600 People In Newton County
Have Alcoholic Problems
Compiled and Written by
The Rev. Tom White
The Rev. George Home
The problem of alcoholism is
one of Newton County’s major
health problems. If state fig
ures have any value there are
at the least 600 persons in the
county with some real alcoholic
problem. One of the reasons that
so few people seek help for this
problem is the lack of knowledge
about the matter both as far as
the individual is concerned and
the general public. To enable
people to seek help, to enable
families who have this problem
in the home to seek help and to
enable the general public to be
more helpful—this is the first in
a series of articles designed to
increase knowledge about alco
holism.
The material for these articles
will be gathered from numerous
sources and where possible the
credit for the sources will be
given. This first in the series
of articles is a summary of mat
erial taken from the Fairfield
Connecticut County Council on
Alcoholism, a county no different
from ours, who decided to help
Instead of condemn, to help in
stead of ignore.
One of the problems connected
with the alcoholic is how to help
when he or she insists that help
is not needed. Part of the prob
lem is that the alcoholic usually
believes there is nothing so wrong
with his drinking that he can’t
somehow handle it himself. Quite
often those closest to the alco
holic—his or her family, friends

OF THE PROFESSIONAL RETREADER
THE COVINGTON NEWS
and working associates, are in
clined to go along with the per
son, and say “where is your will
power” “why don’t you stop”—
as if he could. This attitude is
in part due to the great American
picture of man, that man is self
made, that a man should have the
“guts” to pull himself up by
his own bootstraps, that a man
should be able to save and heal
himself. Can the physician save
himself?
The second part of the problem
is that many of us persist in the
notion that an alcoholic is one
of society’s uglier specimens, a
no good, an unlovable, worthless
person, beyond either hope or
help. Few of us want to admit
that we are married to, are
neighbors of, or work with one of
THEM. And so we hide Them
as we would dirt under the rug.
So the alcoholic is in two binds.
First the feeling that he ought
to be able to save himself: to
admit otherwise would be admit
ting weakness and secondly to
admit to a problem would be ac
cepting, as he or she sees it—
a stigma, or agreeing with the
general public that he is no
good. This he can’t do either.
Thus getting the alcoholic to
become willing to involve himself
in treatment or seeking help is
a most crucial step in recovery.
But this takes changed under
standing, both on the part of the

alcoholic, his family, and the
general public, as to what is the
nature of alcoholism.
So what is alcoholism? And
what is an alcoholic? Alcohol
ism is an illness: medical and
psychiatric opinion, based on re
search and clinical experience,
agrees that alcoholism is a chr
onic and progressive illness, dis
ease, or disability with both phy
sical and psychological aspects.
It is characterized by the vic
tim’s unusual drinking behaviour
and his or her apparent inability
to control his or her drinking.
The physical aspect is a form
of addiction, including some
times violent withdrawal prob
lems such as the shakes, with a
compulsion or uncontrolable de
sire to continue drinking, trig
gered by a certain amount of
alcohol in the body.
The psychological aspect or
phase is an obsession, —he can’t
get it out of his mind—even when
dry—even when he knows what it
will do or not do—and includes
a sort of thinking that enables
the alcoholic to lay all his trou
bles to causes other than his
drinking or himself.
Neither the causes of the ill
ness, nor the changes it brings
about in the body are yet com
pletely understood. That means
it cannot be prevented—nor can
it be cured in the sense that
an alcoholic can never expect to
return to a pattern of "normal”
drinking.
An alcoholic: A couple of de
finitions: An alcoholic is one
who hurts—is sick physically or
emotionally and uses alcohol as a
solution or relief for the hurt.
An alcoholic is someone whose
drinking causes continuing prob-
lems in any department of his
life— 4n his family relationships,
his financial affairs, his ability
to work effectively or to get along
with people.
The key word here is contin
uing. Most rational people react
to a pattern of problems by cut
ting down on whatever causes
them. So it is exactly the alco
holics apparent inability to cut
down on his drinking—in spite of
the trouble that it causes—that
distinguishes him from other dr
inkers. Next time we shall pre
sent the stages of alcoholism and
in subsequent articles shall talk
about how to help the alcoholic
—examine the family role and the
public’s role.

THE ANNUAL
DISAPPEARING ACT
Despite the way it may seem,
fish really don't disappear dur
ing winter.
They’re still in the same
water they inhabited last fall,
but are less concerned about
food. If they don’t turn up too
often, the blame is not entirely
on the fish; anglers don’t turn
up too often these days either.
However, game fish are pres
ent, feeding on a limited scale,
and they can be caught, say
the fishing authorities at Mer
cury outboards. Particularly,
they add, by fishermen with
the necessary fortitude and
knowledge of cold weather
aquatic conditions to get the
job done.
In deep bodies of water
which have a heavy coating of
ice, the warmest temperatures
will be found near the bottom.
This is because water is most
heavy (dense) at 39.2 degrees.
For some fish, notably lake
trout, this is only a shade be
low what they prefer. Other
species will forage upward into
the colder levels, but usually
can be found hugging the
bottom.
In mid-continent and south
’ ern regions where shoreline
skim ice forms only occasional
ly, temperature levels are not
so marked. In such waters, the
key spots are tributaries that
introduce a high supply of
fresh oxygen. Other locations
that attract a congregation of
fish are underwater springs
that form local “hot” spots.
