Not so, a Texas A&M psychologist said. Possibly one-fourth of college stu dents nationwide come from alco holic or chemical-dependent fami lies, and as few as 5 percent of those students understand how their pasts affect them in school, Dr. Mike Wil- bourn said. “One of the problems most in tensely felt by students we call Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) is the issue of compulsivity,” Wilbourn said.

ACOAs often choose professions that affect many people although they have difficulty relating to other people. Being an ACOA does not mean a life predestined to alcohol or sub stance abuse, but coping mech anisms learned at home make it dif ficult to relate in a healthy way to others, Wilbourn said. Of the estimated 70 million Amer icans affected by alcoholism, 14 mil lion are actual alcoholics. For the estimated 25 percent of the students at A&M who are in some way affected > by alcoholism, help is available through the Drug Prevention and Education Program and the ACOA support groups and therapy groups at the Student Coun seling Service.
