"don't you tell me how I feel"
|
|
(NiN)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eight months ago, a man hung himself to death in his own apartment. He
|
|
had used his favorite leather-tie to end his own life that cold winter
|
|
morning. His choice of suicide was classic - death by asphyxia, he was
|
|
found dead in the bathroom. However, he was not found dead at once. It
|
|
took several weeks before the police drilled his door open and entered,
|
|
followed by a dozen of his friends and relatives. They practically bursted
|
|
into the flat, despise the police men who desperately tried to keep them
|
|
away from the stiff corpse.
|
|
The scene was chaotic. People screamed, cried and acted like maniacs in
|
|
the small bathroom of the dead bachelor. Obviously, the man had been very
|
|
depressed the last months before his tragic death so friends and relatives
|
|
claimed that they were not at all surprised. He had severe alcohol
|
|
problems, they said. We knew he was capable of doing this, they continued.
|
|
He was fired from work two days before his death, someone said. We did
|
|
everything we could to prevent him from doing this! a woman yelled before
|
|
she was led away by her husband.
|
|
It was all true. The man had been depressed, he had been fired from his
|
|
work. But there was no sign of alcohol problems in the flat. It was nice
|
|
and tidy, not dirty and covered with bottles as one might expect.
|
|
The dead man was twenty-five years old. His name was John Smith. Until
|
|
the day he was fired from work, he had been a successful mathematician at a
|
|
local computer company. The people at the company told me that they had no
|
|
clue about his drinking problems. However, the boss said, we did not
|
|
notice anything until his own mother called me up and sobbed something
|
|
about Mr Smith being a deep alcoholic. Because of company policy, I had no
|
|
other choice than suspending him until he had taken care of his problems.
|
|
He had not been fired, the boss emphasized.
|
|
His mother confirmed the fact. She had called the company her son
|
|
worked at and explained that he was in desperate need for help to get over
|
|
his alcohol problems. She had been aware of his problems for a long time
|
|
she said. She started to sob as she recalled an incident that occurred when
|
|
he was young. One late night, she explained, John had stumbled into the
|
|
house drunk, his belly filled to the limit with cheap beer from the
|
|
drugstore. He was only fourteen years old at the time. They had talked to
|
|
him and he showed remorse. But, she continued, it was probably only a fake
|
|
mask she saw of him at the time. She never saw him drunk again and
|
|
they never spoke about the embarrassing incident until he was twenty-four
|
|
and that friend of him called her up.
|
|
|
|
John Smith went to Gren University to study mathematics when he was
|
|
nineteen. The parents was naturally very satisfied of his mature choice of
|
|
education. He had to move very far away from his home town though,
|
|
something he often said was the best thing he had ever done. Like many
|
|
young men, John Smith early felt the urge of packing his bags and move west
|
|
to seek new frontiers. The university, he said, was only his first stop.
|
|
He would never return to his home town again. It was simply too sleepy
|
|
for him.
|
|
He lived at the campus of the university for four years. He soon made a
|
|
name around the place, and everyone knew about him. Especially, John Smith
|
|
was known of being the hardest drinker around. No one could ever beat him
|
|
when it came to alcohol. Rumors said he could gulp down ten beers in a row
|
|
without the slightest sign of nausea. He was the head party-lion of the
|
|
entire campus, and perhaps even of the whole city.
|
|
Despise this, Mr Smith made it all through his education with excellent
|
|
grades. He even claimed that he enjoyed drinking, that it was not so bad
|
|
at all. He enjoyed sitting in a pub with his friends, chatting, while
|
|
having a few beers in the evening. The only thing he found boring, he
|
|
said, was that too many of his friends seemed to have problems. Problems
|
|
with girls, their education and sometimes even their whole life. He did
|
|
everything he could to cheer them up. But some of them was too depressed
|
|
for salvation. He did not like to see his friends drop out of school and
|
|
turn into nobodies, just because they suffered from a temporary lack of
|
|
reason. But he could not do anything. He had to get on with his own life.
|
|
The last year in school, John lost many of his closest friends. They
|
|
moved away, left school and started new lives. Some of them turned into
|
|
real alcoholics because of their personal problems. When John tried to get
|
|
them out of their habit, they confronted him about his own drinking. The
|
|
only answer John had was that he enjoyed it, and had complete control,
|
|
while they seemed to just drink to forget. No one accepted the answer.
|
|
Many of them tried to get John to quit drinking, but he refused. He said
|
|
that he had no problems with alcohol. He claimed that his friends ought to
|
|
take care of their own problems instead of creating them for him.
|
|
Things got worse. Suddenly, John was not allowed to drink one single
|
|
beer at the local pub because of his friends. They constantly claimed that
|
|
it was the best for him. John did not mind at first, but after a while he
|
|
lost control. His friends only talked to him about what they saw as his
|
|
problems, but he refused to listen. When they brought up the subject the
|
|
first time, he simply said that he was not drinking anything and there was
|
|
no need to talk about it. They insisted that he should talk about his
|
|
problems, but he only said that he had not got any. You ought to take care
|
|
of your problems instead, he said and tried to remain calm.
|
|
His friends did not give up. They checked up on him all the time, making
|
|
sure that he was not swallowing a single drop. John turned aggressive. He
|
|
shouted that his friends were playing some sinister game with him. He kept
|
|
on saying that he had no problems. He kept on saying that it was his
|
|
friends that had severe problems with their lives and now they used him for
|
|
personal therapy. His friends notified A.A. and begged them to take on the
|
|
case of John Smith. They did everything they could, but it only made John
|
|
more angry.
|
|
You need help, a woman from A.A. said with a sweet voice.
|
|
I do not need help, John replied - clearly annoyed.
|
|
That is what all alcoholics replies, she said.
|
|
Listen, those who need help are my friends! John shouted at her.
|
|
That is what all alcoholics shout, she said.
|
|
Leave me alone! he cried and hung up.
|
|
That is what all alcoholics do, she explained to John's friends.
|
|
|
|
After he had left school, he moved to City of Glass on the east coast and
|
|
began working as a mathematician at a local computer company. When a friend
|
|
of him came to visit (to check out that he was okay), he found John in
|
|
a bar - drinking beer. The friend shouted at him to stop, but Smith just
|
|
looked confused. I have no problems, he yelled. I am here for a quick
|
|
beer before I go home to sleep, that is all. But his friend refused to
|
|
listen.
|
|
The next morning the friend called John's mother and told her about
|
|
the situation. She collapsed and had to be taken to the nearest hospital.
|
|
While she recovered, the father called John up and explained that he ought
|
|
to quit drinking. It did not matter what John said, no one listened. He
|
|
had problems, they said. Gigantic problems. He was an alcoholic that
|
|
wasted his life and almost had killed his own mother.
|
|
A few days later, John's mother got home. She immediately called the
|
|
boss at his work and told him about the tragic situation.
|
|
Two days later John Smith was dead and gone, hanging in his favorite
|
|
leather-tie in his tidy bathroom. He could not stand it any more.
|
|
The alcohol had slain him, his friends said and buried him.
