Alcoholism is a disease which spreads to multiple generations and laterally to friends, family, and acquaintances. It spreads through association and influence, and it is the comforter of those long lonely nights when you feel that all is lost. Alcohol is seductive, asking as a friend, when it slowly starves you of your freedom, your sanity, and your joy in life. Even when you have recovered from alcoholism, there is still some lingering. You see, the drinking alone is not what defines alcoholism, but the mentality behind it. Alcoholism is sickening and dark, and it robs you of all of the good things in your life. The mentality and support thereof is the true source and supporter of alcoholism. This is why recovering alcoholics often find themselves still within limited capacity of handling their lives. As long as nothing new comes along, and their lives are not too volatile, they can sustain their sanity. However, it does not take much to tip a former alcoholic over into a problem area through stress and emotional upheaval.
Workplace drug testing exists to help employees who suffer from even lingering alcoholism to maintain their employment and still receive their paycheck and work for you. Even if they are a recovered alcoholic, it still takes time and conscious effort to grow emotional intelligence where there previously was none. During this time, onsite drug and alcohol testing can be a nice, convenient way of making sure that all of your employees stay on track and contribute to your business’ production. Alcoholism may be lingering and the mentality may still be rampant within the individual, but drug testing and alcohol testing are here to stay, and large and small companies are utilizing this tool over and over again, on a regular basis. It is an effective way to maintain operations safely and efficiently.
