[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "Thanks for filling it out. We give this form to everyone once a year regardless of why they come in. It helps us provide better care. Is it okay if I take a look at what you put down?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, let's see. It looks that you put-- You drink alcohol at least four times a week on average-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and you usually have three to four drinks when you do drink." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Usually three drinks and glasses of wine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. That's at least 12 drinks a week." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Something like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Just so you know, my role, um, when we talk about alcohol use, is just to share information about risk and to help patients who want help. This is different than telling them what I think they should do. I don't do that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, what else can you tell me about your drinking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I usually drink when I'm at home trying to unwind and I drink while I'm watching a movie. And sometimes, um, I take a bath but I also drink when I take a bath sometimes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, can I share with you some information on alcohol use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, there has been a lot of research on alcohol use and the guidelines we use in this country says that having seven or more drinks per week can raise the risk of health problems for women." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm. Seven?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Seven." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Wow. I knew my doctor didn't like me drinking the amount that I did but I didn't know that seven was the limit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, you're surprised to hear that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes. What-what kind of health problems?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well things like heart disease, cancer, liver problems, uh, stomach pains, insomnia. Unfortunately, uh, people who drink at a risky level are more likely to be diagnosed with depression and alcohol can make depression worse or harder to treat." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm. Well, that's not good news." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, how do you think your drinking relates to the depression you've experienced?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, to be honest, I drink sometimes when I'm feeling down and I find it more interesting and not so blur." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And how do you feel after you drink?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, then I feel blur again." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, there are some answers on this form here. Uh, less than monthly you drank more than you intended to." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes on occasion." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And sometimes you feel guilty after you drink." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sometimes I just don't like how much I drink. I sometimes finish a bottle in one night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you're not proud of finishing a bottle?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, it's not like I get crazy or anything but I just don't like the amount that I'm drinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. By the way, binge drinking is defined for women as having more than, uh, three drinks and there are about five drinks in a bottle. So, you enjoy drinking wine because it helps make things, uh, a little bit more interesting when you're feeling down but at the same time you don't like drinking when you have more than you want it to and then the depression returns after you drink." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yes, sometimes I feel worse after drinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Where do you wanna go from here? What do you wanna change about your drinking habits?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I don't think that I'm ready to cut down to seven drinks a week. That seems like a lot but I would consider cutting back to two drinks a night. I think that would be my goal." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If I gave you a scale from 0 to 10, 0 being not ready at all to cut back on drinking and 10 being very ready, what number would you be at?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd say an eight." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Why do you think it's not something less like a six?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I'm more ready than a six because I'm ready to cut back on my drinking and I don't wanna make my depression any worse." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What would help you cut back to two drinks?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Maybe having less wine in the house." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Having less wine in the house will help?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What else besides drinking helps you relax and unwind in the evenings?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I like to watch movies, read a book, and take a bath but sometimes I drink when I take a bath." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, it's not just wine that helps you relax. Um, there's reading a book, watching a movie, and taking a hot bath too." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, it sounds like you have some reasons to cut back on drinking and you have ways to relax besides drinking and it sounds like you're pretty ready to cut back." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. I'd be interested to see how well you do on your goal in the next few weeks. Would you be willing to come back and talk to me about it?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. So, let's see how well you're doing with these new meds." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." } ]

[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "And before you leave, uh, is it okay if we go over this screening form that you filled out today on your alcohol use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Uh, thanks for filling this out. Uh, looks like you use alcohol two to three days a week?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, but only on the weekend." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And then when you do drink alcohol, you typically have five or six drinks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Uh, maybe a couple more." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, the reason why I like to talk to patients when they fill out this form is because sometimes, uh, alcohol use can impact our health. Um, and my role is to be helpful. I can share some information with you about alcohol use, um, but I don't tell anyone what to do. It's always up to the patient to decide what they wanna do about their drinking. Um, so is it okay if we talk a little bit more about your alcohol use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "So, uh, are you saying I drink too much?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "How would you define drinking too much?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-- If-if I was getting fallen down drunk or if I drink every night. Um, it's not like I get sloppy drunk or anything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Well, in this country, the guidelines are men can drink up to 14 drinks a week or up to four on one occasion and still be low risk." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So I'm already at the week limit. And then I have four beers a night. Are you sure?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So a limit of four a night doesn't feel right to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I have five or six beers when I go out with friends to a bar. It's not a problem for me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're not alone in feeling that way. Uh, binge drinking can feel normal to some people." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I don't consider my drinking binge drinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Why is that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't chug a lot of beers in a row. I have about five or six beers throughout the entire evening." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Well, technically, we define binge drinking as having more than four drinks on one occasion." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But I'm healthy. What health problems are you talking about?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, uh, we know if someone binge drinks over time, there's kind of two categories of risk. There's the short-term risk where someone who binge drinks is more likely to fall down, hurt themselves through an accident, uh, they're more likely to drive while under the influence. Uh, but over the long term, binge drinking can also, uh, cause things like heart disease, uh, different kinds of cancer, liver problems obviously, and then even mental health issues like depression and anxiety are more likely to happen." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I didn't know about those things." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Can I ask you, uh, what do you like about drinking alcohol?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-I like beer. I like the way it tastes, I like the way it makes me feel. Uh, like when I'm around friends and it's not a problem for me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And so what about your drinking do you not like or is there anything that worries you about your drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, that was fine until I came here, uh, but now that I know about the health risk, uh, I have something I gotta think about." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, on one hand, you like how beer tastes, uh, it's part of your social life to some extent, um, but on the other hand, you don't like the idea of it posing risks to your health over the long term?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "E-exactly." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So weighing those things, you know, what you like about your drinking, what you don't like about your drinking, uh, where do you wanna go from here? Uh, what would you like to change about your drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm, I'm not sure. Uh, something I have to think about." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, how about hypothetically if I were to ask you, how would your drinking have to impact your life in order for you to be ready to change your drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I don't know. Maybe if I got sick or something, uh, maybe I'd wanna change things then." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So if you experienced a negative consequence from your drinking, uh, that would feel meaningful to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, I like to give this handout to patients. Uh, it defines risky drinking, it talks about what the consequences are, uh, and it also lists signs of what an alcohol use disorder is. So thanks again for taking the time to fill this out and being honest with me, uh, to talk about it. I provide better care, uh, when I know about my patient's substance use. When we come back for a three-month follow-up appointment for your ADHD, I'd also like to talk to you and check in about your alcohol use too, if that's okay with you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sounds good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, great. See you next time." } ]

[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hi, John. Nice to see you again. So, tell me, how are things going?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, doc, I know you told me that I need to lose weight. And even though the scale didn't show today, I was able to lose about 5 pounds, but then I gained it right back." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, I appreciate you bringing your weight to the forefront. Do you mind if we explore this issue further?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, by all means. I know we have to discuss it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. Uh, well, it sounds like you've been struggling with your weight recently. And I understand how difficult it is to lose the weight and then have it come back again. So, tell me what you did to lose that initial 5 pounds." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I started watching what I ate and I ate less. I've been eating more fruits and vegetables. I've also been walking a lot. I'm walking up to 20 minutes a day now. I saw the weight come slowly off, um, and I felt better. But then when I watched it come back on again, you know, I gave up." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But you did have some success. Tell me how you felt when you lost the weight." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I felt great and I felt really proud of myself. I thought that this was something that I could do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, it sounds like you realized that when you lost the weight you feel better and that it's gonna affect your overall health. So, tell me what you think changed that caused you to gain the weight back." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I think it's because I've been eating more fruits and vegetables, that- that's it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And how many servings of fruits and vegetables on average per day would you have?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "To be honest, I have four or five -- four to six glasses of orange juice a day. Um, I have fruit for lunch and breakfast. I have, uh, usually one to two servings of a vegetable like lettuce or broccoli with thinner." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "John, it's very important that you recognize that some fruits, but especially fruit juice can contain a huge amount of calories. Did you know that a glass of orange juice has almost as many calories as a can of cola?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I didn't know. Um, but doesn't the fruit- food pyramid classify, um, fruit juice as a- a serving?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're absolutely right, but keep in mind that the food pyramid is to be used as a guideline only. When it comes to nutrition, we have to have a more personalized approach. So I have a hunch, and that is the excess fruit that you were consuming probably caused your weight rebound. What's your impression?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, this changes quite a bit. I mean, here I'm thinking that my fruit intake is making me healthier and actually it's making me fatter." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Indeed. Let me ask you something, knowing what you know now, how important is it to you to lose the weight by decreasing the amount of juice that you're currently taking in?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Obviously, I need to cut back on the fruit juice. But boy, do I love that OJ." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, I understand. Let me ask you this, on a scale from 0 to 10, 0 meaning that there's no way you can do it, and 10 meaning that you're 100% confident that you can do it, how confident are you that you'll be able to reduce the amount of juice you're currently taking in." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, six or seven." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. So, you're not a zero. So, that tells me that you've got some confidence that this is doable, this is something you certainly can do it. Why are you not a zero?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I guess it's because I know that I need to do it to lose the weight." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you realize, again, that if you decrease the amount of juice you're taking in, you're gonna decrease your weight, you're gonna feel better, and you're gonna impact your po- health positively?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But you're also not a 10, and that tells me that there may be some obstacles to your success. What would it take for you to be a 10 or even an 8 or 9?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Getting the fruit juice of the house because I know if it's there I'll drink it. My wife does the shopping for us, so maybe if I ask her not to get the juice, that would solve it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Now, if the juice was still there, can you think of anything else you could do?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I suppose I could replace it with, um, a low-calorie drink or drink more water." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Excellent. John, I get the impression that you want to stay in course with weight reduction. And the best way to do this will be to decrease the amount of juice that you're currently taking in. So if I saw you in two weeks and I asked you how much juice you're t- drinking and how you did it, what would you tell me?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd say I didn't have any and I substituted it with, um, sugar-free drinks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Excellent. Well, it sounds like you have a plan. Same scale, 0 to 10, how confident are you that you can, uh, make this happen?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "A 10." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I agree. All right. Well, you-you know what? I'm not gonna start any medications today. Your levels were a little bit off, but I think we can handle this from a purely lifestyle standpoint. What do you think?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Great. It sounds good to me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Excellent. I'll see you in two weeks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Well see, my-my wife's been getting on me a lot lately about trying to improve my health habits, and I really don't see what the big problem is.

Sometimes I can't come home for dinner, so I'm having to go out to eat at Applebee's or something like that, so-- but she seems to have a bigger problem, I really don't see what the big deal is." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, and so what I'm hearing is that you don't feel like your health is concerning you right now, or anything like that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I-I-I feel fine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, my-my work is really man-manual labor-intensive so I'm usually working out in-in the hot sun the majority of the day, so I'm usually sweating out any like bad things I put in my system, so—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Have you noticed putting on any weight, or anything like--?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, a little bit, but nothing too-- you know. I'm not blo- I'm not bloated or anything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Okay. And how about going to see the doctor? Have you gone to-- for a visit or anything recently?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, yeah, I've been to the doctor about maybe last year for a physical, but-- I mean, everything showed up to be fine, so—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. But you feel that you feel good?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Um, and so what I hear is that you're-- you feel like your wife might be, uh, overreacting to this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, not really overreacting. I know that she loves me and I know she-she wants me, uh, you know, live a long time and be healthy, but just sometimes, especially if you work a hard job, like kinda going out to eat at these places kinda makes you feel a little bit better about your situation." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. Sure. Okay. Um, and so one thing I'd just like to do is maybe give you some information on, um, maybe obesity or diabetes if you're interested or open to that. If you're, you know--?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure. [unintelligible 00:01:33]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Good." } ]

So, what did you say to Donna?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "[clears throat] Oh, I just said-- I said, \"Uh, could you give me a hand with this?\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And, like, she filled them up for me, and I told her what to write." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, where did you get to in terms of telling her that, uh, reading and writing is not that [unintelligible 00:27:23] for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just-- I-I asked her to fill that out for me because I said I'd be too messy." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, I was thinking about how that stuff about not feeling confident around reading and writing has, um, really got in the way for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And I mentioned that's somewhere where you don't feel so confident, and I'm wondering what it would be like to feel confident with reading and writing.

Yeah, I can really see that you're making an effort. In fact, I can see that you're really making an effort in lots of areas, not just in terms of reading and writing." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Like [unintelligible 00:28:13] if I'd got into polytech and stuff, so I think that's good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, where are the forms now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "They're still at home." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. If—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, what needs to happen next?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just take them in." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you actually have to deliver them to the polytech, do you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Uh, I think you can post them, but I'll just drop them in." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So, when do you think you're gonna do that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, probably by the end of this week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So, by the end of this week, so by next time, when you come here, as in, those forms will be at the polytech?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And what-what happens next in terms of what happens once the forms are there?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I don't know if you have to interview or whatever, but I guess, course-- I don't even know any course that I'll do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So what's the- what's the-- Say, if you get on the course-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and, um, you're, like, real good with, uh, hands-on stuff, but the stuff around the manuals, and the assignments, and those sorts of things, um, don't feel so good. What-what do you think we need to do around helping you with that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, um-- Well, I don't know. Hopefully, there's not so much of that stuff. Um, oh, well, I don't know. I could find out maybe someone who can help you, like, at the school, at the polytech, maybe somebody can help you out and stuff, or there might be computers there or something." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. Yeah?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, all these changes that you've- that you've made, um, Billy, where-where is the offending fitting into all of that now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Not really fitting in. It kind of just gets in the way." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, offending gets in the way of the life that you're starting to lead?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah? So, what temptations have you had to, kind of, go back to offending?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like like getting on the piss, but with Donna, there kind of keeps me busy." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. So the drinking is something that we talked about can make it easier for you to offend." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you've noticed that when you've been drinking that those feelings are coming back again, or?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I just wanna have a bit of a laugh and like go smash some windows or go and nick a car or something, but yeah. It's kind of harder to think straight." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's harder to think straight when you've been drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. And so you've got Donna around at the moment?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And that's helping keep you in check, as you said?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. What would happen if she wasn't around say or at a party or?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd probably just go be stupid with my mates." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So Donna at the moment who kind of being there is like a strength?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. 'Cause if there's just like if a mate said they're gonna go out and pick a car or something, she just bumps them out and then-then I don't know. She say that's stupid and stuff. And I don't know. It gives me something to do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. What do you think?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just kind of stupid. Well, it's pointless, but still a bit of a laugh." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. Yeah. 'Cause I was thinking about that dream that you've got about the job and a life with Donna and-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-kids and stuff like that and how you were saying that the offending doesn't fit in with that dream or that idea." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So there's that on the one hand, but on the other hand, there's the kind of immediate, um, feeling when you've had a few to drink and you're with your mates and it feels like it would be a bit of a laugh?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you've got-got those two things going on at the same time. Yeah?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it sounds like sometimes when you're in there with your mates and had a few drinks, it's hard to hold on to that vision of the future." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. You don't really think about that. Well, just in the moment." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So what-wh-- in the moment, what are you thinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just have a bit of fun. Not really thinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Not really thinking or simply not thinking beyond the next-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-kind of minute or so-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. Just, like, it's not normally my idea, like someone else would just suggest it and you kind of just, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So it's not your idea. And you also go along with it?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. You can't really be like, \"Oh no,\" just give me shit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. What would happen if you say no?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just like, it can be shit and I still do it. They just-just call me a pussy or whatever and I don't know. And they'd talk me into it probably." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So it's hard to actually say no to your friends-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-'cause of what they- what they thought of you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "They'd just think I was joking, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So I'm wondering what the-the thinking, 'cause, um, one of the things that's really changed for you is being with Donna." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So I'm wondering, you know, most of them butt-butts head on your friendships with those- with those guys." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't see them as much, but like she gets along with them aye, so-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't think, like, I am not sure they like it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Then so when you're-- so you're spending less time with them and more time with Donna?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. And you're saying you're kind of hanging out with her and going to movies and stuff? Yeah. And that means you're spending less time with your-- with those people that have actually led you in trouble in the past?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "They don't lead me into trouble. But-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So tell me- tell me what it is that they do so I get a better understanding of it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, like it's my choice though, they don't make me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I know it's just having grown up with, it's just what we've always done." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So that's just what you've always done." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But we're also talking about this idea that it doesn't fit with what your goals are or what your hopes are?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Mm. How would you like it to be?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "My life? Well, what do you mean?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm, well the stuff about when you're in the moment. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "When you've had a few drinks and you kind of go and get into trouble. How would you like that to be different?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. Just more or less like if Donna was there and maybe if my mates got some girlfriends or something like that would calm them down too." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So just hang out instead of go and do stuff, like stupid stuff." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So-so Donna's helped calm you down and you'd like, um, them to calm down too?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, 'cause then we could hang out together and stuff-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-with our girlfriends and stuff." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So am I hearing that it's tricky in some ways to hang out with them sometimes-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-now that you're with Donna?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Cause I like I feel guilty not spending my time with, yeah, Donna. Like, I miss my mates, like, I get lonely and stuff, but even though they get me into trouble, but-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-just, kind of, feel stoked that-that I see them on the weekends and stuff." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So-so what's the definition, for you, of a good mate?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's, like, loyal-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-yes, someone who's got my back." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, someone who's loyal, someone who's got your back, yeah? What else? What else is really your definition of a really good mate?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That's about it. It's-- yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Someone who'll stand up for you." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, so, someone who'll stand up for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah? Yeah. Sounds like a really strong definition of a good mate-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-for you? So, I'm wondering about, um, whether good mates lead you into trouble, if it's something you wanna do. If you got something different that you wanna do, what would a good mate do in that situation?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, support me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. How-how would you wanna be supported, Billy?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just don't give me shit about, I don't know. Um, yeah, just, if I- if I don't wanna go do something, don't, like, don't give me shit about it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. Okay, so that's-that's the kind of support that a really good mate would give you? It sounds-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-like these guys have been around for you-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah, they [unintelligible 00:36:38]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-for quite some time, and they're really important to you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Okay. So, I'm wondering how we can get to that point where, yeah, you can say, \"No, I don't wanna do that,\" and they're supportive of you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What do you think it would take?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just they know that I'm serious." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, how would they know you're serious?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I guess, like, if they actually know I'm going to polytech and stuff that they might understand." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But, like I feel guilty if they wanna go and have fun, and I'm not with them." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. That's the second time you've used that word 'guilty'." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah? So, it sounds like it's a really-- something's really important to you about that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Like, just going out with them or spending some times with them-- time with them, but, like, I really wanna spend time with Donna too-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-so, it'd be cool if we could spend time together, like, with Donna and my mates." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, it's almost as if you feel a bit torn because you wanna be with Donna, but you also wanna be with your-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-with your mates?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, like-- Well, I know I get into trouble with them, but they're still my mates, and I-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-feel--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, so they're still important to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm.

