Recovery And Other Affairs

I'm presently debating whether or not to post this. If you're reading it, then either I have, or you've gone and utilised one of those Trojan horse things like Orlando Bloom and got into my computer. If so, the porn is to your left, and please don't tell anyone about the government documents that explain how President Lincoln was actually a goose dressed up with some nice hats. Thanks for that.

Anyway, this is only a chunk of the first part of this, and eventually there's a moral, so if y'all like it and would like the rest, leave a comment, otherwise feel free to ignore all this waffling.

It's just that's its kinda serious, the whole addiction shebang, and it is truly possible to escape and all that kind of heart-warming uplifting stuff.

Here, then, is Part One.

Some Fucked Up Bullshit

Every now and again a decent, properly depraved addiction movie arrives, something seedy and filth-laden and positively bulging with the pus of desperation. Something like Nicholas Cage Drinks With Hookers, or Boogie Nights, something that replicates the thrill of waking up in someone else's vomit, that period of bleak procrastination between opening ones drink or drug or miscellaneous sodden eyes and realising what in God's name one got up to a few hours previous.

There's also the one with the woman from The Exorcist. Women From The Exorcist Doesn't Eat, it may have been called. It was alright. It certainly was green enough.
Cause green means sick, don't you know. And yet vegetation is healthy. But in any non-vegetation situation, green is the colour of the sick.

And nobody's sicker than the fool destined to indulge his foolishness, and pay for each fool-filled flight of fancy with his or her sanity or similar.

So anyway, those films. Those paeans to self-abuse and degradation. Stuff you take your partner along to, so as you can say, "Well, what would you prefer? That I lie on my arse all day or that I end up like that? You want that? You want me to be all Nick Cage and get hand-jobs in motels as I shiver the flesh from my bones in some stinking piss-filled bed? I thought as much. Damn grateful, is what you should be."

Unless of course you are doing all that. With or without the hand-jobs.

Then it doesn't work quite so well. Then the significant other is likely to glance with suspicion at every sip of amber-liquid you consume. Destined to cringe every time the tins open with a tell-tale pssst.

    OK. thank you. note the time that this was posted. It took me to 5 in the mornin to finally decide upon it. As for the book that's linked to there, obviously any help is to be appreciated, and thanks to whoever put the link on, since i was half asleep when i was posting this. Personally, tho, i found books and literature and all that to be little help without human contact. But whatever helps, man. Thanks for the encouragement. Il get Part 2 up ASAP, though it might take a day or two. Thank you.
