1.11th Step (by R. A. S.)
Arizona -- WHEN I WAS SMALL, my parents sent me to several different Sunday schools, but I don't think they ever went to church themselves. My aunts and uncles were members of different sects, and when they came to visit, they took me with them to their churches. My parents made no objection, and, in fact, I believe they thought it would be good for me. As it turned out, it wasn't.

2.A Taste of Happiness (by J. J.)
Florida -- TAKE A LITTLE GIRL full of fear, anxiety, and insecurity; mix these with a life of loneliness, heartache, and emptiness; and you have the makings of an alcoholic. I was this little girl, and I am an alcoholic. My name is Jackie, and I am no longer a little girl; I am a mature woman and an inmate at the Florida Correctional Institution for Women. This is a nice name for the women's state prison. I was convicted of forgery and auto theft. The sentence: five years.

4.About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment (by Los Angeles Examiner)
Dr. Dora B. Goldstein, a senior scientist in the pharmacology department [at Stanford University], devised a means of getting mice drunk on the fumes of alcohol. Mice had always seemed to be the best possible animal models for alcoholic tests, because they became alcoholic in two to four days, while more expensive animals might require two weeks. On the other hand, the mice eliminated alcohol from their systems so rapidly, many tests necessary to understanding addiction could not be made.

There is a close relationship between nutritional deficiencies and the use of alcohol. Dr. Roger J. Williams, University of Texas biochemist, has noted that although alcoholics tend to have a poor diet (often through neglect), the reverse situation also applies: Bad diet creates alcoholics.

7.About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment (by Richard Severo)
"Opium is less inimical to healthy life than alcohol," wrote Dr. J. R. Black in the Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic in 1889. He added that it "calms in place of exciting the baser passions, and hence is less productive of acts of violence and crime; in short, the use of morphine in place of alcohol is but a choice of evils, and by far the lesser."

Are men and women driven to drink by the same or different things? The question was raised by two scientists who had 30 female and 30 male alcoholics on hand for comparison. N. H. Rathod and I. G. Thomson studied patients in the alcohol ward of an English hospital.

10.About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment
A unique experiment aimed ultimately at improving and expanding treatment for alcoholics all over the country took place in April and May at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston. With a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health's Division of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the pilot program recruited and trained 10 nurses and 10 social workers. In most cases, they came from key positions--administration, supervision, research, teaching--in agencies which see people with alcohol-related problems. They were expected to take their new knowledge back to their work in family, child-welfare, and community mental-health agencies, hospitals, mental-health clinics attached to courts, social service within schools, schools of social work, and industrial nursing.
