Barbara Walker, B.Sc., R.N., M.Ed., has, for over three years, been a counsellor with the Bellwood residential addiction centre, and bas much to offer on this mind-boggling subject. There is such an enormnous amount involved in the recovery of anyone wbo suffers from an addiction. Often, by the trne fthe person seeks help, he or she bas alienate friends, family and co-workers, and bas te cope witb soul-wrcncbing guilt for actions taken, in addition to tbe very difficult job of 'getting off tbe stuff. Once the addict bas 'lost enougb' and treatment is requested (altbough usually the prime mover is someone otber wbo requests the intervention) then there are a number of measures tbat can be taken. Bioenergetics, a means of encouraging bealthy feeling states, is an enormous help for tbe person*who may bave spent years copmng with bis or ber feelings by blunting them n isensate. Feelings, and bowte deal with themn cannot be overempbasized bere; it's an absolutely critical learning process if one is to' recover, and the retrieval can bc very difficuit. The, body does bave its own wisdom, fortunately, and muscle-stressing-breathing exercises (bioenergetics) cari play a large part in freeing up stored information; (information which bas been 1literally buried in the muscles, by the unable-to-cope in person.

The cards with which the Hxyuse of Commons has been built are precariously stacked by the politics of division.

As the addict learns te manage bis life in more bealthful ways, spirituality and an understanding of one's own bigher selfbecomes an important concept. The addict, whose past bebaviour often contributed te bis or ber own 'aloneness' must learn te seek out other people, to share witb, te, learn from, and te belp in the process of healing.
