General Hospital Spoilers: Sasha’s Spiraling – Is Michael Really Worth A Cocaine Addiction?

General Hospital (GH) spoilers suggest that Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) could be on the path to drug addiction given her recent bout of cocaine use. GH fans know that Sasha apparently couldn’t pull herself together and was a crying mess when it came time for the Deception photoshoot. A makeup artist handed Sasha some coke and after Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) blathered on about how noble the two of them were, Sasha took the drugs to “get through the shoot.”

General Hospital Spoilers – Sasha Isn’t Too Bright

As most GH viewers know by now, Sasha has been going through a rough patch lately. First, she foolishly insisted on tricking her boyfriend, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) into believing that she had cheated on him with his best friend. Then, Sasha insisted on maintaining the lie even though she could have swiftly rectified the problem. Of course, GH fans know that Sasha has lied to herself so much lately that she’s bought into her own B.S.

With that said, Sasha apparently feels horrible about the breakup with Michael and she can’t seem to get over it. Of course, cocaine will make everything better and Sasha’s anguish will melt away. At least, her emotional torment might disappear for the hour or so that she needs to smile for the cameras. Right?

Well, no. First, Sasha ought to know better. Secondly, if she really needed something to “get her through the shoot” she could have had a shot or two of Vodka. Sasha could have hit the bong. After all, many people smoke a little weed here and there when they’re feeling down, and unlike Sasha they don’t face a nasty addiction afterward.

General Hospital Spoilers – Sasha Needs Ice Cream

Many GH fans, especially if they’re old enough, know what it’s like to go through a painful breakup. Most do not turn to drugs or alcohol in order to stop the pain, unlike Sasha. That’s because GH viewers know that the high these substances provide is exceedingly temporary and when you come down, the pain and loss that followed the breakup remain.

If Sasha is smart, her cocaine use will be a one time, moment of weakness. Of course, that’s easier said than done since cocaine is incredibly addictive. However, what Sasha really needs is a bucket of ice cream, nights in with friends where she watches The Notebook and bawls her eyes out, followed by getting out and doing things she actually enjoys.

In other words, Sasha needs to get Michael out of her system and move on. Sasha needs to remember that it was her choice to break up with Michael. It’s over. It’s done. Sasha didn’t take it back when she had the chance. Now Sasha needs to own her decision and get on with her life.

General Hospital Spoilers – Sasha Makes a New Start

Of course, GH fans might agree that just telling Sasha to “get over it” is really bad advice. Sasha needs sympathetic and empathetic friends whom she can lean on. That said, Sasha needs to remember that while she’s currently idealizing all her moments with Michael, the reality was that Sasha really didn’t want to become an “Insta-Mommy” to Wiley Cooper-Jones (Erik and Theo Olson). Marriage wasn’t on Sasha’s radar no matter how much she felt she loved Michael at the time.

In other words, life with Michael wasn’t complete peaches and cream. Sasha needs to focus on the fact that she would have had to make a ton of compromises in order to remain in a relationship with Michael.

When all is said and done, if Sasha can rectify her mistake with the cocaine and allow herself the time she needs to grieve, she might end up discovering that her choice to break up with Michael was a good thing for her in the end.
