Abstract

The global pandemic lockdown created a risk factor for increased alcohol consumption in people with alcohol use disorder and relapse for those who were previously abstinent, with evidence suggesting that pre-lockdown abstinence status is not protective against lockdown-related relapse. We report a unique case of a middle-aged male with alcohol use disorder who experienced alcohol cravings and a fear of relapse due to exposure to disinfectants. A 54-year-old public transportation company worker, previously treated for an alcohol use disorder three times, and abstinent since his last treatment in 2017, reported anxiety, irritability, and constant fear of relapse due to increased exposure to sanitizers during the pandemic. He explained that while the diluted disinfectant made him think of alcohol, the now ever-present undiluted disinfectant makes him constantly crave alcohol and it makes it harder for him to work. Although he started group therapy treatment and had several follow-up visits, his poor performance at work and the fear of relapse resulted in him requesting a position change to work in open spaces and avoid the smell of disinfectant, which helped him remain abstinent. Disinfectants are a part of the "new normal," and their increased use is likely to be continued in the years to come, even after the pandemic resolves. Introducing a new behavioral pattern, such as the daily use of disinfectants in the general population, should prompt us to explore all possible consequences regarding its propagation.

酒精、COVID-19 和复发的气味:病例报告

摘要

全球大流行的封锁造成了酒精使用障碍患者饮酒量增加和以前戒酒者复发的风险因素,有证据表明,封锁前的戒酒状态不能防止与封锁相关的复发。我们报告了一个独特的案例,一名患有酒精使用障碍的中年男性经历了对酒精的渴望,并且由于接触消毒剂而害怕复发。一名 54 岁的公共交通公司工作人员,曾因酒精​​使用障碍接受过 3 次治疗,自 2017 年最后一次治疗以来一直禁欲,他报告说,由于在大流行期间接触消毒剂的次数增加,焦虑、易怒和不断担心复发。他解释说,虽然稀释的消毒剂让他想起了酒精,现在无处不在的未稀释消毒剂使他不断渴望酒精,这使他更难工作。虽然他开始了集体治疗,并进行了多次随访,但由于工作表现不佳和对复发的恐惧,他要求改变职位到空旷的地方工作,避免消毒剂的气味,这有助于他保持禁欲。消毒剂是“新常态”的一部分,即使在大流行消退之后,它们的使用量可能会在未来几年继续增加。引入一种新的行为模式,例如在普通人群中日常使用消毒剂,应该促使我们探索有关其传播的所有可能后果。虽然他开始了集体治疗,并进行了多次随访,但由于工作表现不佳和对复发的恐惧,他要求改变职位到空旷的地方工作,避免消毒剂的气味,这有助于他保持禁欲。消毒剂是“新常态”的一部分,即使在大流行消退之后,它们的使用量可能会在未来几年继续增加。引入一种新的行为模式,例如在普通人群中日常使用消毒剂,应该促使我们探索有关其传播的所有可能后果。虽然他开始了集体治疗,并进行了多次随访,但由于工作表现不佳和对复发的恐惧,他要求改变职位到空旷的地方工作,避免消毒剂的气味,这有助于他保持禁欲。消毒剂是“新常态”的一部分,即使在大流行消退之后,它们的使用量可能会在未来几年继续增加。引入一种新的行为模式,例如在普通人群中日常使用消毒剂,应该促使我们探索有关其传播的所有可能后果。消毒剂是“新常态”的一部分,即使在大流行消退之后,它们的使用量可能会在未来几年继续增加。引入一种新的行为模式,例如在普通人群中日常使用消毒剂,应该促使我们探索有关其传播的所有可能后果。消毒剂是“新常态”的一部分,即使在大流行消退之后,它们的使用量可能会在未来几年继续增加。引入一种新的行为模式,例如在普通人群中日常使用消毒剂,应该促使我们探索有关其传播的所有可能后果。
