hung out with a recovering heroin addict i work with, he's a year in methodone treatment, and stil has pains and cravings. what's in the future wqith drink? not that we'll ever be togethe again, but i still miss her. don't see...  you know what? eff it, i'm better than this. i don't need it. why should i act like i want something i don't need. not i don't ned it like i don't need an ipod. (i love my ipod) my ipod is useful, and for a music lover, it's vertually invaluable. but not necessary. neither is alcohol. and i don't have any use for it. it doesn't have a use for me. at this age, my body is going to start the breaking down process, and i don't need to help it along like i have. i don't want to live forever. i'm not vain. it's just, i'm not done yet.
