Extractions: On the Rocks: Cynthia's Alcoholism Information A shark attacks its prey very slowly. It allows them to have a false sense of security; Circling and circling around them coming closer and closer until when they least expect it >>WHAM! Alcoholism is like a great white shark. Deceiving it's victims into thinking they aren't in danger. It waits very patiently to attack swimming at the bottom of the murky glass. Each year, over 10 thousand individuals under the age of 24 are killed in alcohol related accidents, making it one of the leading causes of death for this age group! Most experts agree that there are about 20 million alcoholics in the United States. The costs imposed by these addicted Americans both emotionally and financially are incalculable. Alcoholism is a chronic primarily hereditary disease, that progresses from early physiological susceptibility, into addiction and loss of control! Contrary to popular belief, Alcoholism is based on physiological addiction and NOT psychological dependence. The alcoholic's enzymes, hormones, genes and brain chemistry work together to create their abnormal and unfortunate reaction to alcohol.

Extractions: Stepping Stone is a residence for working women in their early stages of recovery from alcohol abuse. Founded in 1962, its primary purpose is to assist and support working women to help themselves in sobriety. It fosters an environment in which they learn to live successfully in community with others. Because the alcoholic woman often suffers from isolation, the importance of group support with its elements and friendship, is well understood by the staff. Residents are supported by the Foundation who pays for 50% of their board and room through fund raising events, interest from a small endowment and a recent grant from World Savings Community Outreach and Affordable Housing Department. Though not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous, Stepping Stone's philosophy is based on the principles and twelve steps of AA.
