so recovery for me, as you know, is vital. sobriety is the first thing i think of every morning. still? still. that doesn't change? never will change, that. it's the end of may now and i'm catching up with mike again, outside the recovery centre. this is where i used to drink. that places the devil — the devil. honestly? honestly. it can be like this everyone for coming out of addiction. temptation can feel ever present. for mike, it'sjust across the road, birkenhead's bars and pubs and nightclubs just steps away. it depends on what side of the street you want to be on, doesn't it? when you look over there is there any temptation? no, no. it's just disgust, more than anything. really? really. and i'm just like, oh! because i sort of get a flashback to, like, me being kicked out by a bouncer because i was too pissed or something. and i'mjust, oh, what we were you thinking?! yeah. you're very positive. you've got to be. you have to be. laughter.
