Three months later
With Danny's help, I was getting over my drug addiction. I'm attending an addiction support group once a week, which was for, not just people with drug addictions, but people with alcohol addictions and even smoking addictions too. Danny sometimes sat with me in the support groups and I was making a lot of progress. I'm off the drugs, even though, sometimes I get tempted, it's all about willpower, control and having the urge to say no.
We were out at the park and one of the dealers walks past us. He looks at me, as if to say, do you want some? Danny shoots me a glance and I know what to say. No.
"Alright T, do you want some?" He asks.
"No thanks" I reply.
"You sure?" He asks, again.
"Yeah, positive" I respond.
"Alright fine" He says to me and walks off.
"Well done T. I know that must have been hard for you to do" Danny praised me.
"Thanks Dan" I smile at him.
"You're doing really well you know" He reassures me.
"I've got you to thank for that" I laugh.
I'll be honest, I didn't think you could do it" He admits.
"It's hard. I still get tempted" I sigh.
"You'll be fine, once you start getting clean properly" He comforts me.
"I know. Do you fancy going somewhere instead of sitting here all day?" I suggest.
"Yeah sure, like where?" Danny asks.
"I dunno, anywhere, I'm just bored of sitting there" I told him.
"Me too to be honest" He agrees.
We got up off the bench and left the park. We saw Richard in the park with all his mates. He looked over at us.
"Ignore him T. Don't give him the satisfaction" Danny whispered to me.
"Yeah I know" I replied.
"Ay T!" Richard called over to me.
"Come on, we'll go back to yours, ignore him" Danny answered.
So I did just that. I ignored him and carried on walking and he kept calling me. When will he get the message? Will he ever get the message?
"T!" He shouted to me down the park
"Ignore him" Danny told me.
"I am. I'm gonna go home and have a nice quiet afternoon with no stress" I replied, confidently.
"Yeah you are" Danny agreed.
Me and Danny ignored Richard, who soon got the message and went back to his mates. I wanted nothing more to do with him. He hated my guts for pinching off him, which I could understand, but at the same time, I hated his guts for him not accepting that I was sorry for everything I've done. I don't need him anyway. I'm a recovering drug user and part of the recovery process is to have help and support from family and friends, and Richard is neither a friend nor a family member. Whereas Danny, well he's been a rock to me and I couldn't ask for a better friend. My Mum was out working, so it was just me, Danny, an X Box and some ice cream. Perfect!
A few hours later
We'd eaten the tub of ice cream and were still sat playing X Box when my Mum came home from work.
"Oh hello again Danny. You're round here quite a lot now" My Mum teased him.
"We're just friends" Danny insisted.
