Why Do We Cling to the Past?

Time- this is a mystery even Einstein didn’t understand, in addition to god. Einstein was a god fearing man. He didn’t use the presence of science to negate the presence of god. Time is something really elusive. we are in it side by side we are creating it; it also, at the same time, lives in us. Scenes of particular times are like episodes of memory in our head. Time seems to move faster when we are enjoying it. It slows down like a tortoise when we are in pain. When we eat burgers it flies; when we exercise it slows down. Sometimes we want to beat it like in a race. Sometimes we want it to go on forever.

But what does time have to do with addiction and mental illness?

Everything!

Let’s suppose we have 100% of what we are doing right now. 40% of it is going about thinking about the past. 40% is about the future. 12% is about others and 8% about ourselves in the present.

This is the problem. We are not present at the moment. We keep on thinking about so much other stuff that we don’t work on ourselves. There just seems to be no time for it. We spend all the time we have, or think we have. Thinking of the past causes depression;of the future causes anxiety. we are not helping ourselves.

The answer is to live in the present moment. If we are in the here and now, time is nothing separate from the experience of living. If we can spend 100% in the present, the neural connections will strengthen and little misshapen will not cause the present to shatter. One’s mood will remain stable and they will not have to turn to any substance. One also has to learn to manage mood and time together as they are interlinked.

When a fun activity comes to an end, our bodies and mind want to cling to that time, that past. Thus we try to do 1 more fun thing. We just want fun fun fun. However, that is not healthy. We always need to come out of our comfort zones and attempt an activity that doesn’t have the element of fun. And it’s all about time. Time is a very important element to manage in recovery.

We have to understand when, at what moment the process of relapse starts, how long should each follow up be, how long does the patient have to be in rehab, at what time can he go to bed, at what time to eat. Everything is around time. There is much to be done and just enough time for it to be done and not a second more. Once we understand and accept that, we can begin recovery.

At The Hermitage Rehab, the patients are cured and monitored regularly not to give them space for relapse in the process of recovery. It leads to proper coordination of family and doctors with the patient. Finding ways to get over addiction is the major perspective of a de addiction patient. He wants to find reasons to get the addiction once again and then he agai starts the dose. But the team at the best rehab center in Punjab is well specialized to treat the patients from Addiction.

People are generally fond of parties and fun activities but sometimes they get indulged into various addictive habits which later on harm themselves. According to JPS Bhatia, people accidentally choose the way of addiction or substance abuse but further on they find pleasure in it and never wish to quit it. But in this case, they take on debt and get into theft habits which ruin their personal lives. Even family members don’t trust those people who are in addiction.