Yeah, well, the only reason I'm here is 'cause my wife thinks I've got a problem with smoking. I've been smoking all my life and, uh, six months ago, uh, she thought, she got into this health kick, right? And now everyone who smokes is evil. And, uh, so that's why I'm here just to please her, get her off my back and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you're not too happy to be here. This is the last thing that you want to be doing this afternoon." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. That's an understatement. I mean, I'm supposed to be at work right now, too, right? So-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You've taken time off you, it's costing you time and money being here." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah. I'm only here because my wife forced me to come, you know. Like this has come to a head six months of just nagging me, relentless every day, because she was able to quit smoking and now I have to quit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, let me ask you this, Bob, what are some of your wife's concerns about your smoking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, she's concerned about my health and she cuts out all these articles from the paper about second-hand smoke and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Wow, that she's been showing you and making you read." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I've got to read this. That's my reading assignment for breakfast and I want to go out and have-- We used to go out and have a cigarette together at the table. Now I have to go outside in this weather, you know, what's that about? And she used to smoke more than me and now she's like holier than now?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you're pretty angry about it. It's pretty outraging that you're forced to change your whole life because of a decision she made six months ago." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And she's got my kids on this against me, you know, my son and my daughter, they're, it's like, they're ganging up on me, you know what I mean?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, from your perspective, do you see any consequences to your smoking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, the big one of course is how it's affecting my wife and the family. Like my dad's 85, he still smokes. I mean, yeah, you know, sometimes I thought of quitting, but I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I can-- I don't know if I can quit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, let me make sure I understand kind of the whole scenario 'cause there's a lot of pieces to it. Your wife is on your case and your kids are ganging up too. So, you're sort of isolated, you're put in a corner and you're being told this is something you have to do, you have no choice in the matter." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You have a few concerns about your health, but that's not really the driving force. It sounds like it's most of all that it would be nice if things just went back to the way they were before she quit smoking and that all of this stuff wasn't something that you had to deal with anymore. Does that pretty much sum up--?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. I-I'm just, I don't want to lose her or my family over smoking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I get the feeling that your relationship is really important to you. That you would do anything." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, yeah, I mean, we've been married over 25 years, and uh, we've never had any major problems. Like this is-- this is the first problem. I don't even really see it as a problem cause we used to both smoke and I was trying to accommodate them by smoking outside, but it's feeling like we're going like this and I'm just concerned, like if this keeps going, like." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, it strikes me that the way that we're talking about it, it's like it's all or nothing. Either you keep smoking the way you are, things continue to go downhill and get worse, your wife gets more and more on your case, or you put your cigarettes down starting the moment you walk in the door tonight and never pick them up again. It's almost like one or the other. It strikes me that as well there might be some middle ground here that it took you a long time to learn how to be a smoker and maybe it's going to take some time to learn how to stop smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So, I can actually do it that way like gradual taber?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "There are some medications and some different approaches that we can use that aren't so abrupt. Recognizing that it-it's going to take some time and practice to get to where you might want to be." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I wish my wife could have come today cause she's feels after like, just stop like right away. So do you think she could come with me at a future appointment or something and she could hear that message?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If you wanted to bring your wife along, I'd be more than happy to talk with both of you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay.

Well, I'm concerned about the amount that you're drinking currently. It sounds like you're having about 15 to 20 drinks per week, and that's definitely more than what we would recommend and could certainly be contributing to your high blood pressure." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-- you know, my pressure has been high for years and, um, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, according to your chart, your blood pressure has gone up since July, and you said that you've been drinking more recently, so do you see the connection there?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Maybe a little bit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alcohol can have some dangerous effects on your body. So along with contributing to high blood pressure, it can have a big impact on your liver, which you need to keep in mind. So your liver has several different roles in your body. First, it helps process excess fatty acids before they get distributed to the rest of your body. It also helps process alcohol and other drugs. So when you have an excess of alcohol, your liver can't work as efficiently and the fatty acids build up, and over time, your liver won't be able to work as well." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And how about the use of other drugs like cocaine, heroin, marijuana?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't use heroin or cocaine. I've never even thought about using the hard drugs.

Have you ever used any prescription medications that weren't prescribed for you or in a way that wasn't prescribed?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I don't- I don't, uh, really like the idea of taking pills. Uh, as a matter of fact, a couple of years ago, I had this jaw surgery. They gave me a prescription for Percocet. I took one, maybe feel weird. I think they're still sitting in the medicine cabinet." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, excellent. Well, it sounds to me like the increase in your drinking could certainly be contributing to your high blood pressure. I think decreasing the number of drinks that you have when you go out and maybe decreasing the number of times that you go to the bar each week could be the best thing that you can do for your health." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I guess I'll try." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And then we'll set up an appointment for about a month from now.

Well, that's the time when you can relax and unwind." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, exactly. You know, I told you, my-my schedule is kinda crazy right now.

Where do you see yourself on that scale?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, maybe like a five." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "About a five. So you're halfway there. So why did you choose a five rather than a four?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, you brought up some kinda scary stuff like, you know, cancer risk or other things like that.

So given, the fact that these healthcare concerns are a possibility, and that you're worried about your family and you certainly have goals you want to succeed at, where are you in your consideration to making a change? In other words, what steps would you consider taking for this number to move closer to a 10?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, I could maybe try to cut back in the evenings a little bit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, great. Let's quantify that a little bit. So how many cigarettes would that be?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, right now, if I'm having like five or six, I could try to smoke three in the evening plus, you know, still the couple during the day." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So you-- that's cutting back quite a bit. That's a big step.

Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, good. So we can go over your laboratory results at that time, as well as review your plan. Now, would you like some information on smoking cessation?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I-I think that would be very helpful." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, I've got a brochure here and this has-- it's a really good brochure. It has some distraction techniques in it in case you get those nicotine cravings. So it's-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-been helpful, um, in-- with patients before.

I mean, I had chickenpox as a kid, and now I'm immune. Right? So." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's right. Having chickenpox as a child means that you are less likely to have chickenpox as an adult because you've developed a-a natural immunity. Uh, but is it okay if I offer you a little bit more information about the other vaccines that we're- we were going to give her Lily today?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, uh, before vaccines were developed, often when children had a natural exposure to some of these diseases, they ended up with, uh, sometimes death, disability, measles caused brain damage and, uh, deafness and blindness. Polio caused, uh, paralysis in children. And so, allowing children to have natural exposure to these diseases, sometimes was a little bit of a gamble, it could be dangerous." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Wow, I didn't realize it was so dangerous. I've never heard of polio." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm. Some of these things I've mentioned to you, you're-you're not familiar with. Uh, and I think that's because we've done such a good job of eliminating some of these diseases that a lot of people your age, and even my age, are unfamiliar with those things. Um, so having shared this information with you, what do you think about the idea of vaccines for-for Lilly?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I guess it's okay. I mean, I just I want her to be healthy and safe." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's really important for you to make sure that she's protected and that you make good decisions and do your research before you make any medical decisions for her." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I just want to do what's right." } ]

So, what would help increase that confidence? What-- Because that sounds like where we really need to focus on. What's gonna help you feel more confident about this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't even really know-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-honestly.

Well, if it's okay, just for a moment, let's put the- let's put the changing the eating pattern off to the side, and let's take a look at some other time in your life that there was something you really wanted to accomplish and you did.

What kind of strengths did you bring to the table that allowed you to tackle something that felt like a challenge and-and allowed you to be successful?" } ]

[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "Can I help you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah. I just got off work, and apparently, they're going smoke-free, so I'm-- I-I thought I'd stop by the pharmacy here and see what my options are. Some of my friends have tried nicotine patches and the-- they say they don't work really well. I don't really wanna quit smoking, I just need something to get me through the day." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you want nicotine replacement, but you don't wanna quit smoking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Maybe like da-- during the day nicotine replacement. Is that-- I mean, do you have anything like that?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "We don't really recommend that. The idea is you would use the nicotine replacement to actually quit, so then you wouldn't be smoking at work, but you also wouldn't be smoking the rest of the time either." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I don't really wanna quit. I mean, I like smoking. I like go-- after work, I have a beer with my friends, and I'll smoke cigarettes. I mean, it's not really a big deal. Cigarettes aren't that bad. I mean, I know that the-- it's popular to say that smoking is bad for you but, you know, I like it, so I'm gonna be doing it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, smoking really is really bad for you, you know. It causes things like lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah. Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-oral diseases." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. Well, what are my options? You know, assuming that I'm right, what are my options?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, to be honest with you, you mentioned the patch. I can't recommend a patch to you if you're gonna continue smoking. That can actually be pretty dangerous for you. In order to advise you about this at all, I need you to tell me a little bit more about your smoking history and how much you're smoking now." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, I s-- I-I-I smoke barely a pack a day. I mean, I've probably smoked for about five or six years now. It's not really a lot of cigarettes, but it's sort of hard to get through the day at work." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, we actually consider 20 cigarettes a day to be a significant amount, and in fact, I would then recommend to you that you would start on the highest dose of nicotine replacement." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sounds good to me. The more nicotine, the better. Is it like gum or something? Could I chew it like while I'm in the office? That sounds pretty great. I mean, do you have—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, there are some products that you could use to take away some of your cravings, and probably the gum would be the best option for you. It's not something you would continue to use continuously throughout the day, however, but gum is something you use just when you have a craving." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh. Okay. Well, where is that?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, we have that here, but again, the-the idea would be for you to actually quit smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-- [sighs] I'm probably not gonna buy anything today. I mean, I just came by to see what my options are. I-- if-- thanks for the input. I mean, do you have anything else, do you have any other advice for me?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, aside from the gum, you could try the nicotine lozenge, that would be another option for you. Again, that's not something you'd wanna use continuously throughout the day. The nicotine patch is the best for continuous nicotine replacement, but again, that's not something you can use while you're continuing to smoke." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, well. Okay. Well, thanks. I mean, I guess that helps a little bit. I'll-- maybe I'll be back later. Thanks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." } ]

Um, I get- I get support with-- my whānau is really supportive, but I'm- I'm worried about losing- I'm worried about losing my freedom. I'm worried about, um, about them taking over, or, you know what I mean? I have a freedom where I am now, I'm in charge of myself. That would probably be really good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "In terms of that freedom and in charge of yourself, and the changes that we're talking about, and building your own family, and to enable you to do that, where do some of that freedom stuff sit with re-engaging back with your whānau and your children, your partner? Is it something you're gonna wanna hang on to, or how you're going to manage that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't wanna hang on to freedom if it this- if it means that I lose my kids. Um, I'm just, uh, I'm just worried about-- I'm worried about if I move in with family, that they, even if their intentions are good-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know.

How about in the last year?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, not really anything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And how often do you have a drink containing alcohol?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, a few times a week. Uh, Wednesdays, I'll go to happy hour and have about two or three. And then, um, Thursdays, seven, um, seven or eight. Fridays, probably just a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Um, but Saturdays are bigger night. And I would probably have a few drinks before I went to the bar. And then have four or five at when-when I was out. So—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So it sounds like you're drinking about four times a week, anywhere between three and eight drinks on a given day. So, maybe around 20 drinks a week?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I guess, it sounds like a lot when you say [chuckles] like that. But yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Do you use any street drugs like any marijuana, cocaine, heroin?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. I-I smoked weed in college, but just a little bit. I wasn't a regular smoker." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Do you, um, do you ever use any prescription medicines that were not prescribed for you, or ever use your own prescriptions in a way on which they were not prescribed?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, you know, as we said before, you're drinking-- it sounds like you're drinking about 20 drinks a week, over the course of a few days. And I did want to point out to you that the recommended limit for women is actually no more than seven drinks a week, and no more than three on a given day." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you're doing more than that right now. And when you drink more than this amount, it puts you at risk for a number of things, okay? Things like greater risk of injury, damage to different parts of your body, um, just a bunch of different problems. And, uh-- so I'm going to recommend that you cut down- cut down that amount to the recommended limit. Again, that's no more than seven drinks a week and no more than three on a given day. Do you think you could do that? Would that be a good goal for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That's a lot to change. I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, I know that making changes isn't always easy. But when you drink more than what's recommended, it creates problems. You know, you said you hurt your ankle when you came out of the bar this time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, the stairs were really steep. So—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Well, it's possible you strained your ankle as a result of the alcohol. You know, it can actually affect your balance and stability. So, really, you know, for where you are right now, you're drinking a good amount more than what's recommended. And, you know, I want you to be healthy. And I don't want to see you coming back in here for something else. So I'm really gonna recommend that you try to cut down to that amount. So, do you think you could do that, cut down to no more than three drinks on a given day?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Where are these limits from? Um, old- an older population? Because, uh, I drink just as much as my friends do. I mean, everybody drinks like I drink. I'm not even the biggest drinker in my group. So I'm pretty middle of the road." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, it sounds like, you know, the amount you drink is pretty normal-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-amongst the people you typically drink with. But these limits are-- they're actually recommended for all adults. And studies have shown that when you drink more than this, it creates a bunch of problems like we talked about. So, you know, why do you think you drink the amount you drink?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. It's what we do. It's-- this is how we have fun, I guess. It is fun." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, I think you can still have fun within these amounts. So that's what I'm gonna recommend. Um, I think this is a really good goal, and hopefully, we won't see any more injuries. Okay? So why don't you try that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. Thank you so much." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Thanks." } ]

So how confident are you that you can get those sorted in the nine months we've got?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't think there is much to sort.

A few times a week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know.

So how many times would you have walked away with money in your pocket after, any out of the 12, what's your- what's your sense?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. A few times, probably when I have it, I might drink a drink." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Okay. So you're saying about 50-50?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'Cause you have to understand the odds are about-- sort of-of tend to be about 25% on the 100, that-that's [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's the unlucky ones." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, you might be lucky then.

So what happens in your body when, um—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "A bit of a rush, I suppose." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A bit of a rush. Yeah.

She'll-she'll-- she goes to the pubs with you probably and see you putting the money on pokies, what would she reckon?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, no friends or friends should-- She accepts me for who I am." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Absolutely, and that's what you want from friends, isn't it?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You want that acceptance, absolutely, yeah, yeah.

So I want- I want to hear much that it might have been a good thing that you got caught at this stage, and you got a chance to do some talking about it and working around some strategies to get it under control so it doesn't control you.

And then, as we work together, you know, we-- there might be some other ways we look at it and see it too, you know, that-that's part of working together. So, I'm wondering, how open are you to, you know, seeing this situation from lots of different angles?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I'm usually an open person.

So, what other things have you've been open to at other times in your life when you've been open to-to new ideas and being able to talk about stuff, that may be tough to talk about?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I am just usually pretty open with people. It's a bit different here tonight and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-just not knowing what to expect then—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, and-and, coming in, talking to a stranger, you know, and someone who can be honest to what you did, talking to a stranger, coming in this time, what do you sense about how you're doing so far?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I suppose I'm saying that the money did add up, and that was enough for me to end up here, so-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-I suppose I'm here for a reason. [chuckles]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. You know, like-- I-- And, some people wouldn't even, sort of, get in the door or wouldn't be as open as you've been today, okay, to an extent, so, you know, like I said, good on you, yeah. You know, being able to-- It's hard to come to a place like this and start to really open up, so, you know, you've just shown that you can do that. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I didn't have a choice. [chuckles]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you have a choice about what you open up to me about. Absolutely, you have a choice about that, yeah. That coming, being on sentence, no, you don't have a choice about that, um, well, you have a choice, 'cause, I mean, you can choose not to come, and you'll be breached and get to head back to court." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, but you do have a choice about how you are here when we meet, and what-what we talk about here. So, um, you know, so you do have lots of choices within that. And, my sense is you're, sort of, you know, a young woman who will make some good choices about that 'cause you're not a bad person, and you know that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." } ]

I'm a little bit concerned looking through his chart of how many ear infections he's had recently. And I-I noticed that you had checked the box that someone's smoking in the home. So I was wondering if you can tell me a little more about that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, um, It's just me and him and I do smoke. Um, I try really hard not to smoke around him, but I-I've been smoking for 10 years except when I was pregnant with him. But it-- everything is so stressful being a single mom and-and my having a full-time job. And so it's just-- that's why I started smoking again." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You have a lot of things going on and smoking's kind of a way to relax and destress." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Some people have a glass of wine. I have a cigarette." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. And it sounds like you're trying not to smoke around him. Why did you make that decision?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I know it's not good for him. I mean, I've read those things about ear infections and asthma and stuff and-and, uh, but other kids have ear infections and their parents don't smoke." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So on the one hand, you're worried about how your smoking might be affecting him and on the other hand, you're not so sure if it's really the smoking that's causing these problems?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't have asthma. Yeah. He-- I don't-- he hasn't had a lot of other problems that his other friends have, so. And I've thought about quitting before in the past, but I just don't- I just don't see how it's possible right now." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What made you decide to quit smoking when you were pregnant?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, he was inside me and we were sharing everything and I knew that he would get some of that. And I didn't-- I just didn't-didn't think I could live with myself if something happened to him." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right now, though, it feels almost too difficult to even manage or even to try?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, exactly." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "How were you successful when you quit before?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I-I think about it now, I don't even know how I did it. I just- I just did it. You know, I just- I just couldn't imagine like him not being born or going into labor early-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and-and him having problems and stuff like that, all the stuff that they talk about with women who smoke. So I-- that was just enough to-to say, \"Okay, you know what, I'm-I'm not going to risk that.\" so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. The risks were so scary then that you were able to stop?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But they don't feel as scary to you now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I mean, we're two separate people.

But it sounds to me too like part of you really does want to quit?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I-I know that I need to, and I, you know, keep every new year I say, \"Okay, this year I'm gonna quit smoking\" but then something happens and it-it just doesn't. And quitting doesn't happen." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's on your to-do list. It's just not making it to the top?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If you did decide to quit on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is not at all confident, and you don't think you could do it and 10 is you feel pretty certain that you could, where do you think you fall right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably like a 5 . Kind of in the unsure area. Like I know I've done it before, so I know I can do it, but at the same time, it just seems really hard. And it's not the same situation." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, what made you say five rather than two or three?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I know- I know all the ways it's bad for me. And I don't want him to grow up thinking that it's okay to smoke. I don't want him to-to use any kind of-- I don't want him to chew or anything like that. Um, so I know I need to, especially before he gets old enough to understand what mommy's doing, but I just don't know if I can do it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay.

