Book Synopsis Rum Maniacs by : Matthew Warner Osborn
Download or read book Rum Maniacs written by Matthew Warner Osborn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important study explores the medicalization of alcohol abuse in the 19th century US” and its influence on American literature and popular culture (Choice). In Rum Maniacs, Matthew Warner Osborn examines the rise of pathological drinking as a subject of medical interest, social controversy, and lurid fascination in 19th century America. At the heart of that story is the disease that afflicted Edgar Allen Poe: delirium tremens. Poe’s alcohol addiction was so severe that it gave him hallucinations, such as his vivid recollection of standing in a prison cell, fearing for his life, as he watched men mutilate his mother’s body—an event that never happened. First described in 1813, delirium tremens and its characteristic hallucinations inspired sweeping changes in how the medical profession saw and treated the problems of alcohol abuse. Based on new theories of pathological anatomy, human physiology, and mental illness, the new diagnosis established the popular belief that habitual drinking could become a psychological and physiological disease. By midcentury, delirium tremens had inspired a wide range of popular theater, poetry, fiction, and illustration. This romantic fascination endured into the twentieth century, most notably in the classic Disney cartoon Dumbo, in which a pink pachyderm marching band haunts a drunken young elephant. Rum Maniacs reveals just how delirium tremens shaped the modern experience of alcohol addiction as a psychic struggle with inner demons.

This book was released on 2019-09-28 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neal Linares ping-ponged from the US to El Salvador during his growing up years, causing him to struggle with feeling a sense of belonging and the need to escape life. He found the solution in a liquor bottle. He drank himself out of military school. He drank himself out of relationships. He drank himself into insanity. Falling deeper and deeper, he clung to his skewed perspective of life: it was not his fault and he was not powerless against alcohol. No, he was in control! Oh, he gave sanity a shot. He really did. For eight years he played the part of the perfect husband, perfect worker, and perfect churchgoer. But it just didn't seem . . . normal. Sanity didn't suit him. So he fell back into the comfortable arms of insanity. Then after spiraling to the bottom of the barrel, he found Santa. Or was it the lights of a cop car? Finding his second wife gone and feeling alone as he has always felt, he began an incredible journey of learning to find comfort in sanity. One day at a time. Comfortably Insane is about more than just overcoming addiction. It is about recognizing your flaws, taking ownership of them, recognizing that change is within you, and making the daily choice to do better and be better.

Book Synopsis Instant Idiot Just Add Alcohol by : Sonny Carbo
Download or read book Instant Idiot Just Add Alcohol written by Sonny Carbo and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that the choices one makes and the mistakes that have been made can very well define a man and how he has lived his life. But then how do you describe the life of a man who has done nothing but mistakes and has let his vices and addictions run his life? This is a cautionary tale of a man who has gotten caught up in a twisted road of alcohol, drugs, addiction, depression, and eventually suicidal thoughts, and it is only through the grace of God that this man finds his own path off this twisted road. However, the path to forgiveness and repentance is not an easy one, as the reader will soon find out. The days into months into years that this man spends trying to find his path, his road to salvation, will hopefully inspire readers to see that perhaps their problems are not as difficult as they seem, and perhaps there is still hope for them to see God’s true intentions for them.
