STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
14:44 / 08.10.03
I guess it'll come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I "suffer" from what my doctor tactfully and euphemistically refers to as Alcohol Dependency Syndrome. On the urgent advice of friends (who seem to give more of a shit about me than they probably should, therefore who ROCK) I'm going back into alcohol counselling.

And I'm scared. Okay, I've done it before, a few years back, but I don't think I stuck at it long enough. Tomorrow's my first session and, while I know pretty much what to expect, the very fact that I'm in a position where I have to do it is... well, y'know, a bit scary.

My doctor's also referred me to the hospital for a blood test to see if my liver still exists. Damn, this is all getting a bit much.

Sorry to ask, but if anyone has any huggles or healing vibes or any shit like that spare, could I borrow 'em for a while? I promise I won't sell them to buy booze...

Old chap. I say. For what it's worth, I think this is the right thing to do - and you must think so too, otherwise you wouldn't be doing it. Hope you make it work. Courage.

Oh god, good luck, and well done for deciding to go through with it. Hope it goes okay, both the counselling and the blood tests.

Well done for taking the first step. I know it's scary, but I think you're doing the right thing. I have my own addictions - food - and I know how hard it is. Thinking of you.