I-I'd like some help. I just don't know what kind of help I need." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. Well, if you'd be interested, that's something I can definitely talk to you about. There are a lot of new options that can actually help people be way more successful in their attempt at quitting. There's different medications you can try." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't like medicine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. There's also a lot of support groups and classes that you can take where you have other people to go through it with you. And sometimes just having that support can be a big part of it, especially for people like you where smoking is such a stress reliever." }, { "from": "human", "value": "That sounds nice, but I'm not sure if I have the time for all that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. It feels like something that would take up a lot of time and maybe not fit into your life. I wonder if we could talk about some options that might fit into your life." }, { "from": "human", "value": "That would be really nice." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, if you're willing, then we could set up another appointment where you could come in and we could talk more about that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I would like that.

So." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Can you expand on that a little bit more?

So, it's not really that difficult" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. All right.

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?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, that would be okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right, great.

So, some of the things that can be useful if you're at a party say, um, and there's already alcohol there, and there are other kids that maybe aren't your closest friends, um, some of the things that I would recommend since you're interested are, you know, carrying around a different drink that looks like it has alcohol in it. So, you know, even carrying an empty beer bottle or beer can or, you know, if people are having a mixed drink, just having the coke, say-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-without any alcohol mixed into it.

Do you think any of those things might work for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, for sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. What about in terms of talking to your friends about it, have you thought about how you might approach with them or is that something else you'd like some tips about, about telling them about your plan to-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-to stop drinking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-I was just planning on telling them that I don't really want to drink anymore.

Anything else I can help with?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. No, I think I'm okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So then, like I said, um, I'll try and see if we can meet up maybe in a few weeks and see how it's going-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and then, um, if things are going great, then fantastic, and if you run into any stumbling blocks, then we can maybe problem-solve together." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, great.

It's like when I'm trying to kind of- would do an event or something where there's a lot of people there, not just photographers, but actual, you know, if I'm like taking places with people that I don't know, I just kind of find myself saying, you know, I mean, I want to do them, but just is scary. So I just don't do it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So I guess, tell me a bit more about what happens then. So let's focus on maybe an invitation to do a job with, uh, you know, it's going to involve, uh, photography with- with a group of people and you're going to have to have social interaction. What kind of thoughts go through your head?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, just, I mean, I get really hot and sweaty, and I don't-- I feel like everyone's kind of looking at me and thinking that I'm just like really stupid, and I feel like they're all going to be staring and thinking, I just can't do my job. And I'm just an idiot. And I mean, they'll think that I just look like a weirdo and I just try and-- I mean, I just kind of just try and get out of the situation or just focus on something else. So that's why I like doing shots where it's just me and the camera 'cause I- then I can just put all my attention on that instead of having to, you know, be with other people." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So it sounds like you have quite a lot of thoughts rushing through your head then at the point where you get that invitation and you think, \"People will look, people will stare, people will think I'm a weirdo.\" So there's quite a lot about what you- what you think other the people will think. And how does that make you feel?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, just makes me feel like an idiot, makes me feel like I just shouldn't even bother trying to do it anymore. I should just go home and I just-- I think I just don't want to be in that situation. I just feel like everyone else is fine and they're normal and I'm just the freak, you can't, like do normal things and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay.

I was doing a job where it was kind of like a- a Nature issue and I was having to work with a lot of different people. Um, and, um, when they told me about the job, I thought it would be fine. I thought it was just going to be a few other photographers, but there were actually people and, you know, I was taking photos of people kind of in the trees and stuff like that. And I guess- they asked me to, um—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's quite interesting. Was that a fashion shoot or something?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. It was a fashion thing. I think it was for some kind of-- I'm not sure if it was a campaign or something, but, it was-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, it was, yeah, it was really cool, but I find it- found it really hard to try and focus on that 'cause I was so- I was kind of feeling really anxious and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So it wasn't what you expected?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So how long ago was that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That was two weeks ago." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So it was quite recent." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So on that particular day, what were the thoughts that you had in your head when you were in that situation?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I just felt really- just really kind of hot. I couldn't really breathe and just felt like I wanted to just get out. And I was kind of trying really, really hard to just focus, and just, you know, like kind of hold the camera and just not think about anything, but I just felt like everyone was looking at me and like, when they'd say 'action' and they're trying to get me to start and I was just felt like everyone was just thinking I was really stupid and I shouldn't have been there and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I can tell you're getting kind of anxious, even just thinking about that day." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So you're describing quite a lot there to me. So you're saying that you, you kind of got hot and sweaty, you said that you- you held the camera." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "W-what was, do you mean you kind of try to hide behind it or?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I was just trying to focus on it. I was just thinking if I could just hold it really tightly, it would just-- I don't know. I'd kind of just be able to just get through it and just focus." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you're holding the camera very tightly." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "W-why was that? Why was that helpful?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Cause I felt like I was getting really like hot and flushed and I just thought, at least if I can just-- I don't know. It sounds weird, but I was just trying to keep my hands still on it. 'Cause my hands were kind of sweaty and like shaking like loads, like, and I could just tell everyone was looking and they could see, and I just thought if I just managed to hold onto it, it wouldn't be as noticeable, but—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, okay. So it sounds like you had a lot of thoughts going through your head. Um, you said that you're worried that everyone's looking at you. What other thoughts were there that were in your mind?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just-- I was just, just stupid and it was just really-- just felt really like kind of- like everyone was just going to be staring and just thinking that I-- Like- I just felt like everyone was looking at me and just, they could tell. And then just thinking of what was she doing?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "They could tell what—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I was just really like sweaty and just—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, it was all-all that they could see that-that was-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, um, I was trying to wear black so this kind of tries to cover it up and just like a lot of layers, so they can't tell but, I mean, my hands, like, they were so shaken. I was really red and just was-- Just wishing that I just wasn't there." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, I mean, you've already described it to me a little bit, but if you think about how you looked that day, how'd-how'd you say, how'd you think you looked?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think just very stupid and, like, I think my face was really red. I could feel it flushing and I knew that I'd- I was probably sweating and shaking, like my hands were definitely really really shaking. Um, and af-- it was, like definitely really noticeable. Everyone could definitely see." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay and what-what did you do about-- How did you try and conceal that or hide that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, I again was trying to grip the camera, just look down, just trying not to do anything weird or-- 'Cause, I mean, they could probably tell I was being weird anyway, but hopefully if-- I just- I just tried really hard to just focus and look down, not trying, like not kind-- look at anyone else and just, yeah, just kind of trying get on with it as best as I could, but—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you avoided looking at people. It sounds like you wore black as well in kind of preparation anyway." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, no, I-I always do that even if it's really hot or I wear just loads of layers and just 'cause otherwise I- I'll just be really sweaty and like, people would definitely be able to see, so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay and how did it end?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, it kind of went on for like an hour or so, and then, um, people were going, um, just a-after every shoot people go out for drinks after just to kind of celebrate like that we've done it. I'd just- I went home straight away, just got on my car and went home. I just didn't want to be around them especially after they would've seen me being weird and I just wanted to get-get home straight away." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." } ]

So you feel like, right now, smoking's a pretty important part of your life.

I can quit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. What makes you so confident?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, I don't see why I couldn't, I-- although I have not ever tried to quit, it's just something that I do for fun, you know, on breaks at work, in the morning, and after work." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. And so in terms of, uh, uh, readiness to actually go ahead and make a quit attempt, where do you think you fall on the scale of 1 to 10, where one is, I'm not considering it at all, and 10 is, I'm definitely ready, I wanna quit." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I am probably a two.

Is there some-- I mean, are there things I can try that would make me like want to quit smoking?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, there are a lot of products available now that can actually help you curb that urge to smoke. We have products that can help to replace nicotine, which can help to decrease withdrawal symptoms that you might experience when quitting or cutting down and also some medications that your doctor could prescribe for you that might take away even some of the desire to smoke." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. Well, that’s good information. I mean, I'm not gonna do anything today. I just need to know my options, but that's encouraging. If I decided to quit smoking, I-I do have at least tools to help me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. And back to that scale, you mentioned, you said you were a two. What do you think it would take to move you up to a four or five?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I guess if my friends, like if one of my friends decided to like quit with me, that would probably help too, but I-- all my friends love to smoke, so I don't see that happening in the near future." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. I wonder if now that your workplace is going smoke-free, if there will be some people at work who planning to quit." }, { "from": "human", "value": "That's a good point.

You're starting to feel sluggish, you're not feeling healthy, and you know that you've got other people in your family watching you, and you want to be a good role model for them to know that this is gonna be just a part of your life, is your exercise.

What-- Do you have any ideas about why that might have shifted?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, I think part of it is that when I was in college, it wasn't really an option to go, like, I had to go to practice or I had to do those things because that was, in a sense, my job that was paying for school, um, and now there's not that same commitment to other people or to scholarship money. So that definitely has shifted, um, but I-I do feel like a-an urgency to go it just doesn't seem that like the step that's missing is for me to actually go to a gym or somewhere to be more active. Like, I think I want to it's just the doing it that seems to not happen." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. So in the past, it wasn't up to you whether you had the choice to go be physically active. Now it is up to you, and-and you're looking back at the last few years and saying, I wanna do things differently." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I want to be more physically active than I've been." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah, I think so. Um, that's not to say like, I wanna go run a marathon but I do think that it would help me a lot in terms of just having a better outlook on life, um, and better energy to- if I were to pick up some type of activity." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. And you've noticed a mood enhancement effect of exercise." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Tell me more about that. What do you notice specifically about your mood on the days you're physically active?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just, I'm-I'm just happier and more upbeat and I think that even my outlook is more positive. So like, if I'm sitting in traffic, and I haven't been physically active, I'll probably grumble about it but if I'm sitting in traffic, and I have been, it's like, I just have a different outlook on things and I already feel like I've gotten something accomplished that day. So it just kind of like helps with that ripple effect into my day of like getting more things done." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, you feel more accomplished and-and you feel less irritated by the small stuff." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. Well, let me see if I've got this all. You came to Arizona six months ago, you're trying to figure out new rhythms and patterns for yourself. You're looking back at the past few years, and in college, you were real active because you were an athlete, and now it's more up to you about making that choice of physical activity, and you're discovering that, um, not being active has affected your energy level and your mood, and that's something you're looking for more of, both of those things, energy and-and a mood booster." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. And then also to, um, like I mentioned, I'm not totally happy with my weight, um, and so hoping too that that would have some impact there and-and maybe help me, um, if my activity kind of gets resolved or improves, then my nutrition also, maybe would go along with it and get better." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Tell me more about your weight concerns. When did you start feeling dissatisfied with your body?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, probably about three, four months ago. Um, yeah, just my clothes started fitting tighter, which wasn't as comfortable, and, um, yeah, just not really super happy with my appearance, which has never really been an issue, um, in my life up until now. I've usually been pretty okay with that, and then in the last three months, I just feel, um, like I've had a lot more of a negative outlook on it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Okay, so it sounds like a sort of a vicious cycle and-and maybe the lacking physical activity has made you feel less confident in yourself. I wonder if that's also a piece of this puzzle since you mentioned that's been a big difference from what was happening in the past." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think- I think the activity piece and then also to like, the foods that I'm eating, I don't think are that great. So that also kind of does the same thing, I think, to my appearance or the way that I viewed myself." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So you had a pretty strong self-confidence, pretty strong body image all the way up until a few months ago and, um, you're hoping to kind of get back to that place where you feel good about yourself." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great." } ]

Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So just to-to make sure that I've got the-the story straight, you've-you've seen Dr. Brown for a couple of years." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You've-you've tried a variety of medications-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "- some prescribed, some-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "- from the-the herbal shop.

Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd say so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Barbara, what was it that you were hoping that I'd do for you today?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I thought, you know, you're a new doctor here-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "- and you've just finished your medical training. I wondered whether, you know, with new eyes and a new way of looking at-at the problem-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "- um, you-you probably know about different tests, new tests, that my doctor doesn't know about, you know, new developments." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So perhaps you could send me for some different tests." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Right. So you were hoping that I'd send you for more tests?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I think there's-there's got to be something that a test might-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "- might reveal." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Okay. Well, I think, Barbara, having-having heard your story, and heard about the symptoms, I'm not sure that actually sending you for more tests at this point would be the most useful thing that we could do for you. And the reason for that is because you've-you've had some of the main investigations in the last couple of years, and-and they've not shown anything. And your symptoms haven't really changed that much. So it's very unlikely that if we were to send you for more tests now that-that they'd show anything different than what we already know. So a bit-- I think it would be a waste of time for you to go for more tests." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So-so like, do you think it's all in my head then? You're gonna be like Dr. Brown. You think I'm imagining all of this?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, no. I think that you clearly have pain, and clearly you have lots of physical symptoms, and they're clearly getting in the way of-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-your life and causing you a lot-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-of disability." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I guess- I guess the way I think about these things is that they're not necessarily either all in the mind or all in the body." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sometimes these things can go together. Uh, I guess I'm thinking about how you told me that last year, when your son got married, uh, and you were very busy-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "- and quite happy, that somehow your symptoms seemed less." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, uh, when your husband's away, which is something you don't like very much, sometimes, somehow, your symptoms then will seem greater. So, I guess what I'm wondering, Barbara, is if there might be some kind of a link with you between how you're feeling in your mind, and what's going on in your life, and-and how much your symptoms trouble you. Do you think that's a possibility?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I can't see that my mind can be causing this amount of pain." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. I'm not saying that the pain's in your mind. Um, I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes the way that we feel, and the way that our lives are going, can impact how we notice our symptoms. Given that we've tried medication for you, and we've tried investigations, and we've drawn a blank really, with those, none of those have really helped you-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "- I guess I'm wondering whether now it would be a good idea to try a different approach to your problems." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What-what sort of approach?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, I guess, thinking a little bit about those other areas of your life, um, uh, I'm thinking about the fact that over the last four years, your life's really changed. It seems to have really shrunk down." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it sounds as though you're not doing lots of the things that you used to do.

So, you know, i-it's just a lot right now." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, it does.

Tell me a little bit about how much you're drinking, and, um, the pattern, and what raised concern." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, that's the thing. I-I don't really understand what raised concern. I mean, I don't drink that much, you know.

Well, so, the recommendation for women is to have no more than three drinks a day, and no more than seven drinks over the course of a week. Yeah, um, and, really, the reason for those recommendations is to just reduce the risk that people have trouble with accidents, or chronic diseases. Like certain types of cancers, or high blood pressure, and then also psychological problems. I don't know what you think about all that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know, i-it just surprises me because, I mean, two drinks a day, that-that doesn't seem like a problem or risky, you know. And, I have family members who drink a lot more than that per day, and, it's not a problem for them. So, i-it just surprises me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It just doesn't seem that abnormal to you, especially when you compare it with your family." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. And then, I don't know, I-I'm just getting kind of annoyed, honestly, because, you know, I did agree I would try to work on my smoking, you know.

Um, but, I do feel guilty about that sometimes, because, I should enjoy spending time with my son, but, instead, you know, I'm just wanting to be by myself and relax, you know. So—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you've noticed that it's starting to call to you a little bit in the evenings." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it's perhaps taking you away from things that are more important to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it doesn't feel good?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. And so, it sounds like there's a bit of a dilemma there, because-- And I guess we should be clear, it's not the occasional drink that's an issue. Um, it's-it's really the quantity of drinking, and-and whether your drinking is escalating and interfering with things that are, perhaps, more important." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you've perhaps never seen it in that light before." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. And, i-it's just, it's really hard to take in right now.

I'm-I'm trying to, you know, go-go back to school. I'm trying to work. So, I don't know how I can do all of that if I don't have a way to enjoy myself or relax, you know?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, it seems like it would be really difficult to change because it's something that's really important to you right now." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But on the other hand, it does sound like there are things that you- that you value that you don't want the drinking to interfere with." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, I guess I'm wondering if you've given any thought to other ways in which you could cope with stress without relying on the drinking so much." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, you know, if there was some way that I could relieve some of my stress, I think I would feel better, and, you know, maybe at night, I wouldn't feel like I had to unwind in the same way." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, if you could somehow tackle some of these stressful issues, um, that could make a difference, and, what-what would that be, for example?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, you know, probably my biggest problem is just childcare. You know, my mom normally watches my son, but she's been kind of backing out lately. And so, I'm worrying, am I going to have to call into work today, am-am I going to have to miss class? You know, so, you know, worrying about that really stresses me out, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, having more reliable childcare could make a big difference." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, definitely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it sounds like your mom has been an option in the past, but perhaps not so much anymore." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean, she watches him so much. I think she's just probably getting stressed out too. And, I feel bad because, you know, it's not her son, so i-it shouldn't be her problem, but, I need something that I can rely on better." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, one thing that could make a big difference is if you could figure out some sort of more reliable, affordable childcare, and that would help you not want to drink as much." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, most of my problems always go back to money. You know, i-if I had more money, I could afford daycare, I could work less hours, you know? So, yeah. It's-it's normally related to money." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. It-it sounds like, um, you know, money could make a big difference, and you are working full time and trying to go to school to address that in the long run. Um, but on the other hand, you know, it sounds like you have some other ideas of cope- of how you might cope with stress better. Um, so, I guess I'm-I'm wondering, given our conversation so far, kind of where you are with everything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, we started off talking about how your drinking has sort of drifted into a risky area, and it would be advisable to cut back. Um, but it sounds like you feel like that's fairly important to you and not something you necessarily want to do. But on the other hand, we've talked about ways in which that perhaps could be made a bit easier, but I'm not sure if you're ready to tackle that or pursue that right now. I'm just kind of wondering where you are." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean, I'm ready to consider changing my drinking, but, as far as actually doing it, I-I don't know. I mean, I have a lot of problems that I'm trying to work out right now." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, um, it would perhaps be helpful if you could narrow it down to just one thing, and what would that be?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Childcare, probably." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Yeah. It sounds like from everything you're saying, that keeps coming up as one of the main issues. Um, so there may be some resources I can point you towards, but I'm- guess I'm wondering, have you looked into alternatives, more affordable, reliable childcare?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Not really. I mean, I just normally see if my mom can watch my son, so, you know, I haven't really looked around." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, one thing you could consider is talking to one of our social workers, they sort of specialize in helping people who have a lot on their plate identifying resources that they may need, uh, things you haven't thought of or aren't aware of. So, I don't know, would you be interested in doing something like that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, definitely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Great. Well, I can definitely set you up with that, and you can-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-um, try to tackle, um, your childcare issue, um, with some assistance. Is there anything else you'd like to do, um, for example, would you be interested in talking with me again, um, just as things progress?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I-I think I would. I mean, it's-it's been nice to just talk about everything that's going on." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So, these are not problems that are going to go away in a week. It's going to take some time to resolve. Okay, great. So, um, it sounds like we have a couple of things, uh, to pursue." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Anything-anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-mm" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Would you be interested in perhaps thinking about setting a goal with respect to your drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I mean, I could at least try to going back to one drink a night instead of two." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Try to cut back a bit and see how that goes." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean, I-I don't know how it's going to go, especially with trying to cut back on smoking already, but, I mean, I can try." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, you can give it a go and, I think doing managing, you might just learn a little bit about how easy or difficult it's going to be, and-and also what it's like to cope with stress in other ways." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, it sounds like we have two avenues to pursue, anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't think so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, that sounds good. So, why don't we meet again in a couple of weeks and you kind of update me on how cutting back on your drinking has gone, and also, what it was like when you met with a social worker? Sound good?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, great. I look forward to talking next time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. Thanks." } ]

Um, I'd be open to that and then I'm not sure-- I'm not familiar with the other thing that you had suggested. Um, I don't know what that is." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's the same thing. It's Wellbutrin, and when they found out by accident through what we call serendipity that you know what, Viagra. [laughs] That when- when people were on Wellbutrin that they tended to decrease and stop smoking, and, um, there were a couple of different reasons for that. Number one, people tend to get depressed when they quit smoking, because it puts you in such a state of deprivation and, um also-- well, so Wellbutrin really is a good antidepressant for them." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The other thing is its a slight stimulatory effect and when people go off nicotine which is a stimulant the-they tend to get pretty tired overheard-- you know it's the opposite of however the nicotine makes them feel.

