highways and from cirrhosis of the

der, and freezing to death.
Since winter is close, freezing or
death due to exposure could be the
next death attributed to alcohol.
Alcohol lowers the body temp
erature. It does not warm you up at
the football game. It makes you
colder. Alcohol causes the skin
blood vessels to constrict and
lowers the body temperature.
Exposure to cold can cause death
in temperatures above freezing.
The body loses heat and the normal
body function cannot continue for
long when hypothermia (loss of
body heat) persists.
If you drink while hunting this
winter, make sure you do not hunt
alone. Do not go to sleep. If you
drink alcohol to excess, make sure
you are drinking in a warm place -
not under a bridge or in the swamp
or unheated house.
Be a knowledgeable drinker.
Alcohol is a drug, perhaps the most
dangerous drug available to people
today.
If you see someone passed out
this winter, please give assistance.
Do not let the alcoholic die alone.
He is sick, not a drunk. Remember
the "good Samaritan"; do not
judge the excess drinker as a
drunk, no good, weak bum. He is a
creation of God. just as you.
Most of the alcoholics in Hoke
County work, have families, and
are considered good citizens. We
see these people every day and talk
about how sad it is that they drink
so much. Yet we look at those two
to three passed out on the road or
stumbling down the street with no
coat, in the rain, and become filled
with disgust instead of pity.
The alcoholic does not need pity
or disgust. He needs help. Help is
available at Sandhills Center, AA,
and treatment ' centers such as
Hebron Colony.
If you are concerned about your
drinking or a friend's or family
member's, come to Sandhills Cen
ter and talk with Dennis Brewster;
go to A A on a third Wednesday at 8
p.m. at the Open Arms Rest Home;
or contact the Hebron group.
Prevent other deaths caused by
alcoholism. Do something now.
Don't die because of the "fruit of
the wine." Replace that fruit with
the fruit of the spirit of soberity.
Start being happy again. Experi
ence living instead of death.
Take time to care about yourself.
Stop for a few minutes and ask
yourself some serious questions
about your drinking or your loved
ones drinking:
Does drinking interfere with
normal activities?
Do you plan drinking and avoid
things that drinking is not a part
of?
Do you drink alone?
Do you drink more than you did
a year ago?
Do you ever have shakes after
drinking?
Do you ever not remember what
you have done while drinking?
Do you feel guilty about your
drinking?
Has anyone ever told you. you
drink too much?
If you are answering "yes" to
these questions, talk with someone
about your drinking. Don't find
yourself jobless, homeless, feeling
hopeless, trapped in a bottle before
seeking help. Contact AA, Hebron,
or Sandhills Center.
Help is available.
We care and can help.
