He states that he encountered problemsafter losing his job last year and was drinking heavily when he washome alone all day.

Jared and Kyle have been partners for the pastfour years, and own their home together. Kyle is an active memberof his church and has a job that provides income. Jared wants toreturn to being a contributing member of their family as well. Healso wants to build new relationships and is considering joining asobriety group at Kyle's church, but he hesitates because he sayshe feels confused about his own spiritual beliefs. Jared says hewants to feel better about himself and his life; he wants to avoidslipping back into depression and using alcohol to feel better.
