It has long been established that addiction or SUD - Substance Use
Disorder - ruins lives and leads to illness, destruction of
families, and death. Chasing the "high" often brings the user
closer to death each time the use is increased even though the
person may choose to ignore the risk. Effective treatment is
essential to help recovering addicts change their lives and become
productive citizens, leading happy lives in perpetual sobriety.
Helping them adjust their focus from shame and guilt to improved
self-esteem and renewed sense of purpose in life is essential for
avoiding prolonged substance abuse. In addition to traditional
approaches, the use of creative writing as a treatment modality can
help the addicted person obtain and deploy the tools necessary to
remain sober. In this way, creative writing can help actualize the
whole person. Inviting people with addictions to share their
creative writing with the world helps them to connect their
experiences, observations, and recommendations to others. This book
is a collaborative effort between research, facilitation, and
contributions of the creative men at St. Christopher's Inn. Adding
to the variety and depth of the creative productions is the
incorporation of post-program writing from men who have completed
the program at St. Christopher's and have remained connected in
this special endeavor. This allows a window into the minds of the
longer-term recovering addicts, especially relating to the tools
that help them through life's persistent challenges. With this
book, we hope to show that writing does help in the treatment of
chemical addiction.