[crosstalk] [unintelligible 00:05:56] And I-- the last I've read, and I've not kept real current about it, but I'm wondering about the-- what your thoughts are if any about the-- any of the nicotine replacements like the gum patch, the inhaler." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, you know I'd be-- I've heard a little bit about them, but I mean I do know some people, but they're not exactly reliable, um, as far as you know really having a desire and sticking to it that they smoke on the patch and-and then it causes this you know extreme, you know? Like you're getting double the nicotine or whatever so it's almost like they're getting a buzz from it you know so that's my fear and the cost of the patch because it's not covered you know through your, um, your- your insurance and the Nicorette same thing it's very expensive you know.

Preventive. Um, I wish I never would have started and I'm proud of my daughter you know because I started smoking a little bit earlier than her age, and I'm proud that she is at this point not smoking this manifestation she might pick it up but it's- it's like-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That strong spirit of you got instilled with her." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah-yeah, maybe I'm the best example of why she doesn't want to [laughs] you know" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Could be?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Whatever you know and her friends.

Yeah. le-leverage, and you know so it's something else you might know about nicotine is, um is that actually depending on how you smoke it, it can- it can be stimulant when you want it to be a stimulant if you smoke it in short, shallow puffs and then it can be a depressant like after a meal and you take longer inhalations, and it really tends to act on your central nervous system as a depressant.

And I have consistently, uh, almost not even considered myself in the equation. It was, uh, kind of sad in a way, at the time that I realized it.

It makes me feel like I count, like I matter. Uh, it makes me feel like I'm going to be able to do what I want to do with more joy and more passion, and less dread and a sense of responsibility, because one of the things that kind of happened along the way I really didn't notice, is that, um-- Like, let's say for example I like being a teacher or I like being a teacher or I like being a counselor to a certain degree but because of all the shoulds and all of the sense of responsibility and all of the caring about what people think, I started to lose joy doing things I actually enjoy doing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Because you're- felt so obligated." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes, because it turned into an obligation instead of just really really a sense of like you know passion you know. My passion is gone completely. I don't know I'm just happy to, I feel like I got back in touch with myself. It's like I was like lost for a while and now I'm like back again, yes, now I remember why I wanted to do this or like why this is important to me because it is actually one of my values to be and help, but it just has to be, uh, balanced." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, is that on your top five also" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, but um, the other ones I have on there, uh are, number two, inner harmony.

I could be your- I could be- I could be a teacher and I could be a really bad teacher. I could still be a teacher you know, I could show up an I could just do a really poor job and I could go home and I probably could keep my job for a while, it wouldn't be the first time right?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But I don't feel good about that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You don't feel fulfilled." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Like you've done anything helpful." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right, right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's because you showed up and you gave out" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's not enough for me to just show up and get my paycheck. That doesn't, I don't feel fulfilled so it-it, that's the way I see it going together with the helping.

It was in my top 12." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-uh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But I think the conclusion that I came to is that I can be more creative and have more freedom if I have inner peace and self-respect. Part of what- part of what binds me, part of what takes my freedom away is when I just explain all over the place and I don't give any attention to myself. Part of what steals my creativity is when I'm- my mind is reeling around in stress and I am not- I can't even hear myself. I can't even hear myself think.

Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So to summarize, it sounds like you are still feeling kind of anxious about this test coming up, you've rescheduled it, um, over the past couple years.

Um, so we call it high-risk because it means that there's actually quite a bit of chances that you're gonna have some bad consequences from drinking like that.

So, I think it would be possible to stop drinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, does that mean you're gonna stop drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I would probably start off by like, because my friends are also involved, so I'd be like, \"Hey, guys, I don't think I'm gonna drink today.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And kind of see how that goes. Because—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Um, you don't sound very much like you think that's gonna work." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It's, you know, it's one thing to control my own drinking, and it's another thing when everyone else around me is drinking and then there's like that pressure-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-of, \"Oh, they're gonna think I look stupid.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, how are you gonna quit drinking without your friends thinking you look stupid?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Um, so I mean, do you think they're really good friends of yours if they're gonna give you such a hard time?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "My close ones, I know they wouldn't be, you know, have a problem with that. But the ones that I'm not that close with, but I'll still like hang out with-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-those are probably the ones that like might ostracize me for something or." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It sounds like you might be better off without them though. They’re-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "- maybe not very good friends." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably, might be too judgmental." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So, um, so I think we should set a goal that you're gonna stop drinking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, um, I think you should probably stop as soon as possible, like this weekend." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, so the way this normally works is, you know, we set you a goal, and then I'll have you come back and we'll talk about it again in a couple of weeks and make sure that you actually stopped. Um, and so what do you think about that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I think-- I think the possibility." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think if you make a good plan, like I think I'd be able to follow through with it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, great. So, the plan is gonna be that you're gonna quit and, um, the friends that you have that you don't think are supportive, you're just gonna, I guess, not hang out with anymore." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I think I can do that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And then, um, you know, like, are your friends in band drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, not-not really. The ones that drink more are the ones like my class friends. My band friends, we’re focused on band-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-so I can't really—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, that might be good, is really just to focus more on band. Um, because you know, the other big concern I have for you is if you wanna go to medical school, you're not ever gonna get into medical school if you're drinking like this." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You know, like college is gonna be really hard. And especially with all those pre-med classes, you're not gonna be able to handle it drinking this much. You know, have you thought about that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Not too much, to be honest." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Okay. So, setting this goal then of quitting drinking is gonna be really helpful for you. And um, it sounds like i-it shouldn't be that tough really, um, especially because you can just stop hanging out with-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-the people who drink a lot, um, since you have some other friends. Um, yeah. So, do you have any questions for me or?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, what should I-- uh, yeah, I do. So what should I say like once, let's say, I hang out with my friends and they're like, \"Hey, why aren't you- why aren't you drinking?\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like how should I go about that situation?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you know, one good option would be to just review with them review with them all the bad things about alcohol. You can say, you know, \"I thought about it, and I realized it's gonna mess up my schoolwork. And you know, it's really a lot of risk for my health.\" \"I don't want to become an alcoholic.\" Um, you know, \"I don't want to get liver disease.\", \"I don't want to end up driving drunk or getting into accidents-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-or getting in fights.\" You know, one thing you could bring up is, \"I've heard a lot of stories about kids who you know, are at parties and they're drunk and acting stupid, and then people post stuff on Instagram.\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you know, that's it for their social life. It's like over." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "And-and you know, like professional life as well." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't want that biting me in the butt, [chuckles] in the back." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So I think just tell your friends you know, you realized there's always bad things about it and you don't want to do it anymore, so you're just not going to." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And then-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think I can do that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-you can tell them to stop too. You know, then that'd be really good. You'd being a good friend." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It'd be easier as-- You know, as a group we-we all work together to become better." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. All right. Any other questions or anything else I can help with?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. I think- I think I'm good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, like I said, I'll plan to meet with you again in a couple weeks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And make sure that you actually quit drinking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sound good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great." } ]

How long have you been doing that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably since last October." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, for about six months. I'm curious. What do you like about drinking alcohol?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "What do I like about it?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't know. It's just fun to drink with my friends, like when we're at a party at someone else's house, and we're drinking with other people that we don't know. It tastes good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, it sounds like you feel relaxed and have fun when you're drinking with friends and you like the taste." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I'm also curious, are there any parts about your alcohol use that you don't like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't like when I get sick in the mornings 'cause of hangovers and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-when I start throwing up, that's not- I don't like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Have you ever experienced a-a blackout, like when you've been drinking and you wake up and you don't remember what happened?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, but that happened to someone I know, though." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And have you had any problems related to-to your drinking alcohol, like at home or school or somewhere else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, one time I missed first period of school 'cause I had a hangover and I was late getting up." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm, mom got mad at me 'cause I wouldn't get out of bed and she said she knew I had a hangover." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Have you told your mother that you drink with your friends?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, but I got grounded for two weeks after that. [chuckles]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So more negative things about your drinking, like getting into trouble with your mom and missing a class at school when you had a hangover?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, but I only missed school once." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I see on the questionnaire that you have not ridden in a car with someone who's been drinking and you haven't driven a car, um, after you've been drinking. Is that correct?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's great. And I hope you continue to avoid those things. As your doctor, I want you to know that I'm concerned about your drinking. When teens drink, things can go wrong, like injuring yourself. Even when you don't drink too excess, though, your brain is still developing and is very sensitive to the effects of alcohol." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's why I recommend that all my adolescent patients not drink at all. So if you were thinking today about how ready you feel to stop drinking alcohol on a scale of zero to ten, with zero not being ready at all and ten feeling very ready, what number would you pick?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, probably a five." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A five? So, I'm curious. Why didn't you pick a lower number like a two or three that would mean you're only a little bit ready to stop drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I guess I'm just tired of getting in trouble." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. What could you do to avoid getting into trouble?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, not drink." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "[chuckles] Have you ever tried not drinking or stopping drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, not really." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. What some people your age do is try stopping drinking for a period of time just to see what that feels like." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I could probably do that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, how long do you think you could go without drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Do you think you could go two months without drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, probably." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. What things would make it easier for you to not drink?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I could probably drink something else when my friends are drinking, like just coke." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Anything else to make things easier for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I can probably hang out with some of my friends who don't drink or inviting them to parties and having fun 'cause not everyone drinks at parties." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Is there anybody in your life that you can talk to about this, who give you some support for not drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. The-- My friends who don't drink would probably be happy that I'm not drinking either and yes, they'd support me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. So you've come up with some reasons to stop drinking, like having hangovers and throwing up and getting into trouble. And you've developed some strategies to-to try to not drink, like spending more time with friends who don't drink or having non-alcoholic drinks when people around you are drinking alcohol. I think that's a great plan. I'm really proud of you for giving this a try. How about if I have you make an appointment for two months from now and then I'll see you back and we can see how things are going?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." } ]

So how today have you sort of found some ways to manage that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I haven't managed it to-to this point, so [chuckles] I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I suppose I've just got to get tougher with myself." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. I think somewhat being tough with yourself, what-- yeah, people often say that, but, you know, it's not-- I think there are some things that you can do, and you've already-already identified a really good strategy." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What? Cutting off some of my friendships?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, it's a couple of ideas. O-one, thinking about who your friends are and will your friends support you to realize your dream of traveling to Egypt." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, and the other idea you talked about before was, actually, cutting up your credit cards. So kind of amazing what that thing makes there on different cards isn't it?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's very helpful and healthy. So, yeah, a couple of really good ideas already you've got, guess so?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So that's-that's some work that we can continue to work with. Yeah? Yeah?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So 'cause-'cause I asked the question before, is what might be the hardest thing, and you'd identified that your friends, you know, could be one of the habits." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yep, yep. Could that mean that some of your friends are probably moving around some similar sort of stuff like you, wondering about where they're going and-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-what they want to further their dreams, yeah?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, so we talked about sort of where things you-w-- Where you might be in five years and which path you wanna take, yep, yep? And you seemed very clear about it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, yeah.

My-- I'd-I'd be able to wear more my clothes. I've been growing around the middle and I'd like to, uh, you know, go back to where I was, you know, get into a 34, 36 waist, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I-I'm more comfortable-- I feel better. I think that's the main thing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Yeah, because your-your health really, to me, it's more important than your-your looks.

[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "Miguel, before we end the call, I did want to go over the answers you gave me on the questionnaire about drug use. Is it okay if we go over that right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's fine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Thanks. When I looked at your form, it looks like you use heroin weekly and you injected. What part of your body do you normally inject in?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, mostly in my left arm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Do you mind if I take a look at your arm, please?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, no. That's okay. How's that?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, I don't see any redness. Um, can you go ahead and touch that Miguel, and tell me if it feels warm to you or if it hurts?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, nope. It feels okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Thanks. Just so you know, when I talk to patients about drug use, my job is to be helpful. I'm not going to tell you what to do or what you should do. What I can do is share some information and be a resource. Does that make sense?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah, that's fine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. What else can you tell me about your heroin use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I don't know. Um, I use maybe a few times a week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A couple of times a week. And where do you get your syringes?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Syringes? Uh, sometimes I'll buy them at Walgreens. Most times I'll just get them from the needle exchange." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, what one do you remember?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, Northeast Glisan." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. How often do you use new deals when you inject?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I use new needles every time, I never share." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, it sounds like your health is important to you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, that's right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you showed up today to take care of your migraines." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm, yap." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, uh, you wrote on here that you've experienced withdrawal symptoms when you've stopped using in the past, is that right?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah. Yeah, if it's, uh, you know, if it's been a couple of days like I can go two days, three days tops before I start to feel really sick." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What does that feel like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, geez. Yeah, I mean, it's the obvious stuff like my stomach feels sick, I get the body aches, uh, cold, hot, chills. Uh, everything hurts. Everything is in extremes. My emotions are in extremes. Uh, yeah, it sucks. I don't want to do anything. I just want to stay home and just stay in bed." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That sounds awful. What do you do when that happens?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I mean, I start to use, I get loaded." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. How else does injecting heroin impact your life?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, you know, I get loaded and I-I can- I can function. I can go to work and, you know, do normal things, you know. Uh, I mean, there's been maybe just a couple of times where I wasn't feeling all that well, and I, uh, I was late a couple of times to work or it might overslept from the night before or whatever, but it's about it. Uh, I just want to avoid getting sick right now. That's my main priority." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. You want to stay healthy. I'm curious, what do you like about using heroin?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, you know, I like the way it feels. Um, you know what I mean? When I shoot up my anxiety, goes away, my depression goes away. Uh, things that usually make life really difficult, uh, get a lot easier." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And what about your use do you not like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah. I mean, I think everybody who uses at least has some concern of overdosing on some level. Right? Uh, so that's something I'm concerned about is accidentally overdosing. And, uh, yeah, I mean, I don't want to get an infection in my arm, you know, just the usual things. I have a hard time hitting veins sometimes, and I gotta dig around a little bit and I would get worried about, you know, hitting something that I shouldn't or, you know, getting infections." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So on one hand, using heroin feels like an escape from things you don't want to think about. On the other hand, it puts you at risk for an overdose in infections." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, that's right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So weighing what you like and don't like about your use, where do you want to go from here? What do you want to do differently?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, some patients who inject heroin are interested in a medication called Suboxone. It reduces cravings, withdrawal symptoms without making you high. Some patients want information on how to inject drugs more safely or where to get new syringes. Other patients want to carry Naloxone which is a drug that can prevent one from overdosing." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, are you talking about Narcan? Is that the same thing?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I got some of that already. I got it from the needle exchange." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Where do you keep it?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, at home mostly." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "In case you see someone overdosing?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, that's a concern, of course, right? Uh, I'm on the app just in case somebody nearby is OD-ing and I can get pinged. But no, mostly I just keep it in case I overdose, uh, and, uh, I'm realizing now I have it but I haven't told my roommate about it so—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Your housemate may be willing to give you Narcan if they see you overdosing." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, that's what I'm thinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Anything else you want to do about your use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I would really like a little bit of information on, uh, injecting in my arm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I can email you some information on how to inject in a way that reduces the chance of infection and we also have behavioral health specialists in our clinic who can go over how to reduce harm with you. I bet the syringe exchange has similar resources too." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So it sounds like you have two goals right now. You want to tell your housemate about where you keep the Narcan in case you overdose and you want some information on how to inject safely?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "How confident are you to do these two things? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 meaning not ready at all and 10 meaning very ready, what number would you pick?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd probably say 10." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. You're very ready. Why do you think you picked a 10 instead of a lower number like 8?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, uh, I don't want to have an overdose and I don't want to get an infection. Seems like easy things to do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What kind of plan could you put in place to make sure you meet these goals?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, I can talk to my housemate tomorrow night. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't work tomorrow night so he'll be around." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's great. And how do you want to get the information on injecting?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, if you could email me that right now, that'd be great." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I'd like to hear how your plan worked out for you if you're willing to come back for another appointment. I look forward to hearing about what worked for you and what was challenging say in four weeks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, yeah, yeah. It's fine.

I-I didn't get- go to physical therapy this week, and the- or Tai Chi, actually." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, I'm wondering if something happened that that led you not to go.

I guess I've kind of gone to the extreme. I tend to do that. [chuckles] Yeah. So, keep moving?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. It sounds so crazy, doesn't it?

