Alcohol Rehabilitation Program Vs Court Order To Not Drink

One of my co-workers has an alcoholic wife who is court ordered not to
drink or have anything to do with alcohol. When I asked her to enter an
alcohol rehabilitation program, she said that such a program would
violate the court order! Is such a bizarre situation true? If so, what
idiot made up that rule????? Both she and I live in Davis, California,
which is in Yolo County.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but then it is California...

Ask the judge for a clarification and see if rehab is acceptable.

Richard,

Yours is a good answer but I think there's a better one. The OP should
butt out. I think he's been told that they do not seek or want his help and
advice.

Any truth to that?

Not. The OP was simply asking a question. I think the woman has
misunderstood exactly what the court order is. I believe a rehab
center would be acceptable as they certainly are not about to serve
alcohol at one.
But then, in california, it could happen.

Is this the same 'wife' who is/was going to 2 meetings a day and
having dates with her husband? The one you gave all the snappy & sappy
little sayings to?

It would most likely be the court that made the 'rule' if it's a
'court order' and though it does sound a little off the wall it could
well be the Judge is Raisin's cousin.

Sounds more n' more like you are fingerfuckin' in a blueberry pie dat
ain't your's to be messin' with. Being from Davis maybe you should
mosey over to the farm and find another cow to be herdin'.

What's this 'in california' stuff floating around here? California is
well known for raising it's own nuts & fruits, but most of the one's
with eye's walking around are imports from lesser states.

There are alot of bizare situations in the police states.

Like having to go through a gauntlet of armed guards to obtain health
care.

In Florida God throws parapalegics out of wheel chairs.

Perhaps yes, perhaps no. That's my interpretation of the OP's
post,though. He should just butt out.
The OP may not know any of the relevant facts, he's a co-worker of the
husband of the woman. He shouldn't spend a lot of time gossiping about his
co-worker's wife in the coffee room.
The excuse that she can not enroll in an alcoholism program by order of
the judge is just not credible. Investigating this ridiculous excuse and
throwing it back in his co-worker's face may not be wise. I doubt that the
coworker believed the excuse.
