Wednesday is French Dip Day. "Dip", the French word for "rubber ducky". It's World Pneumonia Day, but a little chicken soup will clear that right up. Which is why it's also Chicken Soup for the Soul Day.

Girl becomes drug addict, claims she's possessed. Twelve steps don't ensue.
I liked the drug treatment facility angle, at least until she gets kicked out. Then it becomes a typical demon possession story.