I just sort of did a bit of search on the internet and stuff and just read about this place, so I just thought I'll—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. So it sounds like you thought there was something that, uh, that you needed to look at, something that was concerning you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I guess. I-I suppose I hadn't really thought about it till they sat me down, and you know- I mean I could, uh, I could understand a little bit of where they were coming from, so yeah, I thought I'd—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "They were concerned for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah, which kind of was a bit of a sh-shock, I suppose." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You were surprised?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah, 'cause, you know, I don't know. You know, you see on movies when people sort of intervene or say, \"You know, you need to go and get help.\" And then-- I don't know. Like you know those characters and, they-they do need help, you know-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-because they're fucked." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And you kind of go, \"Woah. That's not me.\" So it's about am I—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're not sure that applies to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, or well, not to that extent, you know what I mean? Like, I-I would-- l didn't think I was at anywhere near a point that I would need to be sat down and intervened with-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-if you know what I mean." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I suppose." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I'm trying to understand you so far, something's concerning you and something's concerning your friends-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-but you're not sure whether it's- whether-- just how bad it is or- and you're just wanting to check that out?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 'cause, I mean, you know, they are my friends and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "- you know, I'm not gonna be so narrow-minded as to say for sure that, you know, they're entirely wrong 'cause there's a big group of them, you know? And they do care, so obviously, there's something there that I might have overlooked. But on the other hand, I'm sort of like, \"Well, was it that bad?\" And you know, \"Was that- was that really necessary?\" But I, you know, I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and just check it up, yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Because they care about you and-and you respect what they say, and you're wondering whether something about what they're saying may be right, but let's check that out a bit?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, pretty right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, let's do some checking out." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, cool." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So tell me a little bit about what you're doing, what is- what is the concern that they are raising." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, dr-drugs, I guess." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm, yeah. Sort of kind of do a bit of P now and again-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and, um, I guess less often, I do a bit of, you know, I smoke a little bit and, um, party pills in the- in the weekend sometimes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Tell me a little bit about what now and again means, and-and-and how often." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, a couple of times a week maybe." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Is this- is this with, uh, with the drug?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "This is meth you're talking about? A couple of times a week?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah. So I guess when I put it that way, it does sound quite a lot, but it doesn't feel a lot, you know? If you know what I mean?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, maybe, we c-- we can check that out to see whether-whether it's a lot or-- But maybe also importantly to-to discuss with you what the effects are and-and-and what your concerns are about it. But help me to understand a little bit more of what it's like for you. Tell me- tell me what are the things about your, uh, use of meth that you- that you've liked that you found good for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right. Um, I suppose it's kind of hand-in-hand with just hanging out with, sort of, some new scene that I've-- Like, um, I moved to Auckland maybe three years ago." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And, um, I still live in Palmy and, so as you can imagine, it's sort of a bit different down there. And, um, kind of just when I first got here I was sorta introduced a little bit to, um, like do you know Family Bar on-on [unintelligible 00:06:49]?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I know Family Bar, yes." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It's that sort of- that sorta scene, that kind of, um, gay scene, I guess. And, like, it's not something I'd really thought about before and-- But then kinda hung out there and just met these people that were sort of like you don't really get there much Palmy. Well, I mean I suppose you do, but they're not-- You know, in Auckland bars like that you can just-- Uh, you can just be it out in the open, you know, and I suppose in Palmy you can't as easily. Um, so just to arrive and see that and kind of meet these people that were just really friendly, you know, and-and not judge me into it. I don't know. You know, Palmy often is they're sort of like, \"Oh, you've gotta own a car, and soap it up, and drive up and down the Main Street,\" and I just couldn't give a shit about that, you know, so. Or play rugby and, you know, that didn't interest me at all and sorta come here and have people, you know, talk about interesting stuff and have a good time. I just want to go out and dance and stuff like that. Um, that was quite cool for me to know that that existed because I hadn't seen that before and-and I suppose there's a lot of that that goes on there, you know?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's quite a heavy party scene most weekends and stuff. So it kind of goes hand in hand with that really, and just, you know, I guess when I have-have a slight-- I don't know, you just feel really good, I guess. Just feel, like, happy, and excited, and just to be surrounded by people that, you know, really care about you, and love you and-- Coming from a place where y-you didn't-- don't get that as much, it's just really cool, you know, to-to be able to go, \"Okay, on this day I can take this.\" And it's just that instant, like, \"I know- I know I'll feel good.\" I guess that's part of it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So Auckland, coming to Auckland from Palmerston for you was-was like taking charge of something that you were going to look to make something different in your life?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, in-in a way. Although I wouldn't have been conscious of that really. I just sort of discovered it here. It's not like I came to Auckland looking for that kinda-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-lift to get away from, um, you know parents mainly, and that kind of lifestyle, that Palmy sort of lifestyle. But then yeah, I discovered this other thing, um—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Which you weren't aware of in Palmerston?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. I didn't really know. I guess you see sort of things like that in-in movies from America you know, but you don't really-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "- think that it would exist in your own country. Well, not if you grew up in Palmy." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Palmerston. Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't mean to be mean about Palmy but, you know, it's just the different kinda attitude, I guess, kinda- this done-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-to that sort of thing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It sounds like you're ready to move up to something that was different." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And-and you came-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "-plus-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-here to Auckland." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah. I definitely wanted to get away from something. I didn't know what too, but then I arrived here and found this thing that was like actually, this was obviously, fate or whatever was pulling me to this thing-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-'cause-'cause like I found something in myself or something that was missing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And how does that feel for you now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, now, I guess, now, I'm just a little used to it. [clears throat] When I first got here, I was like, \"Wow, this is amazing.\" This is hard, I guess, but, you know, it's been three years now, so it's just kinda like I've gotten used to it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, I guess, I'm, let's say I take it for granted but, um, yes, it's just comfortable now. And, um, it's just a sort of what I do really. Yeah, so, I guess that the drugs are linked to that, I suppose. It's j-- Well, it's just a part of it, I don't really think-- I didn't really differentiate it. It's just kinda, \"Okay, I'm gonna go hang with my friends,\" and that sort of thing, you know, that Saturday, Friday night thing. And then it just happens really as part of that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So coming out, feeling-- being gay-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-being part of a gay culture here in Auckland, is feeling good-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And at the same time, it's-it's linked closely with the- with the drug scene with the meth scene for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you're not experiencing where these two things are separate? They just seem to be together more often than not?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I guess, now, that I think about it, maybe it's sort of gone beyond that, maybe I didn't notice that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean like I always-- Well, it's, you know it's kind of a thing that happens in the weekends but, I guess, sometimes in the weekdays. You know, I'll-I'll pretty much every weekend I'll have a big night, um, maybe two but sometimes, you know, in the weekdays like on a Tuesday or Wednesday or something if I just kinda feel like doing something then I might do that sometimes to see if someone else wants to come round and join me or, you know, occasionally by myself I might have a smoke by myself or something like that. And I guess that isn't entirely linked to that scene, I suppose." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It just sounds like something's worrying you about that there's-there's a part link there but there's not a link and that-that maybe that the drugs is-is becoming a more important part in your life." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm. Maybe. I suppose I hadn't really thought about it-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-until recently." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So something's changed recently?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I suppose just since that kind of intervention thing or I started to give them the benefit of the doubt. And it's-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-maybe noticing some things that I hadn't noticed but—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Tell me about those things you're noticing that you hadn't noticed before." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, I mean, e-even just now, you know, when you asked me how often." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That surprised you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm. S-surprised me to-to think about, you know, when there's stuff, and you don't really think about it, but then if someone asked you, you know, how often or-- and then you kind of have to quantify it, I suppose it kinda sound shocking, you know, if I- if I imagine myself sort of saying, \"I do this, you know, a few times a week.\" It-it-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-sounds shocking. But to me it-it's- it doesn't feel that way, you know, that's kind of where that, where it kind of doesn't sit right. I, [clears throat] that's why I kind of got a bit miffed at my friends a little bit, or I dunno, a bit defensive there. 'Cause you know, it sounds a lot, but it doesn't feel out of control or anything, you know. It doesn't feel, I dunno, people that need to go and see therapists or whatever you kind of go, \"Oh, they're an addict.\" You know. They-- Their health is really bad and they need urgent help right now quickly, Uh, well, at least that's kind of the-the feeling you get. And I don't feel that at all. I don't feel like it's a real urgent thing. So that-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-felt a bit weird." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you're worried a little bit about it and you're going to find out more about it, but you're-you're not gonna take on this notion of being a headache or anything as yet—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Definitely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So tell me then, um, Ricky, what- what's the other side of the good things that-that using meth or doing some smoking does for you? Is there a downside to it? Are there problems that you're experiencing?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep. Um. Uh, I suppose money is quite a big thing. Like, I used to have a lot more money sorta last year. I had a, quite a good job, like a, quite a regular acting job." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, and it was like quite a lot of money that la-last year. So it wasn't such a problem then. And I suppose I sort of blew that money a little bit. Um, so now I don't have that acting income coming in as frequently and I'm working in a cafe like a sort of part-time and it's not bringing in as much. So now it's kinda like, and sometimes I need to borrow a bit of money or sorta need a bit of help with the rent sometimes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Quite a lot's changed over the last year from—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. A little bit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It doesn't sound like it was part of the plan." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No. But you know, that's the life of an actor, I suppose, ups and downs works and not works." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. [chuckling] It's not a secure profession-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and it's-it's hard-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's not." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-it's hard. But is-is there, I just wonder, is there a connection at all between the-the-the-the acting and the meth use in terms of the effect of the meth use on your- on your ability to get work?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm. Could have been a couple of auditions that I didn't do so well and as I could have 'cause of that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The drug may have had an effect on that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, maybe. Maybe it's just my general sort of state. Um,I dunno, sometimes I suppose just kind of weighs on my mind a little bit like, \"What am I doing or why am I spending my money on this?\" I mean, when it's happening, it's like, this is amazing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm. Hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know am I-- You go in- you go into places, interesting places, but you know, I could just as well have saved that money and actually gone to interesting places I suppose. But I don't know. I wonder if it- if-if it's having an effect. I-I don't know. I can't say for sure, but maybe it's not so good for the face, I dunno. [crosstalk] Dunno if I look tired or-or run down or-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-or if I actually am tired or run down, I suppose. Again, this is things that I haven't really thought about-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-but now I'm starting to think about." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. And they got questions too-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-to ask are they—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're beginning to-to think about those things and-and-and what effect they may have on you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And the choices that you might have about it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What else? Are the-the-the-the problem of around the use of money, you know, the choices that you make around money, and the meth use has taken up quite a lot of the money-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-over the last year and maybe also the effect on-on um, your job and being able-- maybe you're not auditioning as well as you might." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And maybe the effects um, also on-on your physical appearance. An interesting question around the effect of meth use on physical appearance." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, what-- are there any other problems? Any other things that-that are a bit of a downside to this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I guess it's obviously having some sort of effect on my friends and my flatmates, 'cause, you know, they set me down and said, \"Look you gotta-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-look into this or else we can't hang out anymore.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And that's a problem?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That would be a problem, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Why?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "If they didn't wanna hang out, well, then what have I got, I suppose?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "They're important." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah, and I mean part of it, yeah. Part of it I just wonder 'cause, you know, a lot of those friends that set me down are obviously the ones that are not part of that scene. I mean there were a couple there that-that are, but mostly they were the ones that sort of have always sorta been a bit judgy. You know, like when I first started all this stuff, you know. And clearly, there wasn't a problem like-- 'cause I used to be that guy as well you know, like, \"No never do that 'cause it's bad,\" and then you try it the first time and you go, \"Actually, it's not that bad.\" It's not the end of the world if you're sensible with it, then it's not gonna be, you know." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You have to take a stupid amount to do any kind of like, or, you know, to die or to end up in a hospital." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "YHmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So it's provided you don't-- you're not stupid with it. Then it's just a bit of fun but you can't really explain that to people who are-- have their walls up. So it's hard not to sit in this room full of people kind of going, \"Oh, you know, you really should stop the drugs, they're bad.\" It's like, \"Well actually, you don't know what you're talking about.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm. But Ricky, let me just check, 'cause I may got this wrong, just check with you that um, there are some friends that you've got who do use who are still concerned about you. Did I get that right from what you said earlier that-that those who are concerned about you and were part of this intervention some of them use." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep. Yeah, a couple." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you-- So they have their concerns and-and you are beginning to-to ask questions of this use as well and-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-it's just that that we're gonna try and drill down a little more into just to pick up for you what-what you think might be going on and what you think might be some of the options for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And we're g- we're gonna leave labels all that kind of stuff aside 'cause, you know, I'm picking up from you that that's not what that's about." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I'm happy with that. What do you think will happen, what might happen if you can turn your-your uses- you're on now? What-what concerns do you have about not making any kind of change?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well I suppose the acting thing is a really big concern." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright." }, { "from": "human", "value": "'Cause I want that to be my job, you know. I'm fucking sick of cafes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "This is gonna be your career. This is the career-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-you want to make." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd like it to be, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. It's harder when you're trying to create your career, get that going. You gotta- you gotta be at your- at your top, top pitch." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, 'cause I mean it's all you know, it's partly lacking and partly being at the right place at the right time. And if you're at the right place and at the right time and it is not on your game then there could have been a—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, and-and maybe the meth use is-is compromising that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, it could be." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, and then I suppose also like money is linked into that as well, you know, I've-- I'm not doing as many courses and stuff as I used to be doing, 'cause it's, you know, don't have the money." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Alright, so it's back to the money thing again which is-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, yeah, I mean, obviously I don't wanna keep pissing my flatmates off." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know, and it's not- it's not cool to not pay the rent, obviously. It's not something I'm happy with." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That creates problems?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, and I don't wanna be that person." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Let's just come back to another thing, uh, that we were talking about a little bit earlier, and it's around your meth use as well and-and-and with your gay friends, with gay lifestyle. And-and that sounds like you're saying that-that-that when you party, when you go into the clubs, when you're being with friends that the meth use is always there?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The-the availability of it is there." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And everyone, most people are using." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Not-not necessarily P or whatever but yeah most people are doing something. Yeah. I suppose yeah it's kind of part of that scene that there's not a huge like, you know, you go to normal bars and most people are just drunk and wasted and like spewing everywhere and stuff and whereas that's a different scene. Like, people drink but they don't drink to that excess but they take other things and have a good time. And, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it might be hard to be part of that scene and not to be using drugs?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean there are people that do that.

I think I could probably do that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. The other things that need to be worked on over time certainly would be changing your eating habits, you know, to eat- eat healthier, uh, not necessarily less, but healthier. And the other thing would be getting, um, some more physical activity. And by the way, that doesn't mean going to a gym. That means things like more walking, maybe using stairs instead of an elevator or an escalator, stuff like that.

So sort of in the-the too much drinking or-or at times, can you tell me some of the less good things or not so good things about alcohol?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, a lot of times, it'll make- it'll make people stupid. [laughs] Yeah, you know, people make dumb decisions and things like that. We-we usually try to be as safe about it" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-as possible. So we'll like sleep over at a friend's house. And so that, you know, we're not driving and it's mostly within our friend group. So we're not worried about strangers putting weird things in our drinks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But, um, definitely some of the ideas people can have when they're stup- when they're drunk and can be really stupid." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So you're trying to, like you said, not engage in really dangerous activities?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're trying to stay put, you're not driving. You're trying to stay with people that you trust. Um, but yet it sounds like there's still some-some things happening from time to time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sometimes. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Can you tell me a little bit about that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I, especially don't like it whenever me or one of my friends, like we drink too much and we end up like throwing up or things like that, that I don't- that's not fun." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Throwing up is never fun." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's not." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And how often do you think that happens?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "For me, that's happened to me once. It was the first time I ever drunk and it was- it was a lot, I didn't know what I was doing. I was mixing all kinds of weird things and just kind of taking anything everyone- anyone gave me" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and that didn't end well." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But after that, I haven't- but I do have friends that still do sometimes, so I'll end up like having to take care of them or something and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It kind of puts a downer on my- on my fun." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh. Okay. So, on the one side, some of the fun things associated with alcohol are people are just more relaxed, sorta, um, carefree can kind of let loose a little bit more, on-on the other hand, there's a little bit more, I guess, planning involved-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-because you have to make sure that you're doing it safely or as safe as you can. And then, um, there can be some other consequences like throwing up or even if it's not you, that sometimes you're stuck your-your fun is sort of ruined when you're stuck dealing with a friend who drunk too much. Okay. And the other not so good things about the alcohol?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. People can get a little like sloppy, I guess. Like they're all loose, like with people in corners doing things that should be done in private-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and that kind of stuff." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you're kind of stuck being exposed to things you don't need to see." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Got it. Okay. Um, all right. Well, you mentioned a couple of times that you've made a few decisions to try and limit the dangerous aspect of the drinking. Why did you make those decisions?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I just- I've, you know, I have an aunt who is an alcoholic. So I-I see like the issues that are involved and I've seen movies and things I know that drunk driving is an issue-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So, I, you know, I wanna be as safe as possible in those terms and be in a setting where like we can let loose but still be safe like in someone's house or sort of my parents will tell me something. But-- So, I- like I know that there are dangers involved and I guess I wanna limit that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And so be where I have fun." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Yeah, it sounds kinda similar to your, um, your value of respect to yourself." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "On the one hand, you- the drinking maybe helps with the belonging community to start." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If there's too much, then it sort of—" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Then it kind of defeats the purpose? [laughs]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. And then with the respect, one of the things you mentioned, is really wanting to respect yourself and not sort of cross boundaries, not sort of cross lines." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, how do you think that the drinking fits in with that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "In terms of what? In terms of respect?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think, well in a way, I do think that drinking is probably a form of disrespect to my own body because I'm not putting things- I'm putting things in it that shouldn't be there." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And then-- But in terms of at- how it is I am respecting myself, I am- I'm respecting myself by like trying to stay in someone's house and like trying to limit my drinking so I don't get to that blackout like throwing up and everything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And try to, you know, let loose but still be in control of my behavior so I'm not gonna go somewhere with a person I met-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-into I don't know where to, I don't know what, and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-things like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So you're sort of looking for that balance-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-of how much you can drink to have some of the positive benefits but not cross over." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And what have you come up with at this point? Do you have sort of a-a limit that you stick to or are you--?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I usually-- Well, I start off like I make sure that I make my own drink so I know what's in it and how much is in it. So in that way I control how much I drink. So, I usually just, you know, get one of those cups and then make one drink. And then I'll try to make it last as long as possible. And I'll be like, \"All right, this is my one drink\" and I'm good in that way. I still have something in my cup so people aren't gonna be like, \"Oh, here. Have some more.\" I'd be like, \"No, I'm good. I have mine,\" and I'll still be, you know, having some to like let loose a little." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Okay. And do you feel that that's working pretty well for you or do you sometimes exceed that limit or-or what do you think?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "For the most part, it works pretty well because, like I said, people, you know, people come asking me, trying to pressure me, I'll be like, \"No, I'm good. I have- You know, I still have something. I'll get some later.\" And I never end up getting anything. Oh, but sometimes they'll be like, \"Hey, let's take a shot,\" and everyone's gathered around like the kitchen or something ready to take a shot. And then at that point, I'll be like, \"Oh, well, maybe I can take one more.\" And that's when I start, you know, falling into-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-way too much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, uh, uh, a portion of the time it's working well for you and another portion of the time maybe you would like-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-would like to make some adjustments-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-to-to make it a little smoother. Okay. So, kind of thinking along those lines, how important is it to you make some changes or make some adjustments to your drinking to sort of fit with your values and your goals for yourself?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I'd like to make sure that I'd, you know, in terms of respecting myself and my body, I'd like to, you know, try to drink less." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like I-I-- You know, it is nice to let loose and have fun, but I'd also like it to be so, you know, I'm not damaging my body, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like my liver doesn't work by the time I'm like 22." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And, um, you know, have my friends on board with a similar mentality so we can kind of work at it together as a group, as a- as a community." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh. So kind of combining you alls-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-goals. Okay. So, you-you have a goal it sounds like, of actually cutting back on your drinking. How important is it to you to work on that goal and on a scale of one to ten, where one is not at all important and ten is it's the most important thing right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd say about like-like a six or a seven." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'd like to work on it but, you know, if I get around to it, I get around to it. If I don't, I don't." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh. Why do you say six or seven rather than like a four?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, because I still think it's-it's important." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I still, you know. Like I said, I don't want to hurt my body. Especially going to med school like I know how things affect your body and also affect your-your social and your school work and things like. I know that once I get to college, it's not- it's not gonna-gonna work out being, you know, drinking every weekend and then like trying to wake up early and go to school, take an exam. Like I know that's not- that's not feasible. It's not a good idea." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, looking ahead, you can't keep drinking this way and reach the goals that you have for yourself." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, how confident are you that you could cut down if you wanted to-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think I-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-on that same scale from one to ten?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think if I made the decision that I was going to, for sure, then I think definitely like a 10 I know it'd be going through." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, wow. Okay. Why do you say 10?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's just because I know that once I make the decision, I know I can do it. It's making the decision in the first place." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And so you mentioned the- you know, quite a few reasons why you would like to cut down. Um, have you thought at all about how you might go about doing that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I'm thinking of maybe like trying to convince my friends without sounding, you know, dorky or something and be like, hey, you know, let's just stay in today. Like, let's not go out or something. Or just be like, hey, I'm not like-- I'm not going to drink today. And then even if my friends do, like being okay with them, drinking around me and not doing it, and then them being okay with me drinking-- Me not drinking and them doing whatever they want." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So sort of, um, trying to plan more activities that don't involve alcohol-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and then also trying to participate in activities without drinking yourself or maybe even drinking less than you're drinking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Does that sound like a goal you want to work on now or?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think so. I think it's-it's very feasible. I think it's possible." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Um, so I guess we'll talk about, um, less alcohol activities. I'm just making some notes to myself and then maybe, um, reducing the amount of drinking that you're doing if alcohol is involved. Okay. Um, so that-that goal sounds feasible, you said? Would it be okay if we met in a couple of weeks to sort of see how it's going?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think so. I think that's good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Does that sound like something you'd like to do?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, I really appreciate you spending the time talking to me, you know, it sounds like you have a lot of really good goals for yourself, really ambitious goals of going to medical school and, you know, becoming a psychiatrist or, um, some-some other form of physician. Um, you're really looking forward to doing well in school so you can get there." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And it sounds like you have a pretty active social life and a-a lot of friends who you feel probably would be, uh, supportive, even if you cut down on alcohol and that, you know, there's a lot of benefits you see both to your body and your health, um, your school performance, and even some of the social stuff in terms of feeling a sense of belonging without having to deal with some of the gross consequences of-of, um, drinking too much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, so yeah, you know, it really sounds to me like you have a good plan in place and as long as you're willing and-and interested in meeting again, I'd be very excited to be able to talk with you about how it's going." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I'd like to." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. Great. So I'll-I'll plan to see you then in a few more weeks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Perfect. Nice." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great." } ]

