Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat | Doctor Sleep | 2019 (with Emily Alyn Lind and Zahn McClarnon)

YEESSS I got inspired for an easy Halloween costume I am going to put together this year!! It's mostly closet cosplay, a little sewing and 3d printing! This was my Rose the Hat cosplay I did a couple of years ago. I expected Dr. Sleep to be a horrible sequel after all these years, but it was so good! I loved Rose, she's such an unapologetically bad bitch. Pics @scoundrel.run

Moving Forward: How to Build a Better Life

Note on the text: I used Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep as published in 2016 by Pocket Books

In many ways this is a book about how to change your life and build a fulfilling life for yourself regardless of what you’ve done in the past. Dan Torrence is a recovering alcoholic and it’s through his journey to sobriety that we can all learn a little bit about how to forgive ourselves for our past and truly move on. Because we all deserve to live fulfilling lives regardless of what we’ve done.

The book starts with a quote from Alcoholics Anonymous: “we stood at the turning point. Half measures availed us nothing” (dedication page). That is in many ways the central lesson of the book. Dan only starts to get better when accepts that “the only one who can put on the brakes is [himself]. . . . [That he doesn’t] have to live this way if [he doesn’t] want to. [He] can of course. . . but [he doesn’t] have to” (68). Change is not possible until one fully understands where “here” is and that it’s a bad place to be. You have to own our own life and our own choices before you can access the power that you need to actually make the changes that you need to make in your life.

Dan does this in various ways, some obvious, others less so. One of the obvious ways in which he does this is by admitting he is an alcoholic and taking responsibility for the ways in which he has hurt other people (specifically a ex girlfriend whom he stole from). On another less obvious note, he also takes responsibility for his life by admitting WHY he drinks. Understanding what triggers you and figuring why you do what you do is important. Because until you learn what your trigger is and find another way to deal with that specific trigger, your road to recovery is going to be longer and bumpier than it needs to be.

In the case of Dan the reason he drinks has to do with the supernatural power that he has. Now fans of The Shining will remember that Dan has the ability to communicate telepathically with other people, specifically ghosts, and to read people’s minds. While there are some benefits to having this power, it is, by and large, something in his brain that he wishes he could turn off. And while

warm morning sunshine was good and the pleasant feeling of muscles that had been worked hard, and waking up without a hangover but the price- all these crazy dreams and visions, not to mention the random thoughts of passing strangers that sometimes found their way past his defenses- was too high. Too high to bear. . . . Without the booze to at least stun it, these visions [would] go on until they [drove him] insane. . . . The mind was a blackboard. Booze was the eraser (95, 100-101).

So if step one is admit you have a problem, and step two is realize that only you have the power to change your life, and step three is own your own choices by understanding why you make those choices, then the final step must be to resolve to do things in a different way from here on out. It means that instead of doing X when your triggered you do Y. In the case of Danny it means that instead of drinking to deal with the effects of his power he’s going to try to use them to help people in the ways that only he can. So he helps teach other telepaths, like Abra, how to use their powers and then he works as a hospice nurse to help his patients die well. By the end of the book he has accepted that he “could help [people]. It was his sacrament. What he was made for” and he refuses to let his past and his feelings about his past dictate what he does now because “that was then and this is now. Because the past is gone even though it defines the present” (634, 585). Everyone deserves to lead happy and fulfilling lives regardless of what they’ve done in the past. And that is what the character of Dan does in the end.

Mike Flanagan shares a photo of himself and Alex Essoe on the set of Doctor Sleep. In the photo, he is poking his head through the bathroom door while Alex, as Wendy Torrance, screams with a knife in her hand. The caption reads, "Heeeeeerrreee's a throwback #DoctorSleep"
