Dear Everyone,
I had my first "group" session as a drug counselor yesterday! So excited.
I opened with a frank account of my harrowing descent into drug addiction last week---the long bus rides to Humboldt Park looking to "score" with my "connection. " Actually, the group was very interested in that part---lots of questions, and gossip about various interesting experiences.
I thought we were getting a little off-topic, so I brought out the bible: JUNKIE, by William S. Burroughs, borrowed from the Chicago Public Library. I read aloud for about 25 minutes this classic account of the scourge of drugs, circa 1952.
Some of the group were looking a little sleepy, so we adjourned; I invited people to stay for coffee and more sharing, but everyone had someplace to go.
ONE DAY AT A TIME!
