Loss That Is Difficult
Loss That Is Difficult
Often one experiences grief when they suffer a loss that is difficult for them to handle. A person will “shut down” as a result of experiencing a loss or trauma usually due to being so overcome with negative emotion. Although this reaction to loss is normal, it can start a downward spiral for an addict. Lacking healthy coping mechanisms, the person is likely to abuse alcohol and drugs more frequently. The isolation brought on by having to stay indoors during the pandemic made life a great deal worse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse found that drug and alcohol use increased as a result of the isolation brought on by COVID-19. Someone who is dealing with underlying issues might find themselves in an even worse situation if they withdraw into themselves. Even recovering addicts who are isolated and have little stimulation can go down a dark path and become fixated on past substance abuse or other life issues that contributed to their addiction. Forced to deal with their mistakes on their own, they may attempt to numb the pain with alcohol or drugs. It is vital to reach out to anyone you know who is experiencing a loss, whether it be the death of a family member, a relationship ending or losing a job. 09/18/2023 11:00 PM
