First step in recovery
is most difficult one
BY KIM RENFRO
The first step on the road to
recovering from drug or alcohol
addiction is admitting a problem
exists. Often times, that’s the har-
dest part.
CareUnit Hospital of Fort
Worth knows this to be true—
counselors see it every day. Rep-
resentatives of the drug and
alcohol recovery center presen-
ted the third and final segment of
seminars on drug abuse held at
First Christian Church.
Steve Anderson told the group
he is a recovering alcoholic.
"One of the things that really got
to me when I went to recovery
was that I had a problem with
alcohol,” he said. "Denial is a
very big part of alcohol and
drug use.”
An alcoholic for over 30 years,
Anderson said he climbed the
ladder of success despite his
abuse of alcohol. He had
material items, but, in his words,
"1 tore up lives all around me—
my wife, children, parents, em-
ployers, and friends. In reality,
the family gets sicker than the
alcoholic." ,
CareUnit Reaches that an
alcoholic's family may progress
in the disease in this manner:
—Arguments,
— Distrust.
— Religious needs.
— Denial.
—Threats made and not car-
ried through.
—USE OF prescribed drugs.
— Loss of self respect.
— Social withdrawal.
— Drug abuse.
— Indefinable fears.
— Bankruptcy of,^alibis.
— Admitting defeat.
— Chronic depression.
—And finally, suicide attempts.
At the same time, the alcoholic
is progressing from:
—Occassional relief drinking.
— Constant relief drinking.
— Increased tolerance.
—Onset of memory blackouts.
— Urgency of first drinks.
— Feelings of guilt.
— Increasing dependency.
— Unable to discuss problem
— Efforts to control fail.
— Decrease of ability to stop
drinking.
—Tries geographical escapes.
— Persistent remorse.
— Promises fail.
— Family and friends avoided.
— Loss of other interests.
—Work and money troubles.
— Decrease in alcohol toler-
ance.
— Unreasonable resentments.
— Onset of lengthy intoxica-
tions.
— Neglect of food.
— Physical and moral deterior-
ation.
— Impaired thinking.
— Drinking with inferiors.
— Indefinable tears
— Unable to initiate action
—Obsession
-VAGUE SPIRITUAL desires
—All alibis exhausted.
—And finally, complete defeat
admitted
With help, both the family and
the alcoholic can begin the long
climb from the bottom to reach
an enlightened future. The pro-
cess for family members begins
with awareness and continues
with hope, a sincere desire tor
help, recognition of the disease,
acceptance, seeking help lessen-
ing of the need to control, hon-
esty, willingness to change, trust,
cover-up ceases, relaxation, op-
timism, spiritual examination,
daily living pattern changes, new
friends, diminishing tears, return
of self-esteem, love, courage, at
ease with life, and joy
Progression tor the recovering
alcoholic includes similar steps
such as an honest desire for
help, learning alcoholism is an il-
lness, stops taking alcohol, meets
normal and happy former ad-
dicts, takes stock in self, right
thinking begins, spiritual needs
examined, physical overhaul bv
doctor, onset of new hope, start
of group therapy, realistic think-
ing, return of self-esteem, facts
faced with courage, rebirth of
ideals, care of personal ap-
pearance, contentment in sob-
riety, and rationalizations recog-
nized.
ANDERSON ADDED THAT
the road to recovery is a tough
one and, "Anything that's done
must be done within the
framework of love It s hard to
look through the disease and see
a good person inside "
He noted that children raised
in an alcoholic family have a 50-
50 chance of becoming or marry-
ing an alcoholic and that the
progression of alcohol may also
be the same with drug abusers
Help is available to anyone
with a drug or alcohol problem
at a number of treatment centers
such as CareUnit. Anderson said
he first went to a center to get Ins
employer and family off his back
Now he thanks them for being
there.

his arguments about 2:30 p.m.. at
which time the jury panel began
their deliberations. Two charges
from the court (one for each of
the defendants) had been read
aloud by Crosier at the beginning
of the day. The documents con-
tained information and instrue-
tions for the jury regarding the
six possible verdicts which could
be considered by the jury
panel.
In addition to the most serious
charge, containing the "inten-
tionally” and "knowingly” phrase-
ology, other possibilities of the
juty's findings included: "rec-
klessly engaging in conduct caus-
ing serious bodily injure to a
child;" "engaging in conduct
with criminal negligence causing
serious bodily injury to a child;"
intentionally or knowingly engag-
ing in conduct causing bodily in-
jury to a child (the term serious'
deleted); "recklessly engaging in
conduct causing bodily injury to
a child;" and a verdict of "not
guiltv."
" CROSIER GAVE OTHER in-
structions to the jury after read-
ing the charges, including infor-
mation that a grand jury indict-
Airport groundbreaking

Groundbreaking ceremonies
for the new South Fort Worth Air-
port will be conducted at 2
p.m Thursday.
The ceremony will mark the
start of construction on the air-
port, located at Interstate 35 and
the Tarrant/Johnson County line.
The actual ceremony site is next
to the Tarrant County Precinct
Garage, located on Farm-to-
Market Road 1187, just north
of Burleson.
Fort Worth has been planning
and acquiring property for the
airport for the last five years.
It will include 800 acres and
will serve as Fort Worth's second
general aviation airport It will be
an uncontrolled airport with a
6,000 foot runway. The city will
lease land on which it anticipates
private individuals will construct
aviation support facilities.
The airport construction is
being financed primarily with
federal funds, including funds
received from the sale of the old
Greater Southwest Airport. The
Federal Aviation Administration
agreed to allow Fort Worth to use
its share of GSIA sale proceeds
on the new South Fort Worth
Airport.
Construction will be completed
January 1988.
