EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaagh Social drinking has become such a hazard in the United States that it is being given sci entific study. Some of the results are reported in a special series of press releases by Harry Fer guson, “Drinking in America.” Among the findings are these: (1) Most people don’t like the taste of things they drink at cocktail parties, but they do like the effect. They drink to loosen their inhibitions enough to have a good time. (2) There are about 5 million alcoholics in the United States. Only three per cent of them are found lying in the gut ters of big cities. (3) Alcoholism is found in all categories of so ciety. You may be unaware of it, but there can be two or three persons living on your block who are fighting a silent, desperate battle against alcohol. (4) Wom en are less inclined to become alcoholics than men, but their number is increasing. (5) It takes an average of eight and one-half years for a drinker to step up his consumption to a point where he can be medically classified as an alcoholic. (6) Two of the most outstanding agencies in fighting alcoholism are Alcoholics Anonymous and Alcoholic Rehabilitation Centers. The National Council on Alco holism says there are 13 steps Mrs. Henderson Laurens—Mir*. Mattie Little Henderson, 80, former resident of Greenwood and widow of John Robert frenderson, died at down the ladder to trouble: (1) The social drink (many stop here.) (2) The black-out. (3) You drink more than your friends. (4) You continue to drink more than you mean to. (5) You begin inventing excuses for drinking (8) You start taking eye-open ers before breakfast. (7) You be gin to drink alone. (8) You be come anti-social when you drink. (9) You start giong on “bend ers.” (10) Ypu are tortured by remorse in your sober moments. (11) You develop anxiety over your ability to obtain liquor and begin hiding it. (12) You finally realize you are an alcoholic. (13) You decide whether to fight it or succumb. At this point you seek help, or give up and drink your self to death. While social drinking has be come so general that the rate of alcoholism is rapidly increas ing, there is also more help available in preventing it and overcoming it. In the days before prohibition the alcoholic was simply called a drunk, and he was marked off the social and economic list. Today alcoholism is considered a social and spiri -tual disease, and is treated as such. While the advertising of beverage alcohol has increased tremendously, at the same time warnings of the dangers are like wise advertised to the various agencies set up to combat alco holism. Hundreds of alcoholics are being reclaimed by Alcohol ics anonymous and the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Centers and spec ial hospitals devoted to the treat ment of alcoholism. If a man or woman becomes an alcoholic to day it is because he ignores the warnings. 3:00 a .m., Thursday, at the Lauren* hospital after a brief illness. » A native of Oglethorpe Coun ty, Ga., daughter of the late John William and Mary Arthur Little, she had lived almost her entire life in Greenwood County until moving to Laurens 17 years ago.
