Al-Anon/Alateen Family Groups

Hold Regular Meetings

Most people know that
problem drinkers have big
troubles, Fewer of us know that
alcoholics directly affect the
lives of at least four other
people, and that these friends,

les and co-workers are in
trouble too,

“Everything was going
wrong; there was never enough
money; the kids were ashamed
to bring home friends; I was
beginning to hope he wouldn't
come home at all," says one
wife to another at an Al-Anon
meeting.

“I know how you felt,” a
near-by male agrees, “When I
couldn't read a paper, never
mind pull a report together at
work because I torn

others in their group to deal

by the thoughts of the house
burning down or the kids
coming home from school to a
drunken mother, I figured it
was time toadmit I needed help
for myself."

Several people speak about
their Hey in attitude after
they the programs ‘of
“Al-Anon or Alsteen, There is an
air of understanding and
friendship. People use first
names and are asked by pis

chairman not to gossip
divulge what they hear ildo
the meeting room.

‘There is a noticeable tack
of tension. People who might
even admit to having been close
to a nervous breakdown are
relieved when they learn that
there is a place to ‘go if their
situation becomes intolerable.

Some members are re-
ferred by a doctor who is
treating the drinker; some
come after looking up the
number in a telephone book,
some are advised to go by a
member of AA, some come with
the impression that it would
guarantee sobriety.

Al-Anon/Alateen is a
world-wide fellowship of men,
women and teenagers who have
friends or family members with
a drinking problem. Members
of this unusual program meet

themselves with the aid of a
positive program of recovery.
They do this by living one day
at a time and sharing their
experience, strength and hope
with others in order to achieve
a serenity of spirit and an
enriched life.

“Iwas so filled with
and self-pity," even nated
people who didn’t seem to have
any problems. Now I've learned
everyone has problems and I
can handle mine one at a time if
I do first things first," says a
smiling teenage boy.

“I thought my kid was a
bum until I came here and
found out alcoholism was a
disease and he was sick,”
admits a father “who had
covered his son's bad cheques.
“Now I know he has to face the
responsibility for what he does
and that I can't beat him up to
get him sober either.”

“Right!” chimes in a young
woman. “I covered up too. I
can't tell you have many times I
called the boss and said my
husband was sick with a virus; 1
called because I was afraid he's
Jose his job and I have babies to
feed. Was I surprised when he
finally got sober because his
boss recommended that he join
the company alcoholism pro-
gram! And there I was with all

those phony excuses staring me
in the face!”

“I know what you mean,”
agrees an older man, “though
my cover-up was less not
able, I always smoothed out the
social blunders, the burned
dinners; I made the polite
geatures until we had less and
less company because there
were no excuses left. I stopped
séeing people I loved because I
was ashamed of my wife's
behavior. Now I plan my days
and ask my wife to join me, but
if she doesn't care to, then I go
ahead and do what makes me
happy without feeling guilty.”

juilt, that's what I drop-
ped Aaa at Alateen,” adds 5
teenage girl. “I thought I made
my parents drink because I was
a bad kid. I know now that I
didn't make anyone drink.
People drink because they want
to, not because they've got
problems.”

“Well, fear was my big
hang: -up,” volunteers an Al-

Anon member seated at a'table,’

* “I was afraid to breathe for fear”

of making my guy go back to
drinking after he'd worked so
hard to get sober. I had
problems with being afraid for
a long time and [ think my fears
were worse even after he
stopped drinking. I was ready
for that Serenity Prayer: ‘God
grant me the serenity to accept
the thirigs I cannot change; the
courage to change the things I
can, and the wisdom to know
the difference.’ “

Some members explain
that Al-Anon is not a religious
organization but that it is
spiritual. They try to live by a
program of 12 suggested steps
which they use as tools in their
own recovery from the disas-
ters of an unmanageable life of
their own.

“When I admitted that I
was powerless over alcohol and
that I couldn't pour away or
water down or find all the
hidden liquor in the world, I
had a change of direction,” says
one Al-Anon member.

“I don't use the word God,
myself,” explained another.
“but I do believe that there is
something out there with more
power than I've got and that’s
what I ask to help me.”

Tips for Safe |
Happy Skiing
° Parents who ski with their
children should pay close atten-

tion to their own. ski habits;
children.are born mimics. and

will learn from examples, *2- 1°

° When loading skis on. an
automobile rack, face the tips
toward the rear of the car to
prevent wind lifting both rack
and skis,

° Skiing-in heavy snow, a
condition common in the spring
and sometimes at other stages
in the season, puts more than
norraal stress on the legs of the
skier and makes him tire more
quickly. Keep in good physical
condition, and rest when feeling
tired or strained. ©

© The first person to come
across an injured skier should
atay with him and send the next
to approach for help even if it
means waiting. The injured
skier may become cold and
need whatever extra clothing
that can be spared,

© Always be ready to react to
unpred table movements — of
other skiers, especially begin-

ners.

“© Use facemasks to avoid frost-
bite when skiing in excessively

low temperatures.

° A skier entering a trail or
slope from a side of intersecting
trail should first’ check for

: approaching downhill skiers.
