Turning to drugs to numb the pain from "summary" of Breaking Night by Liz Murray
Liz found herself caught in a cycle of despair. The pain of her difficult circumstances weighed heavily on her young shoulders. She felt overwhelmed by the chaos of her home life, the constant uncertainty of where she would sleep or when she would eat. It was a heavy burden for a child to bear. As she navigated the harsh realities of life on the streets, Liz turned to drugs as a way to escape. The temporary relief they provided offered a brief respite from the harshness of her surroundings. The drugs dulled the sharp edges of her reality, allowing her to forget, if only for a moment, the struggles she faced each day. But the relief was only temporary. The drugs could not erase the deep-rooted pain and trauma that haunted Liz. In fact, they only served to further complicate her life, leading her down a dangerous path of addiction and self-destruction. Turning to drugs was a coping mechanism, a way for Liz to numb the pain that threatened to overwhelm her. It offered a false sense of control in a world that felt chaotic and out of her grasp. But ultimately, it was a destructive choice that only served to deepen her despair. In her darkest moments, Liz clung to the drugs as a lifeline, a way to survive the harsh realities of her existence. But as she would come to learn, true healing could not be found at the bottom of a bottle or the end of a needle. It was only through facing her pain head-on, confronting the demons that haunted her, that Liz could begin to find a way out of the darkness that threatened to consume her.
