There are several steps in its onset, development and treatment. They will be is considered occurrence in the order of their in the usual alcoholic. The Social Drinker Let us consider an insurance salesman, but he might as well be a laborer, a utilities executive, the local representative of a church or a professional man. He may have been used to having liquor in his home from childhood, or he may be of a temperate family or religion. The first step to alcoholism is his first drink of any alcoholic beverage. As he drinks more or less regularly he will discover that liquor is an anesthetic. In other words, liquor taken in small doses causes a certain freedom from worry; and, taken in big doses it causes sleep, just as certainly as any sleeping pill. At first he consumes one or two drinks in an evening with other people. Later, especially if ho is host, he may drink one drink with every one that he mixes for others. May we then call him an alcoholic ? Later he may mix drinks for others and take "straight" mouth-fnl- s of the liquor from the bottle. If he has had a difficult day at his work, he may drink more than usual. May we now call him an alcoholic ? His wife may have suffered frustration, worry or fear during her day. Let us say that she drove them away by purchasing a new hat or seeing a new movie. However, although he may not lite the taste of alcohol (most alcoholics do not), he has discovered its anesthetic effect and will resort to it in time of any stress. He may come home from the office and drink himself to sleep before or after dinner simply to "drive away the cares of the day." May we now call him an alcoholic or must we wait until he hides himself in a rented room with a case of whiskey ? Must we wait until he hides a bottle of whiskey in his car, under his bed and in his office drawer opening his eyes in the morning to a long tiff drink, drinking all day long and hoping that no one recognizes it, and going to sleep under its influence at night? All of the above described persons are alcoholics. All are in need of help. Treatment of the Alcoholic A big step has been made in the treatment of the alcoholic when he has been identified as an alcoholic by his family. A bigger step, however, has been made in his treatment when the alcoholic himself recognizes his true identity. All too often the alcoholic will believe that everyone is completely fooled. No one but his wife will know, and he may even believe that he can fool her. "I'm not drinking too much. My system needs what little I drink. It relaxes me." "You see. Pal, I'm not an alco holic. My only problem seems to be that I can't stop drinking." I work nara enough. 1 deserve a little nip at night and maybe the started. in just to get me hair of the tail of morning A the dog that bit me, heh heh!" The various individuals quoted above never seek help until they realize their plight. They are sure they are fooling their friends. Discerning friends will know that they are fooling themselves. I would suggest that the person who recognizes an alcoholic in his family or in an acquaintance talk with his family doctor, his priest or minister, and with members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Each problem is different and each solution varies from another. Some alcoholics have returned to a productive life when presented with a picture of their present debauched state by their wives; some have returned through the work of Alcoholics Anonymous; some through the work of their some through the tongue firiest; of friends, while others have finally seen themselves as and renounced alcohol. are they Usually the latter person must go all the way to the gutter after loss of money, family, friends and job before he will stop drinking. Thus we may conclude that: 1. The alcoholics of tomorrow may be ourselves or anyone we know 2. today. We all know of people who are in any of drinking the above stages yet who describe themselves as "social drinkers." They are actually alcoholics, and their problem should be recognized and dealt with as such. 3. Alcoholism is not a disease, nor is alcohol a substance essential to some human bodies. Therefore it cannot be "caught" from another person or inherited. 4. On the contrary, alcoholism is simply a "way out," a road to temporary oblivion, a means of getting away from one's daily problems and frustrations. For example, the wife of an alcoholic could "boil over", throw dishes and break up the furniture. She does not indulge in her desires for it would cost money. The alcoholic. however, will drink himself into oblivion at the slightest provocation regardless of the cost. The first step to alcoholism is a drink. The first step to treatment is self recognition. 5. The collaboration of family, Alcoholics Anonymous, doctor, priest, andor friends is necessary to gain the alcoholic's cooperation in his return to sobriety.