I just had a question about citalopram." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, I'm the pharmacist on duty. Citalopram, okay. It's an antidepressant and it comes in 10, 20, and 40-milligram strengths. It's excreted in the urine and it has a half-life of about 35 hours. For side effects, there are sexual side effects, heart side effects, and stomach side effects." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, but I just wanted to know if it interacts with phenelzine?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, um, yeah, I think that should be fine." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, thanks for that.

Well, do you have any specific questions?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, nothing specific. I just am unfamiliar with the medication." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Well, citalopram is an SSRI medication. Its indication is for depression and it's typically dosed as a 20-milligram tablet but it is available as 10, 20, and 40 milligrams. Any patients started on this medication should be monitored for improvement in symptoms in four to eight weeks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. Uh, what about side effects?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If there are some side effects to this, it can include GI effects, sedation, or sexual dysfunction. But if you have a patient that suffers from any of those things, you can try either decreasing the dose or changing them to a different agent. Do you have any other questions?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, what about does it interact with phenelzine?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, that I'm not sure of.

I'm wondering about-- because it sounds like this whole idea about filling out the forms, is getting in the way of this bigger dream that you've got which is around getting a qualification around something to do with cars-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and getting on this road where you're staying out of trouble because you've got this, um, interest-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-which you can do. So, it seems a real shame that the forms are gonna get in the way, so we need to find a way around the forms." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah? So, what do you think, between now and next week, you can do around the forms?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I guess, I'd go pick them up and I don't know, I guess I could ask Donna, but she'd probably help me, I don't really want to." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "She'd probably help you, but you don't really want to. It sounds like you're a bit embarrassed." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I don't know.

I've got used to sleeping in." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "At night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, the whole thing about going back to poly-- going back to school-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-going back to polytech is-- would-would require a really big change in the way which you're currently living, and you're not quite sure if you can do that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Uh, it would be cool if it's anything like school. Like, I didn't really enjoy school. [unintelligible 00:22:56] so writing and stuff, and I wouldn't wanna do that. If it's all hands-on though, it would be all good." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So, there's something here about your level of-- about how confident you are around writing or how unconfident you are, that sounds like it's getting in the way." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. No, it does get in the way. I just don't wanna do it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's a waste of time." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. So, it sounds like we might need to have some more conversation around that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, what's really getting in the way?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "For what?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, this writing business. What's really getting in the way?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Of what? Well, I don't get it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, I'm wondering, like-- it sounds like it's a thing that you're putting up as saying you can't do-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah.

I can write and read." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah.

Yeah, I don't really enjoy it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, how much reading and writing is involved in the course that you're gonna go on?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. Hopefully, not many-- not much, but that's what I wanna find out, I guess." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, what'd it be like if you were more confident in your reading and writing? What'd that be like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It'd make everything easier." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like-- I don't really like reading books or anything, so I don't really care about that but just, say, real-life stuff like going to the bank, and stuff like that-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-yeah, that have filling out forms." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, I guess that there will be manuals and stuff like that on-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-your course that, you know, to-- the hands-on stuff, it sounds like you're really confident around doing, but it's the more reading, writing, book, kind of, stuff that you are not so--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I didn't think about that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, that'd suck if you had to read, like, a big manual or something. Hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. Okay. So- so like before you get to here where you got this dream and there's some things that need to happen before that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So, mm, we need to think about what's the very first step." } ]

There's something going on, and you wanna go out of your way to help people, and you say, \"Well, my needs aren't so important right now.\" I think that is okay to do once in a while.

Um, then, and but also service, that's third because I really do enjoy helping other people. Being there for other people, you know, and-and if it puts myself out.

Yeah, it hurts." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It hurts? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Where are you having pain?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, just about every joint like especially my knees. They're really-- They have me doing some leg things that-that-that is it really necessary?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you know, I-I understand that pain is hard to work through but a lot of time when you're having rehab after a stroke, that pain is telling you that your muscles and joints are starting to work again. So you can kind of think of it as a positive way to, you know, know that your-your body's getting back to normal." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But what are your goals for the long term?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I wanna go home." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, of course, of course. And what are the things that you'd like to be able to do once you get home?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Everything. I wanna- I wanna, play with my dog. I miss my dog. I wanna cook for myself. I'm a very independent person and I wanna do things for myself." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, yeah. And so that's a very important goal to be able to get back home, to be able to get back to your independence. Have you thought about what it might take to get there?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I guess the rehab." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And it's also going to be very important that once you're home, you're able to continue on a regular activity program. Have you thought about what that might look like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Not really." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Not really, okay. Well, have you ever heard of something called Tai Chi?

She loves it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you know, Tai Chi is one of the best ways to get your balance back after you've had something like a stroke. And it's also really good for preventing falls. And if you wanna be home and you wanna be doing the things you wanna do and going for walks with your dog, it's very important to make sure that you don't fall 'cause that would cause more problems down the road." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Absolutely. I do not want to fall, for sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So what do you think about Tai Chi?

I've seen pictures, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's not that easy to get started. You do certainly have to have some motivation to want to do it. Um, and when you first start, oftentimes you do feel a little wobbly or a little insecure." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I don't see how I could do it. I-I'm still in a walker, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, yeah, I understand. So there are lots of places around that have it. Your local senior center would have it. And what I recommend is that you start by doing it in a chair. Just sitting in the chair." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I could?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You could. You can talk to the instructor and that way you won't fall, you'll feel confident and you'll start to learn some of the moves. And then gradually over time, as you get a little bit better at doing the moves in a chair, you can start to stand up, use the chair to lean on, and then eventually, you'll be able to get to the point where you can do it on your own." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And you really recommend this?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You know, it cuts your risk of falls in half. It also helps to reduce pain although that's not a short-term benefit, you do have to stick with it for at least three to six months to start have it help reduce your pain. But it does have a number of things that I think would get you to your goals of being home and able to play with your dog and doing your own cooking and things like that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You do Tai Chi?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I do Tai Chi. I do it three days a week and it's really helped my balance as well." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, okay. Well, yeah. Um, listen, anything that's going to get me home and if you do it and you recommend it, I'll try it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. Well, I'm delighted. It's a pleasure to see you again. I hope your rehab continues to go well and we can talk some more about this at our next visit." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right.

I noticed that she's been in the emergency room five times in the last year for her asthma.

Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I-I also noticed that, uh, it's been about three months or so since you picked up the prescription for her chronic inhaler." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Are you having some difficulties with that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I did research on the chronic inhaler and I found out that there were steroids in it and that-that I don't want her taking steroids. I did, uh, research on some of the potential side effects and some of the health problems that can result from taking steroids and I-I just don't want her to take those at all. I don't want her exposed to them at all. And then, uh, let me just go ahead and lay this out right now. Uh, because I'm sure it'll come up, but I-I do smoke. But I make sure that I do not smoke around her so that I make sure that it does not affect her. So-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-I just want to let you know that right off." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, it sounds like you care about Sarah a great deal. You-you don't want her, uh, using steroids. You're worried about what kind of effects those would have on her and you're- you're working hard to keep your smoking away from her so it doesn't affect her asthma." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Uh, would you mind if we talked a little bit about the chronic inhaler and the medicine that you're concerned about with, you know, the steroids because, you know, I certainly don't want her using a medicine that has steroids in it, like the ones that you're worried about for athletes. Uh, can we talk about that just a little bit?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Even though, uh, even though this medicine isn't the-the medicine that's in this is in the same broad family as the steroids you're worried about, and those are called anabolic steroids." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Which build people up and have masculinizing effects." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If-if I can draw an analogy-- Again, even though this medicine is in the same family as those big broad-broad family. If I could draw an analogy, a grape and a watermelon are in the same family of fruits, you know, and obviously, grape is much smaller than a watermelon. And if you eat one grape, you'd be fine. If you ate an entire watermelon, it can make you very sick. If we look at the grape as the medicine your daughter's taking, again, it's in the same broad family, the amount of drug that your daughter is getting is very small. Uh, and not only that it's not an anabolic steroid, even though it's in the same big family. And what this drug does is actually reduces the inflammation in your daughter's lungs. And-and it doesn't even get absorbed into the body. It only goes to her lungs. And as I said, I wouldn't want your daughter taking a medication that could have the impact of those anabolic steroids. This is really safe for your daughter to use. So what-what are your thoughts about considering having her using this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-I guess I didn't realize that they weren't the same thing as the anabolic steroids." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Which are the ones that cause all the problems and everything. So, um, if-if you can assure me that it's not going to have those same side effects and health problems-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, def-definitely would not. I mean, probably you saw the name corticosteroid and thought, \"uh-oh.\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You know. And so-- yeah, and that- and that does concern people. But I do want to reassure you that this is medication that only goes to her lungs, and won't get in her body and they're not the same kind of drugs as the ones you're worried about." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Do you mind if I talk to you a little bit about what your daughter's lungs are like when she's having these inflammations and needing to go to the emergency room?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. When-when somebody has asthma, their lungs are like hypersensitive. If I could use an analogy, again, if-if you had the skin burnt off your arm, if somebody brushed up against you before he had the skin burned off your arm, it wouldn't bother you at all. But when the skin's burned off your arm, you literally react to it. Her lungs are exquisitely sensitive. Uh, and like the skin on your arm would be if the skin got burned off. And what this drug can do? This chronic inhaler is reduce the inflammation in her lungs so that her lungs don't remain exquisitely sensitive. Because otherwise, everything in the air like dust, pollen, uh, reacts with her, uh, in ways that it would not normally affect us." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And so this chronic inhaler can really prevent that from happening. Okay? Which is why it's so important to use it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The other thing I was going to tell you is that, unfortunately, uh, even though you are smoking outside and keeping the smoke away from her, the smoke on your clothes, because her lungs are so sensitive, can also affect her lungs and cause her to have a reaction. Now, something I'd like you to think about is that, if you use the chronic inhaler every day, she may not be sensitive to the smoke on your clothes, but she still maybe because her lungs are just very different than ours. Um, honestly, I'd love to see you quit smoking for you too because, you know, as you know, it's not real good for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, and it would certainly help her. Um, but what I'd like you to do is to, kind of, keep an eye on what happens when she uses the chronic inhaler. And if she's still flaring up when you're around her, if there are any, if there is smoke on your clothes because it-it can flare her up." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, even when it's just on my clothes?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah.

It may not- it may not when she uses the chronic inhaler, uh, but you'll need to keep an eye on that. Obviously, it would be- what would be best if it didn't get on your clothes, or you quit smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right. Um, so would it help, um-- You know, the thought of quitting smoking is a pretty daunting aspect." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, I know people who've tried to quit and it's-it's just it's- it's really difficult, you know.

It's very relaxing, and-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And-and it's hard to replace it with something." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, it is. Um." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, uh, any thoughts on what you may be able to do to-to help at this point, if you don't choose to quit right away?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I was thinking, um, if since it, you know, it affects her that it's on my clothes, if I only smoked while she was at school, and then changed my clothes before she came home. Would that help?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, that-that sounds like it would be great if you were able to do that. Obviously, don't smoke in the house, you know- you know." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, absolutely. I never. Never." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, so yeah. If you're willing to do that, that certainly would help." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, again, if you get to the point sometime down the road where you're willing to quit for both you and her, uh, we'd be glad to help you do that.

What makes you confident that you can drink below risk levels and you remember what those are?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I think it's because you've told me I'm at risk and I have alcoholism in my family and I really don't want to go down that path. So I'm-I'm confident that I can change that at this point." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So that gives you a good reason not to drink. Okay. Anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, well, I have a group of friends that doesn't drink that I hang out with. And I think when I hang out with them, it's not an issue. So that also helps me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you have a support group that gives you the ability to have fun and still drink below risk levels?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Nope." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Now let's look at your self-evaluation of your birth control.

So on a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it to you to use effective birth control every time you have sex to keep from getting pregnant?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I would say an eight." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "An eight. Okay. And on a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you at the present time that you- that you can use effective birth control?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Every time,-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Every time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-probably a six." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Correctly as it's prescribed." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably a six." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Probably a six. Okay. So you're pretty confident that you can do it. And why are you a six and not a two or three?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I'm a six because I think if I drink less, I'll be more reliable with using birth control. I tend to not use it when I'm-- I drank too much and I don't really care too much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So it's kind of linked to your drinking, the fact that, um, that you can-- if you can take care of that drinking, you can take care of the-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-birth control issue and this importance comes down as your reason why you're not down here." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Very good. So it looks like, um, you're using a good method of birth control, you're just not able to use it effectively. And you've linked it back here to the drinking.

Who-who else in your life do you think would be supportive of you, and who would you need to let them know that you're actually going through this sort of program?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I, um, I'm separated at the moment from my missus and-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What was-- what was your partner's name?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, Kirsty." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Kristy." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I would- I would love f-f-for her to know that I'm doing this and for her to know that I mean it, but, um, I know she wouldn't give a shit right now actually." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right.

The reason why I'm asking this, Rick, is just, um, you know, part of, um, uh, being responsible is turning up and doing the program." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The other aspect of that is kind of like who we're going to be accountable to while we're doing the program. So one of the- one of the challenges, one of the riddle I'm going to put in front of you is like who else can we get involved to support you while you're going through this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't know. I don't, um, have that many people-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-that I am-- I don't have that many people I trust to support me. My mates, I love them but, um, yeah, I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So as we're gonna do this work together and go through this, uh, this program, one of the things we-we don't want to do is fall into the same trough we did last time. So I-I just want to leave that with you to think about next time we come together. There may be two or three other people that you think of that can be really supportive, that we-we need to let know that you're [unintelligible 00:10:50] each gonna make these changes and this time, you're serious about it.

How does that sound to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, let's give it some thought." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Rick, I get a sense that you're kind of padding this walk a little bit on your own at the moment. Would that be true?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. That'll definitely be true." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Your family is down south.

