The holidays arrive each year with their lights, music, family, friends, and expectations, which can sometimes feel overwhelming instead of joyful, and that's exactly the problem. 

If this time of year feels more exhausting and feeling down than exciting, you're not alone. Plenty of people are just trying to get through it while everyone around them seems to be having the time of their lives.

Here's the thing: not every family gathering is warm. Not every memory tied to this season is a good one. And feeling stressed, sad, or disconnected right now doesn't mean something's wrong with you.

My name is Michael Pugh, and I am an honorably discharged U.S. Army combat veteran.

I served on active duty for several enlistments with the 3rd Infantry and 82nd Airborne Divisions, as well as a platoon sergeant in the 4/160 Infantry California National Guard, where I graduated from many schools, including Airborne, Jumpmaster, Jungle Warfare, and Ranger Schools.

During my service, I amassed a distinguished record and am a highly decorated soldier.

Drug tolerance definition is sometimes misunderstood, as the nature and development of the phenomena are quite complicated. Drug tolerance occurs due to prolonged consumption of medication: sedatives, stimulants, or painkillers.

After continuous intake of a prescription or recreational drug at a certain dose, a person's reaction to it dulls.

People who experience drug tolerance tend to misuse it and develop dependence which is followed by drug addiction.

Developing drug tolerance takes you a step closer to addiction and needing a drug use rehab program such the one we provide here in Thailand - regardless if the drug in question is a prescribed medication, or one bought on the streets.
