When you Conk UBCTXIChUV
Alcoholics Can Be
Made Well By Using
AA Methods
Fourteen years ago a
.•ountry doctor, whose career
was being wrecked through
heavy drinking, found a way
«ut of his “Lost Weekend"
through the help of a New
York broker, a fellow suffer-
er who had cured himself
hrough service to others
That meeting resulted in the
■'ormation of the national or-
ganization we know today as
Alcoholics Anonymous.
In this fourteen year per-
iod AA has done what the
"Chicago Sun-Times", in a
rt cent editorial, calls "one
>f the most remarkable jobs
if our generation." It points
■ut that the rehabilitation of
problem drinkers by AA
members, each of whom ar >
>n call night or day to go to
he aid of a victim, is of m-
'stimable value. Each victim
aved means a family also
laved. Each AA means less
work for doctors, hospitals,
welfare agencies and ever,
less police trouble, said th,
Sun Times.
"Moreover, the movement
tas been one of the greatest
ingle factors in teaching all
•f us that the evil of drink i-
ot in the bottle. It is in the
maladjusted individual who
urns to the bottle to escape
from real or imagined frus-
ratiens.
"A lot of us used to think
hat if the bottle were re-
moved. the evil would disap-
pear. That's why we tried
National Prohibition. Pain
fully, sometimes bloodily,
that magnified our mistake
up to :i size where ell hut the
most fanatic 'dry' could see
it.
"Alcoholics Anonymous is
going to the causes of habit-
ual drunkenness* instead of
trying a futile half-nelson on
the effects. That's why A A
is with us today while 1'tohi-
bition isn't.”
Even though my stay in Tex-
as will he brief at this time, I
hope to visit around the Dis-
trict as much as possible. 1
will remain in Texas until the
House of Representatives re-
sumes its regular sessions and
legislative activities and dut-
ies require me to return to
