Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: My husband is 66. He drinks no less than eight to 10 beers every day, plus four or five shots of whiskey. He insists that he is not an alcoholic. I think he is. What do you think? NO NAME, PLEASE DEAR NO NAME: I can best answer your question by repeating the following letter: DEAR ABBY: You probably won’t remember me, but I am a fairly successful, middle-aged family man who wrote to you about a year ago telling you I thought I had a problem with alcohol. I was drunk when I wrote that letter and couldn’t remember mailing it, but I must have, because I received an answer from you! You sent a list of 12 questions to be answered yes or no, and told me if there were four or more “yesses” I was in deep trouble. You also urged me to go to just one Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. To make a long story short, I went, feeling slightly embarrassed, but my embarrassment soon turned to courage when I found doctors, lawyers, musicians, schoolteachers, bellhops, policemen and construction workers there. I was relieved to learn that I was not alone that others suffered from the same feelings of fear, inadequacy and guilt that I felt. On this, my first anniversary of sobriety, I just had to say thank you for sending me to A.A. You saved mv life. RAY DEAR RAY: No thanks due me. I merely pointed to the road. You took it. To celebrate your sobriety, I am printing the 12 questions so that others who wonder if they have a drinking problem can test themselves. The test was written by those who know firsthand what alcoholism is all about members of Alcoholics Anonymous. 1. Have you ever decided to stop drinking for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days? Yes ( ); No ( ).
