Drug Recovery

Who can forget Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly character from Charles Dickens’ timeless novel, A Christmas Carol?

During the holidays, Scrooge experiences symptoms that are indicative of PTSD. The very sights and sounds of Christmas fill him with resentment and dread.

Thanks to the visits of a few ghosts, Scrooge experiences a spiritual rebirth. These phantasms not only help him connect to his traumatic childhood and his present isolated existence, but the last ghost which shows Scrooge his future, shows him a terrifying vision of his own tombstone. Ebenezer becomes aware that his life will have a tragic and lonely end.

And so it is with alcoholics and addicts who are suffering in the throes of addiction. Like Scrooge, they are walking on a dark and lonely road. Unless they turn their lives around, their future looks bleak.

The holidays are especially tough for alcoholics and addicts. Besides suffering from chemical dependency, other issues might pop up. Visits from the “ghosts” of Christmas past, present and future might make alcoholics and addicts even more depressed. The memories of past traumas, the reality of their current situations and a dread of the future can compel them to drink and/or use even more, in the hopes of gaining temporary relief. What often happens is that these individuals end up feeling worse, while their lives continue to fall apart.

Sometimes they meet tragic ends.

But like Scrooge, they can turn their lives around.

But they need help in doing so.
