American Notes
BOSTON
"I Am an Alcoholic"
</hdr><body>
<p> Kitty Dukakis returned home to Boston last week full of
plans for speaking engagements and fund-raising campaigns for
Armenia, AIDS and the homeless. But her most important project
involves a continuing struggle. "I now know that I am an
alcoholic," she said as her husband stood beside her.
</p>
<p> After a "terribly painful and lonely period" following
Michael Dukakis' loss in last November's presidential election,
Kitty, 52, checked into a Rhode Island clinic in early February
for treatment of a drinking problem. She refused to blame the
defeat for her troubles. "Any crisis could have led to the
drinking," she said. "The campaign was a very positive
experience for me. The only thing that happened wrong was that
we lost." She can only hope her next campaign turns out better.
