Helping Hands

CASE HISTORY: "Mr. J. came in desperate about his wife's alcoholism. A friend had insisted that she join AA. She was disgusted and horrified and rebelled against the very thought. . . After Mr. J. had gained some knowledge of the true facts concerning alcoholism he was able to change his attitude to compassion and a deeper understanding of his wife's problem. She was hostile to AA treatment but the Information Center put her in touch with a sympathetic and understanding doctor, who assisted her with medication to get her physical system toned up, and in cooperation with her husband, the Center and the doctor, she consented to see a member of AA. She has never looked back."
