=== Addiction ===
Substance abuse and its impact on human personalities also features in the ''Babylon 5'' storyline. Garibaldi is a relapsing-remitting alcoholic, who practices complete [[abstinence]] throughout most of the series until the [[Phoenix Rising (Babylon 5)|middle of season five]], only recovering at the end of the season. [[Zack Allan]], his eventual replacement as chief of security, was given a second chance by Garibaldi after overcoming his own addiction to an unspecified drug. Dr. [[Stephen Franklin (Babylon 5)|Stephen Franklin]] develops an addiction to injectable [[stimulant]] drugs while trying to cope with the chronic stress and work overload in Medlab, and he takes a leave of absence from his position to recover. Executive Officer [[Susan Ivanova]] mentions that her father became an alcoholic after her mother's suicide. Captain [[Elizabeth Lochley]] tells Garibaldi that her father was an alcoholic, and that she is a recovering alcoholic herself.{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}}
