The Hungry Ghosts Within: Understanding Addiction's Grip
In Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, a doctor walks among society's most marginalized, witnessing addiction's devastating impact firsthand. The Buddhist concept of "hungry ghosts"-beings with insatiable cravings they can never satisfy-perfectly captures the addicted state. What makes Gabor Mate's exploration so powerful is his dual perspective: physician to severely addicted patients and someone wrestling with his own behavioral addictions. This creates a bridge between worlds often kept separate. The Portland Hotel Society houses those society has abandoned-the "nonhousable"-without demanding sobriety or medication compliance. For many residents, it's "the only home they've ever had," a stark reality reflected in their statistics: 75% had over five addresses in the year before being housed, 90% have criminal records, and 36% are HIV positive. Here, death is a constant companion, with mortality rates ten times higher than the general population. Yet amid this chaos, authentic human connection flourishes in ways rarely seen elsewhere-residents share their last cigarettes, sit with dying neighbors, and demonstrate remarkable resilience despite constant loss.
