While doing Recovery Elevator, I’ve spoken at schools several times. There’s an exercise I’ve done in smaller settings where I write the word “alcoholic” on a whiteboard and ask students to give me the first words that come to mind. I’ve also done this exercise with adults, and the results are the same. In fact, let’s try this together. I will say the A word, alcoholic, and let’s see what descriptors, images, or thoughts come to mind.
I’m guessing we have something like this.
Living under a bridge
Brown paper bag
Homeless
Hopeless
Unemployed - and we’re gonna stop right there because, as we’ll find, this is incorrect.
Well to be fair, some of this is accurate. There are alcoholics - unfortunately- living under bridges at this very moment. But studies show only 5% - of alcoholics fit this description, aka drinking from a brown paper bag while living under a bridge. The stigma is wrong. In fact, it’s way wrong.
