Over the past 10 years, I have been privileged to conduct educational forums for audiences containing many recovering alcoholics or otherwise chemically dependent persons. In these forums about the addictive diseases and their treatment and research possibilities, significant interaction with the audience members occurs. During these interactions, certain anecdotal phenomena seem to predominate. The repetitive nature of these reports suggests the need for systematic investigation. As with editorial comments in major medical journals, observed phenomena and unanswered questions from those afflicted can be valuable in the generation of testable hypotheses. Perhaps the ideas presented herein will be useful in the development of future research on alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence.
在过去十年里，我有幸为众多戒酒康复者或其他有药物依赖问题的人群举办教育论坛。在这些关于成瘾性疾病及其治疗和研究可能性的论坛上，与听众进行了大量互动。在这些互动过程中，某些轶事性现象似乎较为突出。这些报告的重复性表明有必要进行系统研究。与主流医学期刊的社论评论一样，观察到的现象以及患者提出的未解决问题对于生成可检验的假设可能很有价值。也许本文提出的观点将有助于未来关于酒精滥用和酒精依赖的研究发展。
