Alcohol Misuse Among the ElderlyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
An Opportunity for Prevention Abstract: Current US census estimates predict that by the year 2020, 18% of the population will be 65 years or older. As most adults in this age group have health care needs, it is vital that clinicians are competent in identifying and intervening in the most common health issues among older adults. The article in this issue by Blazer and Wu again reminds us that alcohol use, including binge drinking, is common among older adults and that despite popular culture, alcohol misuse does not disappear as one ages. As noted in the article, the findings are very consistent with other epidemiological ...

15 Year old Alcoholic in AAEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
My Name is Diane and I’m a 15 year old Alcoholic in AA When I first came to Alcoholics Anonymous I couldn’t have been an alcoholic. It was impossible at the age of 14! I had my first drink at the age of six. Being the only girl out of three and being the youngest child, I could get my way. I now believe I was an alcoholic from the first drink, because from then on I set up my life in the alcoholic pattern. I lived in fear of the day, in hatred, in resentments, in a dream world. I would dream I had six closets full of clothes and all the girls were jealous of me. In real life, I was fat, overbearing, and jealous...

Our description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after make clear three pertinent ideas: a) that we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives; b) that probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism; c) that God could and would if He were sought.

Is alcoholism a disease?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Yes, alcoholism is a disease. The craving that an alcoholic feels for alcohol can be as strong as the need for food or water. An alcoholic will continue to drink despite serious family, health, or legal problems. Like many other diseases, alcoholism is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person’s lifetime; it usually follows a predictable course; and it has symptoms. The risk for developing alcoholism is influenced both by a person’s genes and by his or her lifestyle. The only treatment for alcoholism is complete abstinence which a lot of alcoholics find hard to do. Sobriety can start at the entrance to an Alcoholics...

Mr. A. wanted to show his primary care physician that he was no longer drinking (a routine the physician and patient had been through many times in the past) by suggesting he could come into the clinic every other day so the doctor could smell his breath. But Dr. Benjamin had another idea: “Mr. A, I like the idea of your comin...
