Tony Zborowski received an Alcohol An ongoing study at the Addiction Research Foundation shows that some problem drinkers are able to quit on their own without formal help or treat- ment. The study also shows that the decision to quit is usually caused by a build up of negative experiences, rather than by one traumatic one. "This study is more thorough and wider in scope than previous natural recoveries," says Dr. Linda Sobell, head of Behavioural Treatment Research at the ARF. "Our ultimate goal is to promote natural recoveries for people who are unwilling or not ready to come to treatment pro- grams, but who wish to change their drinking. "Treatment is not only the path to recovery from an alcohol prob- lem. Just as some people are able to quit smoking on their own, others are able to quit drinking. "However, we were surprised to find that there was no specific experience that caused people to quit. Most of the people quit drinking because of a minor event -- the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. In other words, the person decides that the costs of drinking outweigh the benefits. In the first phase of the study, researchers interviewed 182 sub- jects divided into 4 groups: - Those who quit drinking on their own and were abstinent for at least three years. These sub- jects averaged eight years of abstinence. - Those who had been unsuc- cessfully treated, but later quit drinking on their own. award for the most improved tons with an increase of 17 from last year. Laurie Bottomley received the women's award with an increase of 20 tons.

Research Study - A control group of people who still had a drinking problem and had never received help or treatment. On average, subjects had a drinking problem for 12 to 14 years. All subjects were rated on a standard test (Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test) to determine the severity of their past drinking behaviour. The mean score for the four groups ranged from 17 to 36 -- a score of five or more indicates an alcohol problem. So far 41 subjectsshave been re-interviewed. Two have gone back to problem drinking, and two abstinent subjects have become moderate drinkers since the first interview. "The most significant differ- ence between this study and oth- ers looking at natural recovery is the control group," says Sobell. "If only recovered subjects are studied, it is impossible to know if the relationship between specif- ic events and recovery are signifi- cant or merely coincidental. For example, if we find that many naturally recovered persons were divorced in the year before their recovery -- does that mean that divorce leads to recovery or that divorce is common among alco- hol abusers? "It's important for us to learn more about natural recoveries. For every person who is treated for an alcohol problem, there may be as many as 13 who are not treated. 'If we can discover how natural recoveries work, we may be able to help those people who will not go for treatment." the study also found that nearly half of those who quit drinking had quit smoking - a much higher percentage than the control group. Sobell says this suggests a - possible relationship between the two drugs which will be explored in the second phase of the study.

The cost of a daily vehicle entry permit increases from $3.00 to $4.00. A four-day pass will now cost $9.00, up from $6.00, and the cost of an annual pass rises to $25.00 from $20.00. Park user fees help defray the cost of providing park services, yet less than 15 per cent of the cost of operating national parks is recovered through user fees. The remaining amount is paid from general tax revenues. The entrance fees apply to all motor vehicles entering a national park, except for vehicles com- muting through parks that are crossed by a provincial or nation- al transportation corridor. Changes to other Canadian Park Service fees, including those for camping in national parks and lockage on historic canals, will be announced in coming weeks. The increase in park entrance fees was announced by Treasury Board in December 1989 as part of a federal government revenue- generating measure.
