TUTEN, sponsored and paid for by his many friends and Supporters. a public servant and the high es- Religiously Speaking THE ALCOHOLIC The individual for whom alco hol is the main answer to his problems, the most cherished source of pleasure and the surest means of dulling pain, is called an alcoholic. He is usual ly carrying the load of a deviate personality and has strong re sentments against an increasing ly hostile world. His drinking is an expression of lopsided growth; infantile traits in one part of his person ality coexist with mature traits in another. Alcohol allows him to reinterpret himself and his environment in a more satis factory light. The alcoholic is an impulsive person who faces great difficul ty in resisting his instinctual de sires. He is instable and has a limited capacity for enduring stress. To him the search for satisfaction represents supreme pleasure united with a feeling of security. He associates the childish de sires for physical warmth, pleas urable skin sensations, maternal coddling, liquid and warm filling of his stomach with longings for security, assurance, self-respect, independence, omnipotence and total oblivion. Alcohol is his an swer when he discovers it. The satisfaction, however, is only temporary and only magnifies the alcoholic’s infantile longings, ren dering attempts at their satisfac tion increasingly unsuccessful. Thus, the life of the alcoholic is governed by a vicious circle; real failures satisfied by illusory al coholic successes. If this circle is not broken it leads to the ir reversible calmness of death. These infantile traits spoken of are common to all human beings in varying degrees. What char acterizes the alcoholic is their pe culiar grouping, their intensity, and the fact that alcohol satis fies these strivings in a unitary way. To him nothing else can do this. The alcoholic is a mixture be tween infantile traits and mature traits. This makes for an un happy situation. It is as it were By Rev. Howard D. Blalock, Pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear a lion and a lamb trying to sleep together. So to hurt and to be hurt, to be secure and to be in danger, to be great and to be meek, to be generous and to be stingy, to reject and to be re jected, to be masculine and to be feminine, to be a child and to be an adult—all these and other pairs of opposites, unreconciled when he is sober, are unified when the alcoholic is intoxicated. In the intoxicated state he finds security and unadulterated pleas ure. Under the influence he can disregard the reality of the world he lives in, with all its pain and unhappiness, and hold to the “reality” which he finds when under the influence. In doing this he detours through an alco hol-induced mental disorder, a psychosis. This is why alcohol ism is sometimes called a dis ease. The alcoholic’s inability to stop drinking is because addiction it self is a striving for the unity for which he longs. Being an al coholic is the only answer he knows to the civil war which is raging inside of him. To the al coholic the disadvantages of drinking do not tip the scales as they do for • another drinker. Drinking to him is an advantage instead of- a disadvantage. When the alcoholic drinks, the alcoholic quickly reaches the brain. The first parts of the brain to be affected are those that made for what we know as adult mental life, the thing that is making the alcoholic so unhap py. The sedative action of al cohol, it is close to anesthetics, spreads downward to the lower nervous centers, the place where the animal impulses are, and en ables the alcoholic to interpret himself and his world, although the interpretation is false, with a more appealing sensation than when he is sober. The alcohol takes away the desirable con trols and permits the animal im pulses to come out. More is unknown than is known about the alcoholic. What is known creates a more sympa- He is a Mason, Shriner, and a member of The Way cross Shrine Club. He is a Member of both the American Legion and V. F. W.
