Dallas Bragg describes Puppet Paul, someone whose substance use has spread from weekends into daily life. Paul feels on autopilot, partying without enjoyment, isolated and disconnected from his own body. Bragg urges anyone recognizing this pattern to seek help immediately.
All right, the Tina archetype of the week. This week is Puppet Paul. Paul has given his life over to Tina. He is on a pattern of every weekend that is bleeding into every week. He is on autopilot. He doesn't even enjoy the parties anymore. And he doesn't even want to use anymore. But he finds himself there every week anyway. Often he is just buying the stuff and going home to isolate. He has lost all total sense of who he is or where his life is going. But And it is like his body is moving without his brain telling it what to do. If you are Puppet Paul, seek help immediately. With use this severe, treatment may be your best option, but either way, ask for help before it's too late.
