She had her first whiskey sour at 16; a year later, she was mixing liquor with uppers and downers. She dropped out of school, decided to hitchhike from her home in Atlanta to San Francisco and start a whole new life. She drank and drugged as she thumbed her way West. In Kansas, she was raped and beaten and left for dead on the highway. At the hospital, she was detoxified and in- troduced to Alcoholics An- onymous. © John is 61 years old. He graduated cum laude from Yale in 1950 and started up the career ladder at IBM. From the start, he liked his two martinis at lunch, cock- tails before dinner and + brandy after, but he knew how to handle his liquor. He married and produced three children, belonged to the tight clubs, and was on a first-name basis with the Fight people. Then his drinking got out ‘of hand; he had the shakes, the sweats, wound up in one drying-out place after an- other. His wife insisted that he see their minister, who referred him to a psychi- atrist. But John kept on drinking. Says jogging will not prevent heart disease It may come as a shock to joggers, but that and other forms of exercise will not prevent heart disease. Internationally known’ heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, 72, says reasonable exercise is healthy, “but it's not going to prevent’ you fromhaving a heart attack.” “I don't have any strong objection to jogging for peo- ple who are relatively young, say, under 30," he told a . group of businessmen in Houston, Tex. “I do have objections to joggers who get out in the middle of the street, especially dusk or dawn, when I've nearly run into them. I think that’s dangerous.” In time, he lost his job, the mortgage was foreclosed on the house, his wife left him, the children would have no part of him. Those endless nights, his bedroom was a bowery. That’s when he found A.A. Just how far down the path of alcoholism do you have to go in order to qualify for membership in A.A.? As these two true stories show, not far... or else very far; hitting “bottom” is an indi- vidual thing. Inga drank for seven years, John, for about 30.

Today, however, the portrait of membership has changed. Newer members come in speaking of days lost from work rather than of lost jobs. Most of them still have families intact; have never seen the inside of a jail or lived in a fourth-rate hotel or slept in a hallway on skid row. They may not have had blackouts or taken the morn- ing drink. They may not have had the shakes and the sweats in the long, lonely nights. But they know they have a problem with alcohol, In large measure, these al- coholies owe their early re- covery in A.A, to the fact that the disease of alcoholism has been recognized, at all levels, as a national health problem. According to a recent A.A, survey of its membership, 41 per cent credit another A.A. member for introducing them tothe Fellowship; 38 per cent came “on my own"; 24 per cent through counseling and therapy; 21 per cent because of a family member; and 10 per cent through their family doctor, Contracting ~-Power Wiring— — Electric Heat-- —Fire Alarms— — Intrusion Alarms— & Other Special Systems HOOLAEFF ELECTRIC Phone 365-7191 Now booking for Spring Installations Trouble-free and © decorative vinyl sundeck coverin: © colored aluminum tailing * continuous colored aluminum gutters ® vinyl decorative shuiters FOR ESTIMATES CALL Castle Vinyldeck 365-7086 us for: Ornamental vi + Fulltond- scaping Service ° Complete nursery stock - © Cut flowers pesidential ™yreoettimates- NG'S wean ‘& FLORIST LTO. 2601 - 9th Ave., 731 & Chahko MikaMall Nelson 352-2914 Caldsct Groceteria & Laundromat 1038 Columbia Avenue (Bottom of Sherbiko Hill) 364 Days a Year!
