I was told by several responsible people Here and even my husband who is also a recovered alcoholic and now very Well Able to hold a responsible position again that All known alcoholics Are still treated like moral lepers and the army attitude is simply to ship them Back Home fast or away from any place where their moral weak Ness might be a bad reflection on the prestige of the . Armed also that alcoholics Anonymous meetings such As behave at Home to help us learn How to stay sober with group therapy and education cannot be permitted publicly in any foreign country which is in such a strategic position As Berlin be cause it could be an admission of weakness to our non allies and therefore dangerous prop yet How much More dangerous it can be for alcoholics who Are not aware of the True nature of their problem but have so far been Able to cover up enough to hold their important official Job sin the army and around it As civilians i have seen several such people in just the few months i be been Here As Well As other valuable workers when sober who were just shipped Back Home and discharged in Dis Grace to save the reputation of the =. In Berlin after Only a couple vol preliminary warnings to Stop drinking too yet the american medical association Lias publicly recognized alcoholism to be an uncontrollable and incurable disease As Long As any alcohol is used by the per son who has become allergic tit very similar to diabetes and its allergy to sugar intake and Anonymous therefore no More of a moral delinquency than any other ill Ness. It is also now Well known that alcoholism can be arrested sometimes with medical help necessary to begin the sobriety and then with mental therapy such As alcoholics Anonymous to help them learn How to keep sober. Therefore it seems to me that if the army right Here in Ber Lin would publicly recognize alcoholism for the disease it is As advocated by the american medical association giving medi Cal Aid whenever needed before the necessity of shipping the sick person out to help get the alcoholic Back on the Road to sobriety and authorizing alcoholics Anonymous meetings which Are self supporting in order to provide the necessary mental therapy Back to a worthwhile and Happy sober life this could very Well rehabilitate Many Valu Able and Good men and women for More and better work a and around the army and inadvertently would also add to the strength and sanity of the .a.
