I sit down on a squeaky old chair in the circle of the church hall. a man in his late 50's stands "hello all, I'm David and I'm an addict."
"Hi David." everyone says straight after
he waves kindly "i am your Narcotic anonymous leader." he says with a smile "i will help you all through your journey to recovery." he says kindly "now, we have a new face in our merry band, Andrea, please." he says making me stand "go ahead." he says
"Uh hi, I'm Andrea, everyone calls me Andy." i say giving a small wake and sitting down.
they all look almost annoyed but as if they expected this from me. " Jesus, kids are so stupid sometimes." A man in his 40's says
"Mitchel-" David begins
"What? did i do something wrong?" i ask
David sighs "Andy, the whole point you are here is to accept the fact that you are an addict and need help." he says calmly
"Okay well i know that-"
"You are supposed to say it." An old woman says as she continues to knit what appears to be a scarf
"Martha, not you too-"
"Look David it supposed to be a safe space-"
"Guys let's talk a big breath in and take every day as it comes." David says
the session ends and i watch as Martha, a 65 year old grandma with a knitted cat jumper, begins to put all the biscuits set out for people in her knitting bag.
i see a man talk with David, they talk over steaming hot cups of coffee in to go cups. i sort of just stand there till "can you move?" i hear behind me. i turn to see Mitchel standing there with an empty cup of coffee. "you aren't making yourself a drink, you can leave." he says
i decide I'm already in hell so why not talk to a demon. "Hey what is your issue with me?" i ask
he laughs "nothing kid-"
"There is only one of us acting like a kid." i snap back
"Ohh good you have a back bone, maybe use it to accept your own issues." he says turning back round to me now with a full cup of coffee.
"i have accepted it-"
"Wrong." He says calmly
"Thats why I'm here-"
"Wrong again kiddo. you can't even accept the fact you are just like us... an addict."
"Look I'm sorry that drugs caused you to lose everything in your life but I'm pretty good, if drugs 'ruined me' then how come i am back in school with a 4.0 GPA after being to rehab the whole summer?" i state to him with a smirk
"Because you are a smart, i don't know, why you even go to rehab if you aren't an addict?" he asks looking at me without breaking eye contact "ah." he says
"What?" I ask angrily
"You tried to off yourself I'm sure, though your life is soooo good i mean-" he begins but i shove him making his hot coffee go all over him. "shit!"
Mitchel has a mix of shame in his words and annoyance in my own actions. He begins to say something but David jumps in between us.
"Andy, go home, i will see you next week." David says as he gets a tea towel for Mitchel
well shit.
