E-mail: punarjanipoomala@yahoo.com www.punarjani.org ————————————————————————————————————————————— A New Venture for Recovery from Alcoholism Punarjani means the rebirth, yes, really it is a rebirth not only for its founderer, Managing Trustee DR. Johns K. Mangalam, but also for more than 200 alcoholic addicts and for their whole family members. This is really a miraculous achievement for an NGO, which was formed by a group of Ex-Alcoholics, who were victims of Alcoholism ,some persons affected by this malady and few humanists who have real concern about them. Punarjani is at Poomala, a sleepy village 16 km away from Thrissur town near Mulamkunnathukavu. This organization is distinct from any other organization due to its peculiarities. This initiative is led by DR. Johns K. Mangalam, who has several distinction to this credit like two first ranks, a Ph.D. Degree in Philosophy, a short term teaching experience at Sree Kerala Varma College,Thrissur and was a practising Advocte.He was a severe Alcoholic for twenty years but come out of it nine years ago. Poomala which is the home village of DR. Johnson also has the history of wide spread Alcoholism because in the early days of migration about 60 years back,the predominant population here had been relying heavily on alcohol to pep up their spirit in their struggle for survival amidst harsh weather, attack of wild animals and disease like malaria Most of the first generation migrants used to consume illicit liquor from their childhood. Many of them lost their lives prematurely either due to suicide and diseases like liver problems or by accidents -all linked to alcoholin some way or other. But even though DR. Johns belongs to this group, by the grace of God he recovered from it after many admissions and discharges from a number of De-addiction treatment centers. It was a chance realization for DR. Johnson that,Alcoholism is a disease and from it anybody can recover through adopting a new life style and through prompt knowledge about the nature, reasons, effects and methods of recovery from it. When he recognized that his efforts to get away from liquor were finally successful after innumerable failures, he tried to influence his friends and others to recover from the disease which is being wrongly called as a “bad habit”. Together with his friends who had also recovered from Alcoholism and with the help of some humanitarian friends they started an organization with the goal to recover and rehabilitate Alcoholics and their families and also educate them about the evil influence of alcohol. Through out the last three and half years they have been conducting Seminars, creative discussions between the experts in this subject and the public. They also conducted various awareness camps and classes about the problems faced by the alcoholics and the reasons along with solutions for the condition of Alcoholism. Now they are conducting an experiment with their newly innovated means and methods to release an Alcoholic from this condition. Punarjani produced a audio-video CD about Alcoholism by the same name Punarjani and conducted the screening of the said documentary at many places, in order to create awareness about this disease. They distributed hundreds of copies of the said documentary in the CD form through out Kerala free of cost. Through the tireless efforts of volunteers of Punarjani they could act as a catalyst for the recovery of a large number of alcoholic addicts within a very short span of time. Meanwhile they purchased one acre of land at the beautiful and tranqiul area adjacent to Poomala Dam. Now at the said site in two small sheds they are conducting
