Dr. Nevitt spoke for an hour on a topic, “Alcoholism/Addiction: It Isn’t What You
Might Think…,” related to Alcohol Awareness month. The lecture integrated Nevitt’s
experiences in recovery with materials presented in SOWK 410 Addiction that he instructs
every spring semester at Peru State College. Among the topics discussed were: What
is Alcoholism? What is meant by a “High Functioning Alcoholic,” What is meant by “Recovery.”
Additional remarks about how common heavy drinking and binge drinking were rounded
out a question and answer session. The presentation was well-attended with both college
counselors and approximately twenty-five students present.