How would it be for your mum, do you think, if you were to tell her that this is something that you're-- is really important for you and that you know that this time you really need to do this for her and for the family? What-what might that be like for her to hear?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think she'd be proud of me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. All right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Brothers and sisters, that, uh, would also be very supportive if you were to make this journey?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. A good, uh, good family." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Good. So how would you go about getting them to support you, to come on board, and be accountable to doing this work together?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't know. Um, have some-somebody just to listen." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, um, I’m just trying to imagine what do you think your mom would want to say to you if she was sitting here with us now and she heard you talking about this?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "She would- she would tell me that she loves me. She would tell me that she believes that I could do it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm. What do you think she might want for you, like upon her for your children?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "For them to have a father they can look up to." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I’m getting a strong sense that's what you want as well." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It is what I want. Definitely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, in terms of having the confidence to do this with the support of your whānau and ours, where do you think your confidence level might be now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "If I had their support of my-my family and [silence] I want to say that would be higher. I just know I fucked it up in the past. If they were there to support me now, then I’d be 99% sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's a huge move up the scale, isn't it? So getting your family on board, getting your whānau on board is going to be really important for us." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." } ]

So you've been diagnosed by-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "A respirologist." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A respirologist diagnosed that, and-and how are you feeling right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'm- I'm really scared, uh, 'cause I don't feel well." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I haven't felt well for a while. I'm getting coughing fits even when I'm on the telephone with customers." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "All right. So it sounds like you've been smoking for such a long time and then this diagnosis was given to you, uh, and now that's really causing you to be afraid and frightened." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm. I-I don't know what I'm going to do about it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, okay. Now, have you thought about when you wanted to quit by?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'm giving myself six months, six months and-and, uh, that seems like a long time away, but I have a feeling I'm going to fail at this point in time. I don't even have 50%, uh, faith in myself." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So what I'm hearing you say is that, although you want to quit smoking in the next six months, you're feeling a bit, um, under-confident that you'll actually be able to do this and you're-you're worried about failing." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know what to do. I've tried to quit smoking. I've had, uh, I've taken pills, I've taken the patch." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I've gone through therapy. Uh, nothing's helped. I finally- I went to the doctor. I was actually in the hospital. They took me to the hospital for a week. That's the longest I quit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. So you've been able to quit smoking, but only when you were in the hospital." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I had no choice, I had no choice. And then the next day I was back to smoking again what I smoked." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Let me just step back a little bit and ask you a question so that I can better understand where the difficulty that you're having with is. Uh, could you tell me what is good about smoking for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, it's part of my life. It's, uh, I started smoking when I was 13, 14 at home. My parents smoked. All of their friends smoked. It was on television. Everybody looked so grand." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, smoking and all dressed up and-and fancy clothes and maybe having a drink in their hands and having a nice meal, um, I didn't really think about it. It's just an extension of me, I guess. It's-it's good for my nerves." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, I feel like it is. I know when I've got that package in my pocket, or I know if there- if I'm going through some stress, I say, \"Oh, well, I'll have a cigarette and think this out.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure. So, Jean, I want to make sure that I've understood what you've told me of what you find good about smoking. So it helps you calm down. It gives you something to do. It's been part of your image. You know, you feel sophisticated. You feel like a movie style. In fact, the way you talk about it, it seems like that's what it makes you feel like. Is that right?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That's right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Is there anything I missed?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I enjoy it. It just- it relaxes me. It's great after a meal, um, for me-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-we all just do it as a little group of people, uh, my family." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The people I work with, we go out in the courtyard-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-have a cigarette and talk. That's how you make friends. A lot of people, um, we're like a little group now, we're all- a little bunch of us." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So it's hard for you to quit smoking when everybody else around you is smoking. And it's so easy to go out and take a break and have a cigarette." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I-I never thought of it that way, but probably you're right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You've told me what is good about smoking for you. Uh, can you tell me what is not so good about smoking for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, it's bad for my health and it's scaring me 'cause I don't feel well." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I haven't felt well for a while. I'm getting coughing fits even when I'm on the telephone with customers." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Is there anything else that's not good about smoking for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, it's expensive, really got expensive, and I smoked 30, 40, sometimes 50 cigarettes a day. And I'm starting to buy different makeup 'cause I'm starting to really age, starting to get lines in my face and wrinkles and my skin is getting really clogged up and I'm spending a fortune on cosmetics." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So let me make sure I've understood this piece as well. So the not good things or the not so good things about smoking for you are the effects on your health, effects on your physical appearance and how you'll look and-and-and the amount of investment that you're making in makeup and getting your nails done, et cetera. And then the cost of smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So-so let me ask you this, given everything going on in your life right now on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the most important thing to do, and 1 would be the least important thing to do, how important is it for you to quit smoking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's for me, for my health, and for the money and everything I've said, I would say it's 10 or- out of 10 that I should quit smoking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Definitely most important." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes. A hundred percent, one of the most important things." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Let me ask another question and follow up to that. Again, given everything going on, where 10 is the most confident you've ever felt about anything and 1 is the least confident, how confident are you that you will be able to quit?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I, I'd say 35 or 40% competent." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "35-40%. Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I'd like to say more, but, um-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Now, help me understand why you said 40 and not something like 10 or zero because you mentioned that you don't even want to quit." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I'm- I guess I'm still a fighter, and I-I-I- it's starting to- I'm starting to realize it and I do feel pretty good that I came to see you. I-I- it was a step and a couple of people who care about me actually, uh, gave me a pat on the back that I came to see you. So-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-this was a big step. So I guess, yes. Um, it wouldn't have been as high maybe last week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So you said 30 to 40%. What would it take to build that confidence to about 45%?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Maybe if I could come to see you again, or maybe some ideas were suggested, maybe if there was a group or something. I-I don't know, but I-I need some help." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So if you got help, that would help you say that you went from 40% to 45%." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I-I think so because I feel a little better that I just came to see you today." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Discussing things helps me. I always feel better when I get things out." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So Jean, I really want to congratulate you on taking this very important first step towards addressing this problem that you've had for such a long time, but as the first small step, I wonder whether you'd be open to actually just monitoring your smoking for the next week. And the reason why I say that- because as you were mentioning to me, smoking is so automatic for you that sometimes writing it down helps make every cigarette a conscious act. And I noticed that you were saying to me, you feel a loss of control over these cigarettes. And sometimes just being mindful and writing something down will help you get some control over what you're doing. And that's often the first small step. What are your thoughts about that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "In other words, think about it more, don't- don't just do it automatically." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's correct. And writing it down helps that process." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah. I think so because, um, when I get the urge, I could maybe fight it and, um, maybe wait till the next urge-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and maybe mark that down that, uh, I didn't go right away when something went wrong. Um, yes, I-I can try that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. And I can give you a little card that can help you keep track of it. And if you can bring that back to the next appointment, it could be something we could discuss. Okay. Anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, that gives me something to work towards until I see you next week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Excellent. Well, thank you so much for coming in today." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Thank you for seeing me, doctor." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're welcome." } ]

I also know she has been in the emergency room several times this year. Is-- can you tell me what's going on there?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I did a research on the chronic inhaler, and I saw that there were steroids in it, and I do not want my daughter taking steroids. I read about all the side effects of steroids and all the potential health problems. I don't want her taking them, and I just want to tell you right up front, I do not want to hear anything about the fact that I do smoke. Um, I smoke outside, I smoke away from her. I do not ever do it around her. So I do not want to hear about that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, I-I need to tell you that the-the medicine that she's taking, the chronic inhaler, which is really essential to controlling her asthma does-- is not a steroid like you're thinking. It's-it's much safer, it's very safe, she-- and she needs to take it to get her asthma under control, and I also want to tell you that, uh, your smoking does affect her asthma, even if- even if it's outside, it gets on her clothes, and to be honest, I'd like to see you quit smoking for you anyway. But, uh, if you want to keep her out of the emergency room, she needs to use that chronic inhaler every day, and you need to watch your smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, I-I am not going to allow her to take any kind of steroid. I am not going to allow that to happen. She's my daughter. She's my responsibility, and I'm not going to allow that to happen, and I absolutely make sure that the smoking does not affect her." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, I, you know, I-I don't want to argue with you about this. I-I know that if you-you know, and if you want to keep Sarah out of the emergency room, uh, I-I just wish you'd heed what I'm saying. She needs to use that chronic inhaler every day to get her- to get her asthma under control, and the smoke on your clothes and the smoking flares her asthma up. So she really needs to use that chronic inhaler, and you really need to think about quitting smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Fine. I'm in a really big hurry, and I need to get those prescriptions filled as soon as possible, please." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, well, I-I hope you really listen to what I'm telling you about her using that chronic inhaler, and I hope you consider quitting smoking." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Fine.

[ { "from": "gpt", "value": "So there are a lot of different directions that we could take. Um, you've mentioned wanting to make changes in your physical activity. You've mentioned wanting to make changes in your eating habits and also just wanting more body confidence. Um, what- what's on your mind is as far as a- as a change topic for the rest of our session today?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think the activity piece is the kind of low-hanging fruit that I see. Um, I feel like it's gonna be harder for me to change some of my nutrition habits right out the gate, but if I can get into maybe an activity routine, that that could be good to help maybe some of the other changes happen later." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Okay. So physical activity is feeling like the easiest change to look at first." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. So tell me a little bit more about your motivators for getting started in being more physically active. I know you shared energy levels and I know you've shared, um, that you'd like to see a boost in your mood and feeling less irritable and stressed. Any other benefits that really make you wanna make this change right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think just to feeling like physically stronger, um, like physically more able. Uh, last night I like struggled with the jar of salsa, like opening it. So I think that just stuff like that, um, you know, would be in addition to mood and being more productive and energy and all that stuff. Um, yeah, that that would be a definite end goal for me too. And then really to like, I think if I am more active, I think my body image or my body confidence would improve also." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So you're wanting to feel stronger so that you can open jars and other things and- and also just have a better sense of confidence." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Great. So on a scale from zero to 10, zero being not at all ready to make a change in the area of physical activity, and 10 being let's- let's do this. I'm excited. I'm ready. Um, where- where do you fall on that scale?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm, I'd say I'm about an eight." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay.

Um, so yeah, all of those things I think are what's really driving that- that rating." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. You're noticing there- there are too many great benefits to being physically active and, um, today you've mentioned energy, mood, strength and body confidence." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Am I missing anything else?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't think so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay.

You're right, yeah. I'd like to be able to do that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. And what would, uh, what would help you get to the point of actually, um, booting them out?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um. [sighs] I don't know, I'm-I'm, I guess, I'm kind of, um, I care about the person and, you know, there's a certain amount of comfortability of having somebody with you, you know, and I'm just, so, I guess I am at war with myself because part of me wants the comfort of having a companion and the other part of me is just, you know-- I-I cannot-- I am not really sure what I wanna do, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm.

You feel like a burden to mom, that stresses you out. That makes you sad. You see how much she struggles, but also on the same hand, we see how much you've been trying and how much you've been trying to help out by trying to go to school. We know your attendance is good. You go most of the time, you know, you're trying to keep up your grades.You have a C average, even having A in math, which we know was the lowest grade you had all semester.

Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-um, we-we're-- You're here probably because of your speeding ticket. That's what I gathered." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah.

You know, I just, uh-- And I used poor judgment. I shouldn't have driven that night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Yeah. Um, I was-- Maybe, you could tell me about how much you drank." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I don't really remember. I know, uh, I dunno, I probably had five or six drinks, I would think, something like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Five, six drinks, like?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, yeah, they were a little bigger than that. I don't really-- I wasn't really counting, so, I don't really know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay. So, I guests maybe five or six." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Five or six, something like that. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, yeah.

Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay. So, um, you said that it was pretty much just five or six. Do you-- How often do you use that? And you said it's not a-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-not a normal occasion for you to drink that much?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Normally I drink one or two, and that's kind of it, you know, this one I did, uh- you know, I did feel a little drunk when I was- you know, when I was drinking, I just, uh, used poor judgment. I really shouldn't have drove." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Yeah. Um, so, you usually don't drink that much. Um, on an average, maybe a week, how much would you say you drink? Just--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, sometimes I drink, um, you know, maybe one or two, and then I- and then I won't drink for a while, you know. So, it's not really a-- There's not really a pattern-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh" }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know, it's not really like a uh- it's not a habit, you know," }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I-I don't know if I would consider myself alcoholic.

Oh, that's good." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, um, looking back, Mike, uh, when was it that you started thinking that when you did use alcohol, um, most in your life?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, there was really not a time that I, uh-- I don't know. I-I don't understand the question really. I mean, it-- There really wasn't-- I don't really drink on a normal basis, so, I don't know-- [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, that is- that is a complete, uh-- A question that is even applicable?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's fine." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's fine. Okay. Um, so, what about the, uh- the first DUI, could you tell me a little bit about that? This was your second one?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And so, that's sort of why I was asking about it earlier in your life if that was a--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It seems like every time that I, uh, do drink more than a couple of drinks, I tend to get in trouble. And, the two times that I did, I got in trouble both times. [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It was those two times. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it's-- It sounds strange, I know, but, uh--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It sounds like bad luck." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Actually, that-that's followed me around pretty much my whole life, the bad luck thing." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But the-the-the-the-the alcohol hasn't really at all." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But just that bad luck?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Is there alcohol with the- with-- Goes hand in hand with the bad luck or just--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure seems like it. Yeah. It sure seems like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Oh, okay. So-so, what about that? The-- Is there other incidences that you could think of that seems, uh, um, alcohol was there, and then your luck just sorta took a-a turn, or it was just those two times?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, you know, I don't really, um-- I-I don't really, uh, get into a situation where I-I-I drink too much. Um, you know, again, I-I realize it's my second DUI, but,, um, uh-uh, it isn't something that, um, is like a normal everyday process for me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, you know, normally when I drink, I drink one or two drinks and then I stop. Um, so, it's not like it's, um-- You know, it's not like it's something that has become a problem in my life, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, good. Oh, good. And-and so, where do you usually, um, have your drinks? Is it at home or, uh, out-out for, uh- after work, social drinking?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, it's normally social." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It's normally social. It would be, you know, maybe in events or something like that is normally when I would, um, maybe drink more than one or two." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I guess I should probably just call a taxi cab or something, you know. That way, I wouldn't have this problem." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Would that help?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, probably, I think that would help. I think that would be something that I should, uh- I should work on." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, it sounds like you've already been thinking about, uh, ways to-to get around safely." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah, or I can just stay home probably too. If I was gonna drink, I could probably stay home, then I wouldn't get in trouble either." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You have been giving this a lot of thought." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, a little bit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, good." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, obviously, because I just don't-- You know, I don't like getting in trouble, and I don't, uh--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Trouble's not fun." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "No." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So, tell-tell me a little bit more about, um, when you fi-- If you'd find yourself, and then that-that thought comes about maybe doing something other than getting in the- in the car, does that come and go, or-or is it something that you think you-- Next time you might do?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, oh, I'll never get in the car when I'm drinking again. That-- Yeah. I-I would never do that again." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "This, it-- What-what-what was different?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I don't want to lose my license, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't, uh, you know, I don't wanna lose my license." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Wow. You-you need your license-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-to get around. You need your license for work." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, and then I-I sell cars for a living too, so--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-um, you know, that would be, um-- You know, I don't wanna lose my job either. You know, I think those would kind of be connected together." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And, you know, I-- You're not gonna call my work or anything for this, are you?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "No." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "No, no. That's--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "All right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That would be entirely up to you, um, to-to have that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. I just didn't know how that worked." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, no." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Because I think if they found out, I might, you know, be in jeopardy with my job. So--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you're here. And-and-and I have you give, uh-uh, credit for that. It took a lot to come in today and, um, when, um- when somebody is actually talking safety for themselves, which I-I hear you saying, um, calling a taxi or-or staying home." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, what does staying home look like for you? Is that something that-- You know, you-you talked about drinking at an event. Would staying home be--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, you know, the Super Bowl is coming up, and that might be an opportunity where, you know, I might-- I could see myself maybe drinking that day, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So, maybe I would just, uh-- I think I'll just have people come over to my house instead of going somewhere else, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That would work for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think so, and probably a smarter thing to do. I don't wanna go through this again, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, so, uh, would people come and drink at your house, and then they would be fine with that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, an event at your house." }, { "from": "human", "value": "There you go." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, good. That sounds good. Mike, has there even been, if any, um, a time in your life when you've thought about, um, not drinking at all?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "For my first DUI, I did, uh-- I didn't drink at all for about six months. And, um, I-I-I just didn't think that, um, I really had a problem with it, so, you know, I-I did start drinking again. But, you know, again, it wasn't uh-- You know, it was a little different last time, because I was drinking a little more last time than, you know, now. I don't really drink as-as much as I used to drink, you know, um, and, you know, after you know, I quit for six months, so I kind of knew that I didn't really have a problem." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Six months. That's a long time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What were those six months like for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I know it was kind of strange. My friends didn't really hang out with me too much. Um--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Friends?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. You know, I, uh." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Whi-which? If you don't mind me asking, which friends were those? I don't mean to get too personal, but, the friends that normally drank with you or just your-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, my friends." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-social circles. Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Just my social circle, I guess, uh--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Wha-wha-what do you think made-made them n-not hang out with you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably 'cause I didn't- I wasn't drinking with them, I guess. I don't really know. I mean, it seemed, uh--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Did you ask them?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, no. I really couldn't because my girlfriend really wouldn't let me hang with them. You know? I mean, it was, uh-- She said that if I, you know, kept hanging out with them guys, that she wasn't gonna be with me anymore. And I just thought that it was better for me to, you know, calm down for a little bit and, uh, maybe things would get better with us, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And your girlfriend's important to you-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and that relationship was important to you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, it was until she left, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "At the time it was important, yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Is it-- Why'd she leave?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, she left when I started drinking again." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, after the six months." }, { "from": "human", "value": "After the six months, she, uh-- You know, it's kinda, I dunno, she just said that it wasn't gonna work out, and, uh, she decided not to continue with the relationship." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay. So-so, um, you started drinking again, and then she left?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, it was about the same time. I really don't know which came first. It was about the same time. Uh, we were getting in a lot of arguments. I just didn't quite feel myself. You know, I-I-I wasn't-- My friends weren't around. I, uh-- You know, I missed going out with them." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You felt isolated?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It was kind of weird 'cause I felt like she was trying to control me, and, uh- and uh, you know, I, uh-- And she was telling me what to do all the time, and I just, uh, didn't feel right about the whole situation. So, it was pretty much, we both decided, you know, that it just wasn't the right thing to do, so." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, so you're-you're an independent guy-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-and, no one's going to tell you what to do." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I guess. Sure. Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. So, have, uh-- So then, you started drinking again, and that was-- If you could just kind of give me a little timeframe of how long ago that was, that-that six months of complete--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "[clear throat] Well, let's see. The first one was, uh, three years ago, and then, um, this one was a few weeks ago, so, um, it's been a few years, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Absolutely. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It's been a few years" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, in-in what ways has, uh, drinking, um, sort of, uh-- What is kind of the good things about drinking since those couple of- those couple of years, and then-then maybe not so good things?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't really know that I can really compare good or bad. I just, uh-- You know, I just drink to be social, you know, I don't know that it really changes anything about me. It just, uh-- You know, I just drink to be social, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. And those friends that were not hanging around with you, did they come back?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. As soon as my girlfriend left, I could go out with them again, you know. [laughter]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Did they not get along with your girlfriend?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, she didn't want me going out with them." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "She thought that they really--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "She was separate then from your other friends and-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-those relationships just didn't come together?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "She blamed the first DUI on them. She said, you know, because I was out with them, that it was pretty much, you know, they-they made me drink too much that night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And what do you think?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think she was right on that. Yeah, absolutely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, you-you--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, if they wouldn't have gave me those shots, you know, towards the end of the night, I would've been all right. You know, I could have drove, and I wouldn't have, uh- I wouldn't have hit that mailbox." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You would have been fine if they didn't- if they didn't give you those-those shots. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, so, the-the-the mailbox, where did that come in? That was the-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "That was--" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-first DUI that got you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I was on-- It was like I was a couple of blocks away from the house and I, uh, rolled up on the neighbor's lawn and I took out their mailbox." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That must have been scary." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't really remember too much of that night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, that was blackout type?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, I don't know if I was blacked out, but I just don't remember a lot of it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I wouldn't really call it a blackout. I just don't really-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-remember how that happened." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I'm-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to assume that-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-it was blackout that-- Forgive me for that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Yeah. It's all right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, so, that it was sort of after that that the girlfriend-- Your girlfriend, I don't know, well, her name. Um, your girlfriend decided-- The mailbox and she's--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, Mary-Mary, just [crosstalk] Well, after-after I got the-the-- After I hit the mailbox-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-um, I stopped drinking for, you know, like about six months, and, uh, you know, and we were trying to work things out, but it just didn't-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-it just didn't work." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think she became a little too possessive at that point." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. You felt like she was the only person that, um, you had in your life, you needed your friends and--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, I think she just wanted to control me and I was tired of being controlled." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "No one likes to be controlled, uh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, and, in what ways, well, did you feel that, um, uh, at any time, did you feel controlled by your friends. You said they-they made you drink those shots. That-that sounded like maybe you felt a little controlled? But-- [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I was-- They just-- No, they weren't- they weren't really controlling me. They just-- They shouldn't have given me the last couple shots, 'cause you, they-they knew I was pretty, you know, uh, messed up before that. So-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know, that when they- when they-- You know, when they gave me the last, you know, couple shots, that kind of put me over the edge." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right, they weren't looking out for your best interest at that point." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Pretty much, pretty much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And then sent you out in your car." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean I guess it was my decision to take the, uh- you know, the other shots, but I-I just-- I don't know. I really don't really remember too much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's a hindsight again." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. You can blame hindsight a little bit. I mean, that works for me. [laughter]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hindsight? Oh, yeah, they'll-- it'll take the- it'll take the blame. Um, so, you still-- Do you still, uh, you know, you started drinking again, and then, um, the second DUI, what-- Is it the same circle of social-social circle, same friends?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Same type of situation. [crosstalk]" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I mean, they've been my friends since, you know, uh, since high school." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, they're important to you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, absolutely." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm.

