It's exactly how funny the idea of this psychic shining, this thing that you're born with, running tandem with alcoholism, and how you have to pass on once you go into recovery.
Imagine growing up with the haunting legacy of 'The Shining'. In this episode, the hosts of 'A is for Alcoholic' take a deep dive into 'Doctor Sleep', the gripping sequel to Stephen King's iconic story. The film follows Danny Torrance, now an adult grappling with alcoholism and the lingering psychic trauma from his past.
As Danny battles his demons, he also embarks on a journey toward sobriety and healing, making 'Doctor Sleep' much more than just a horror movie—it's a poignant tale of recovery. The hosts dissect the film's themes of addiction, the importance of community support, and the power of making amends. They also explore the parallels between the psychic 'shining' and the struggles of addiction, offering listeners a unique perspective on how trauma can shape one's path to recovery.
Whether you're a fan of Stephen King or interested in stories of overcoming addiction, this episode offers a thoughtful analysis that will leave you with plenty to ponder.
