Reign

"So, what made you spiral into drug and alcohol abuse?" I asked

He sighed heavily

"I don't know, just everything"

"Well, where did it all start?" I questioned

"Look Reign I-" he began to grow angry

I raised my eyebrows at his tone, giving him a fake 'don't you dare' face

"I don't know. I'm sorry, okay?" he said, quietening his voice down

"There's nothing to be sorry for. Now, I'm going to ask you again. Where did it start?"

"Well, you know. You just left. I felt like shit and I didn't know what to do. I suppose I went to party after party and I just enjoyed the feeling that alcohol gave" he answered

A pang of guilt hit me and my heart ached but I nodded, prompting him to carry on

"I got myself another girlfriend to occupy my time. I ended up getting too attached and she broke my heart. So, I went to more and more parties"

"I was at this one party when I was 21 and this guy dragged me through to the kitchen" he sighed

I could tell he was majorly disappointed with himself and quite frankly, I was too

"They had lines of coke on the counter and me being delusional and heart broken, I sniffed one, thinking it'd be fun. It just got worse from there and I began to rely on it more and more"

His head dropped into his hands and I heard him take a shaky breath

"It's okay, Mr Birlem. Carry on for me, if you can" I said, reassuring him

"You're my last resort. I've been to too many rehabs and psychologists to count on my hands. Non of them ever worked, they just seemed like they didn't care and non gave me the motivation I needed"

"I was told by a friend to come here, a fellow ex addict, because he said you were the best psychologist out there. I just didn't realise that it was you until I sat in this chair"

"Well, surprise!" I smiled

He let out a light chuckle; looking up at me with hope in his eyes, something that I missed dearly

"So, I'm going to try and help you using cognitive behavioural therapy. It has a 60% success rate with cocaine addicts like yourself and I hope with both your effort and mine, I can help you overcome your addictions"

He nodded, a smile washing over his countenance

"Thank you, so much. You really don't understand how much this means to me, Reign" he said

I could see the tears pooling at the bottom of his eyes

"Don't cry, Mr Birlem. You'll be better in no time" I convinced him

"So, from what I see, we have another appointment on Wednesday, yes?" I asked

"Uh huh" he replied

"Okay, I'll officially start your therapy then, okay? Try to stay away from the drugs and alcohol but if you really can't, don't feel guilty" I tell him

He nods as I stand up. He followed me to the door and I opened it for him. To my surprise, he enveloped me in a tight hug. I didn't know what to do, so I shyly hugged him back

He let his hands slip to my shoulders and looked me in the eyes

"Thank you"
