks.
0id

1irq
I'm thinking about the therapy, now looking into some therapy lessons.
0id
What what kind of classes are you looking for what exactly?
1irq
drug and alcohol perhaps
0id
Okay. Okay. All right, are you right now today, Are you using any drugs today?
1irq

0id
right. What is your number one drug of choice right now? We wait okay now do you smoke with friends by yourself?
1irq
Yes usually with friends actually.
0id
Okay Do you find yourself doing it at home or do you go out?
1irq
my mom doesn't allow so easily go Parks you know after school or something
0id
and do you feel that that's something that you need to help you function or is it something that you like?
1irq
just it's a habit and helps you relax and honestly keeps me down
0id
Do you go smoke weed with other friends or by yourself?
1irq
Um, I usually go with my other friends because they were that my influences to begin with.
0id
Right Okay, so I mean, do you feel that you need to function or helps you function better Or is it just something that you're just experimenting with? Or what what exactly do you
1irq
It actually helps me function a lot better. And that was not the right choice or anything like that therapy where I can find ways to
0id
Yeah
7ack
how much do you spend in a week or what your, your habit like right now?
1irq
about 200$
0id
That's, you know, pretty much equivalent to about maybe 10 to 10 to 15 hours a day.
3gc
Yeah.
7ack
Okay. All right. Well, you know, you know, what we want to do is just be able to help you maybe create some some steps to help you begin to phase out in time, I wanted to pretty much identify the problem and that's the marijuana would you say? Maybe there's events in your life that trigger your use. Is there something that which I wanted to ask you? What are what's your family structure like right now?
1irq
Um, you know, I get along with my family I have a foster family who was born was born was kind of separated from my biological family. So he kind of put me in foster care. It was like that since I was two years old, and from two to 13 a little bit my two other siblings.
0id
So pretty much should have been raised by your foster parents and your biological parents are not independent. Okay. Now, in your family, how many siblings and your what and what What number are you using?
1irq
I'm actually the only one
0id
so do you feel maybe there was added responsibility put on you or do you know that you live together?
1irq
Right. And so your other four siblings? Where did they go?
1irq
I don't find them
0id
Yes.
7ack
You were raised by your foster parents And how do you feel about that? And how does that make you feel as far as foster?
1irq
I'm just again, my brother when I was in school, and it was a little harsh. A little bit army, but I'm kind of getting over it now. Right? I tried to contact them but it's not working. Right. Yeah.
0id
Yeah.
7ack
Okay. Then also, as you were, you know, living together at home, how are you disciplined? Or who are you disciplined by who discipline?
1irq
My mom, I'm not so much of my dad, he was kind of like that col Relax, right, You know, my mom should discipline it can go from being grounded from overpaying, you know, from show take our equipment like PlayStations or phones or lectron.
0id
So that was pretty much a consequence for your behavior equal to continental. Would you say that mom was consistent? she pretty much disciplined everybody.
1irq
Yeah, yeah. Everybody's saying that
7ack
So growing up, do you feel that discipline helped you?
1irq
Yeah, yeah, the whole drug use, but I think it helped me
0id
kind of set some boundaries.
5yq
Yeah.
7ack
Does your mother know that you smoke marijuana.
5yq
Okay. The reason why I'm asking is because in order for us to help you, we want to be able to develop a good support system. So we want to, you know, maybe in time will include you know, your mom and let her know and you know, getting some help getting some treatment. But that was, you know, some of the questions I had for as far as you know, your family how you were raised. And now tell me a little bit about yourself when you were growing up, were you more of an introvert or an extrovert meaning, you know, without going or you
3gc
more going on to be, you know, in the center spot.. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, make that makes people attention seeker class clown, you know,
3gc
that kind of explains why you know, this conversation has gone well, you pretty much open Now, right now, hopefully British Columbia, you're 20 years old. And do you have any girlfriend?
1irq
I do you have a girlfriend
0id
actually three weeks off to some pretty much Asian.
0id
And do you have How long have you known or how long have you been together ?
1irq
for two months, I've been off and on with girlfriends because it's kind of been, oh, drug use and don't want to deal with it so often on relationships and sometimes single sometimes has been, you know, not that good for me. Right.
0id
yeah
7ack
Did the your partners know that you were smoking or came out?
5yq
Yeah.
7ack
Were you upfront with them or is it something they found out in there? They said, You know, I don't want
5yq
Yeah Yeah exactly
7ack
So some of your choices and some of your decisions that are a consequence, bad choices, decisions,
5yq
Yeah
7ack
okay. So what we want to do is we want to be able to identify, you know, your problem and that's, you know, the marijuana use, maybe what triggers you to go use marijuana and then maybe then begin to identify some of the emotions that are behind it. But you know, you've grown up with six siblings that you all if you go to the same school or your different schools, that becomes a little bit about your, your school history.
1irq
Um, you know, her sister who is one years younger than me, and so we were kind of on the same level right now. Meet her was at the same school for a while, and she got into this class, right, and it's just human to underscore and I was kind of Escobar myself. And I went Rule 70 this was a younger sister. Yes, this one choosing only one years younger.
0id
Now in high school, how did that affect you being moved around seven times? What was your foster parent moving you? Did you move physically your house?
1irq
No, it was actually when I was 13. I was told, you know, 13 more moved from my foster parents. And when I was 13, I went to a group home. Right. So, you know, when I moved from place to place from Groupon, Groupon, this area of the city would vary. So kind of like, the different schools,
0id
right Yeah. So then you had to make a whole new set of friends.
5yq
Exactly.
7ack
And that was the challenge with meeting new friends. Not knowing who You know your friends are what they do. Right? What are some of the subjects that maybe were that came easy to you that you enjoy that were you know what you did well and what some of the areas that you excelled in
1irq
spelling, I suppose in every spelling bee room, everyone, but I wasn't every spelling
0id
so spelling and reading are your strong points. Yeah, that kind of explains why you're cute. You're pretty good. As far as you know, being vocal, you're okay. You'd like to talk to people, you engage well with people. So spelling English, what were some of the classes that maybe you didn't really enjoy? Or you had a challenge with
1irq
math, science
0id
Yeah, okay. All right. What was your relationship with your teachers? And maybe those that some of the peers that you had at the school? I mean, was there any?
1irq
No, I usually I've been dealing with the teachers. Honestly, I was always the class clown. So I'm usually getting kicked out, getting detention, you know, so I didn't really get along with the teachers trying to teach class right stuff.
0id
Okay. So overall today are you pursuing or do you want to further your education
1irq

5yq
Yeah
7ack
Okay. Now, when you were working, how did that make you feel when you're working?
1irq
You know, I got boring at times, obviously And because the Patriots were also really small.
0id
but it was the start?
5yq
Yeah, it was a start.
7ack
Right. And so how did it make you feel good? Because you work for something And then the finished product was your paycheck.
5yq