So, uh, how often do you think you'll be needing that plan in the--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It'd probably be my wallet for a while, I would think, 'cause I-- Like I said, I don't really think I have a problem with, uh- with the drinking, you know.

Thank you very much. I just wanted to review a couple of things on here. I noticed that you said that you drink two to three times a week, drink three or four drinks at a time when you do drink, and weekly, um, have more drinks than that. So six or more drinks, it says on here." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Does that sound realistic?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, uh, on the weekends?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, okay. I just wanted to let you know, I'm a little bit concerned about your level of drinking. We know that excessive drinking can make problems worse or can actually cause health problems at times, and I was just wondering if you thought about the connection between your drinking and things like the anxiety and the insomnia that you came in with today?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I guess I haven't really thought much of it. Um, you know, I don't really think I drink that much in the first place-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-so I have a hard time believing that it's causing my anxiety." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "In fact, on the nights when I don't drink, I-I have a harder time going to sleep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, you're not alone, a lot of people think that drinking helps them sleep better, and in reality, drinking might make you fall asleep faster, but it has what's called this rebound effect, and this rebound effect means that you wake up, may, might wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning and have a hard time falling back asleep." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I, yeah, I guess I do have abo-about 2:00 AM, I tend to wake up on the nights I drink too much." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Well, I just wanted to just show you this little chart here. For your age as a male, you're drinking more than those at a low-risk level. Um, the low-risk level for men under 65 is no more than 14 drinks a week and no more than four a day. And, in this case, a drink is considered 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or an ounce and a half of distilled spirits. And you're right, you're not drinking as much as some people out there. The way you answered our questions here, you're actually falling in the high-risk category, the risky or hazardous category, category two." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Jeez, no. I didn't think I was that bad." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's why it's helpful to look at this and give some perspective. On a scale of 1-10, what is your readiness to change, 1 being I don't want to change at all, and 10 is I really want to change?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know. I mean, this is all news to me. I've, I don't want to do anything to put myself at risk and I've always thought of myself as a pretty healthy guy. I guess I'd put myself right in the middle of the five." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, that's great. That's halfway there. What kept you from just giving it a one or two, something lower?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, you know I'm training for the marathon, and that's why I'm coming in, is because I need to be able to get my sleep back on track, but I also don't think of myself as a hazardous drinker, and I'm certainly not an alcoholic. So, that's-that's why the middle-ground, five." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, that's a good place to start. So, I heard you say your health is important, and you're getting ready to run a marathon, so you wanna be able to do what you can to make that successful. And you also were a little bit surprised that you fell into this risky or hazardous category." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So, based on all that information, what are you willing to think about doing to change right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, I-I think the natural thing would be to cut back a little on my drinking." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So, what would that look like for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm, um, you know, I-I guess drinking no more than maybe three or four times a week, and-and on the weekends, which is when I would drink the most, cup back to no more than five or six beers." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay, okay. Well, sometimes when people aren't ready to make changes like this, it helps if they write down their goals, it gives them a chance to see them in black and white. If you were to look at this little form here and figure out where you want to go with your drinking, what would you put down as your goal?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, doing the math, I guess no more than 18 drinks a week." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. So that's an improvement. So you're headed in the right direction. I do wanna let you know that with 18 drinks a week, you're still falling above this low-level risk category, and that it would be my recommendation that at some point you would fall below into this 14 or less a week. But it's an improvement, and it's a great place to start, and I really commend you for your willingness to take a look at this and try to make some improvements." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Thanks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So I'm hoping that in your appointment next month, we can touch base on this and see how it's going." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay.

It was, you know, it was a possession, you know what I mean?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So you didn't hurt anybody." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, I didn't." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You didn't hurt anything, right?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "It's really frustrating because-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-it's almost like I-I don't wanna give up, but it's like, I'm not given any other choice, you know?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah, 'cause you're-you're, especially with going back to school and having done all that footwork and stuff. I mean, you really have something to offer somebody." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I do, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. And, um, and at the time the big crisis was actually maybe prison and all the crisis around the arrest and-and, uh, you know, it's like you're a leper and the leper colony." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Um, have there been any times when you've started the interview with that conversation so that you don't even have to go through the whole thing and then get rejected?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Not that I can think of, no." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I think—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What do you think would happen if you did that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Probably get booted out right away-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know? Um—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Would that be, um, what would they be like versus getting through this great interview, knowing you're-you're good for the job and all that kind of stuff, and then they boot you out?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, it's-it's sucks either way. You know what I mean?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. It's, uh, I mean the lesser of two evils is that what we're getting at-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know what I mean? If it's gonna make things more efficient like as if-if you're what you're trying to say is if that's something that I could do and then if they get past it, then now I know that there's an actual intention by the hiring people to hire me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right. If that's a deal-breaker and you both know it from the very beginning, I'm wondering if then really the interview is really something else. I mean, whether they get the job would truly be based on the interview and not-not your criminal record." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think as far as maybe efficiency, you know, weeding out the things, not wasting my time, you know, but I had to tell you something, a lot of the people that don't care about that type of thing-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-are not the sort of jobs that I really wanna be doing. You know what I mean? Um, I don't know, it's just really frustrating." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Not like you're working for the government or for a bank or, you know, the FBI where- those are not things you're applying for.

I have apparently the type that has to go on the governor's desk next to death row, you know, inmates or the candidates for, um, a gov- a governor's, uh, pardon. I-- That's what it all boils down to is that I have a class one felony-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-that needs to be, if any, you know, options, the only option I have is for, um, governor's clemency and I can't figure out why because it's-it's, I mean, I just, I maybe there is a loophole somewhere, I don't know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I-I didn't know that. So I, you know, I know a little bit about it, um, and not, yeah. So that's-that's very interesting. Oh, what about advocacy groups?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I've looked into, um, a fe- um, I've looked into a few groups that are supposedly helping convicted felons get-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-work." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, again, the-the only-- I mean, I think what I saw was a whole bunch of, you know, dead end jobs." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And the other thing that I saw was that it was very politically charged. You know, I didn't think that, um, I was, uh, you know, allowed to kind of get an interview right away with one of those counselors that they offer. Um, I-- it just didn't seem like a type of place that was willing to help, you know. And-and, uh, I saw that there was a lot of, um, I wouldn't say racism but I would say a little bit of racial favor, I suppose. And, uh, I found it really hard to get in and to get an interview with a counselor to match me up with a job. Um, I think that those-those types of groups are cool if they work. I just haven't had any luck with, um- at working with- through that group." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, you know, I don't know. I don't know if there's anything else out there." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. So you're-you're Middle Eastern. So you wonder-- I-I bet you've had experiences where you really have experienced some absolute racism and prejudice because of that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And then, um, you walk into these places and they might just be almost storefront-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-type places. And the job market is terrible." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right. It's-it's, uh-- There is a lot stacked up against me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Let's just put it like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know, uh, but that isn't—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "What do you have going for you?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, that's what-- yeah. That's-- I mean, uh, I'm able to, um-- I'm able to carry a conversation." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "So at some point, I would imagine that maybe I strike up conversation with the right person-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-that would probably want to hire me regardless of that sort of thing. Um, I think that at the this point in time, that it doesn't really matter what degree you have. I don't believe that it matters where you went to school. I think it's all about who you know. You know, we live in a very politically charged city. And I think that even if we didn't live in a politically charged city, at this point, jobs are so scarce that people who know people who know people are the ones that are ending up, um, at work-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and getting jobs. And I think that, um, if I continue to, you know, go to school and, uh, you know, uh, get time from that felony, you know. So it's been seven years now and—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's a long time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. And at some point, I probably don't even have to report it, you know, and I have that going for me. It's been seven years.

Um—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And you can- you can prove that and document that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. A lot of folks can't." }, { "from": "human", "value": "They don't." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. And you've been going to school. I mean, all-all your movement is in this really positive, highly motivated way. And, um- and I think your-your thoughts and ideas about the fact that one day a conversation will- you'll strike up with somebody and it will happen to be with somebody who works for a company that perhaps does not have a policy against hiring people with felony convictions." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Well, that's my hope." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's individual. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. That's my hope." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It-it is individual." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It is. It should be. You know, I-I—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It-- I believe it is." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "There's no-- I don't think, any State or federal law that says." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, no.

It's—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "But here's the thing is—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right person, right company-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-we're looking for here. Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The thing is after, you know, after the 9/11 attacks, a lot of companies have blindly implemented, you know, those types of situa- and-and there's no- there isn't, at this point-- I mean, I don't think, at this point, there is no real sure fire way to find out what those reports are, you know, accurate or not.

I have one and, uh, um." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Good for you doing that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Smart." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. Thank you. I don't know. I'm just, I guess-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Discouraged." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-what I'm really—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Discouraged, yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I'm really here because I think I'm- I-I- It's a very dangerous area for me when I'm discouraged because-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know, all the- despite all the good things that I have going for me, the only thing that's loud and clear are the things that I don't have going for me." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "If that makes any sense." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, yeah, it does. Uh, I am yet to- it-it seems to me just in this time we've been talking together that you, um, um, do have a sense that a lot of it has to do-do with, uh, timing, luck, who you know, and being, are you able to have that conversation where you know that you can sell yourself and your skills and, um, and your competencies and the fact that you've overcome so many things like, um, substance abuse problem and, uh, have been, you know, uh, a good upstanding citizen all this time. Um, to me, if I were an employer, you know, I would- I would be impressed with that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Thank you." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-- You're welcome. And- so what about, um, I know I had a client that told me a couple of things. He was doing some work on this, uh, if you- if you'd be interested I could tell you what he shared with me." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah, I am." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Um, he found the most valid information on blogs done by felons." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, okay." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "They are your experts." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Very interesting." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And, uh, they-they are actually, uh, uh, much what you have said, they said, but they also, uh, uh, talked about which places and companies they did find were open. For instance, family-owned businesses just tend to-- They can, if they can--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, again, it's like who you know, right?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Right, right." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I know that-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Or start your own business. That was another thing that I thought was really--" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, well, I think that's what I got. That's what I am doing. That's what I'm sort of involved with now is like, you know, find, um, you know, I'm still continuing to go to school, but I'm also starting, um, work for myself. Um, you know, it's not no Fortune 500 company or anything, but I do have a little bit of income coming in from that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Um, it-it, uh, you know, it will all come together." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So being an entre- being an entrepreneur fits for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know what? Actually, one of the things is that I read is that is that's one of the things you gotta do is just, uh, start your own business. You know what I mean? Uh, you don't have to report to anybody. I mean, obviously, I can't work with, um-- unless I get a waiver I can't work with, like, I think the law says I can't work with kids or, um, like a hazmat stuff." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like truck driving and stuff like that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Uh, but that doesn't matter to me. You know what I- you know, I'm kind of- I'm trying to look at the things that I can do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Well, that, you know, now that's a-a really different way of looking at it than how you were looking at what you can do versus what's getting in your way that you know you can't do." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So, um, what kinda- what-what are you starting? What's this business? If you-you don't have to tell me if you don't want, I know it's on the up and up, but you don't have to tell me if you don't want." }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, it's, um, uh, like a party planning event, you know, like a wedding planning, not like a wedding planner, but like—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You'd be so good at that." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like, you know, like corporate events when they have, you know, like an event, you know, they need-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-you know, they need chauffeured transportation, limos, they need that type of thing. I, um, I'm involved in the planning of the transportation from airports, uh, hotel arrangements, um, uh, booking of, uh, you know, the rooms. It's just, I guess just an event planner, but it's not through any sort of corporate, um, uh, company [unintelligible 00:19:40]." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You-you would be the corporate company." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to get—" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "CEO." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "[laughter]" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't know about that, but, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So. Yeah, I- I've heard that-that in recession, uh, those are often the best opportunities for people to start doing business is to, um, see an area where you see a need go in and fill it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I think that's my only, uh, uh, I know it's not my only-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "One." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-but it's-it's- it's a good, It's a good opportunity to, um, kind of work for myself. I would love to just be able to work for myself, you know? Um." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're comfortable with that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I am, I am comfortable with it and I do well. I do well at-at, you know, the few opportunities I've had to organize something like that. Um, it's okay. You know, um, at least I'm still going to school though, you know I'm going to be done with that." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I know. That's fantastic. It is." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I don't want to act out, you know, I mean, I'm, you know, I think I have-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Acting out would be what?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Well, you know, I dunno, um, going back to a lifestyle, you know, crime or, um, using, or you know, just destructive behavior-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. Gottcha." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-and sort of destructive behavior. I don't wanna be destructive. I wanna be productive, you know." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Like you are now." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Like I am now, but it's-it's starting to get-- Like I said, I mean, I wouldn't have come in here if things were just peachy keen, you know what I mean? It sucks. And I'm getting sick of, you know, rejection and it's like almost, it makes me think like, why am I even going to school? You know? Should I just drop out and just, you know, get jobs that are, you know, I mean, that's not enough, that's not a viable option for me either.You know, I just, I don't, I wanna make sure that I'm centered here so that I can go out there and do the best I can with maintaining composure, and then trying to get ahead. But if I'm not okay here, here, you know, I just, I don't think that I have, I don't stand a chance, you know?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "So the-the-the law of, um, felony convictions is-is something that you don't have any control over. I mean, nobody does. So, um, you know, and I'm thinking about how you were talking about getting all the way through the interview and then getting rejected, you know, versus being upfront about it and-and even on the telephone to see whether it's a deal breaker or not, because it must- it sounds like it's so much harder to have that good interview and walk out of there ad know you've done well, and then get turned down." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean, I just recently had one of those where I was gonna be offered. I- he-- I think he was-- I'm pretty sure he was offering him a really good job." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And, uh, it was an interview given to me by my brother, you know, who knew the guy. And, um, it went great until he gave me the paperwork to sign for a background check. And I said, well, you know, I'll sign it, but I just wanna let you know that this is what you're gonna find." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "And your brother didn't know that when he gave you the lead on the job, that there was a background check involved?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "No, he did. He said, you know, don't say anything until, you know-- I don't know if I know what he said. I think he said that he's not sure if they do." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay." }, { "from": "human", "value": "He said, just go ahead and give it a shot anyway, you know, and, um, I just, I figured I'd just give her a shot, but I think I like your, I think to spare myself some, uh, frustration and further agony-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-I think that I might try that. I think I might try, you know, from now on you know, uh, finding like a tactful way of asking, you know, I don't wanna be blunt about it and go you know, \"Do you hire criminals?\" or anything." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You're not a criminal." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I'm a former criminal though." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "That's right. You're rehabilitated." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A plus shining new guy." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Right. So, I know that I am a new guy, but, uh, they don't, you know, so I think society's a lot less forgiving." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Oh, I think so, too." }, { "from": "human", "value": "And individuals, and um, so I think I'm gonna try-- I think that's a really good idea is to kind of like weed out, you know, but how do you say that? You know. How-how do you possibly tell somebody, you know, how do you- how do you get that out there before you go in?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I guess I would just have a tendency to say it. I'm a recovering person, and back in my former life, I have a felony conviction. And before we go any further, I don't wanna waste your time. Uh, would that be a problem in even getting the interview, what would you think about saying something like that?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Hmm. Seems, uh, sort of forward, you know, but I-I think that it's probably better if I do tell them so I don't waste my time and hope." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You know, yeah. I think I'm gonna try that from now on." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Okay. I mean, I'd be happy if you wanna work on a few, you know, things, uh, to write down that sound comfy and fit, you know, how you talk and you use words and stuff. 'Cause I-I also think, you know, interviewing is a good schoo- a good skill, and the more you do it, the better you get at it. And you've been getting a lot of practice at it. So that's-that's been useful too." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I mean, even-even though you get turned down, that feels terrible. The actual and, I bet you with every single one, you get better at it." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. I mean the interview process-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh-huh, uh-huh." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-itself, no, I don't think I ever- yeah. No, I-I mean, I don't believe that I have a problem with the actual interview process." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. I bet you're even better now." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah. It's been a lot." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "You got lots of practice." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Been a lot, yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah. Well then lastly, just getting back, um, to this, another source that that same client was an advocacy group called the John Howard Society." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Mm-hmm." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "I don't know if you've ever-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I have heard of it. I haven't-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "human", "value": "-looked into it yet, but-" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Uh, he, yeah, uh, he- they have a lot of, uh, they have a lot of really good stuff on there about this because they're trying to change the laws about that because-" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "-they are so, um, they are so prejudicial. They really are. And I would check with the ACLU too.
