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.
