Therapist (Rita): Hi guys! I’m Rita and I’m here to help you. Whatever happens in this room, will be stay in this room. Like all we know our situation is a shit a really fucking shit, bus this can be changed… if you let help you.

I know that for you is difficult to start because is the first time so I’m going to start my story. My fish Glu Glu and I were twin’s souls and I didn’t conceive my life without him (crying).A sad and cold third of February of 2002… I was at work and I had a bad feeling and when I arrived home, in fact I didn’t hear Glu Glu’s flutter, He was floating in his fishbowl. My world came down, I hadn’t got anyone in my life to share my happiness and my sadness so I started to go to pubs as routine to forget him, everything remember me Glu Glu.

I realized that the situation was very serious when I drank the fishbowl water but with the help of AA session and of my Guau Guau I overcome my problem. I never give up!

Claps

Therapist (Rita): Who wants to start?

Cameron: I’m going to start because I want to liberate my self so Hi! I’m Cameron.

All the group: Hi! Cameron

Cameron: I was a freak of computer games when I was younger and I loved to play games all the time. I used to play at the computer, at the play station, at XBOX…And I only had two friends. I met them at the university and they were very important to me. One day I invited them to come to my house and spend some time together. So I propose them to play the Sing Star game. I have to recognize that I had rehearsed all the song almost twice and knew the lyrics from all of them. We started playing and I didn’t win any song. They were so good. I couldn’t believe that, and I was very upset with them. I ended shouting them and going crazy. They went home very scared of me. My solution? I opened the mini-bar and I took the whisky bottle and since this moment I can’t live without my best friend: the magic bottle. For me is a very embarrassing situation overcoat when I go to the church.

Therapist (Rita): Ok Cameron, don’t worry. Have you got the bottle here?

Cameron: Ehh yes! I have the bottle in my bag.

Therapist (Rita): Ok try to give it to me; I’m going to keep it...

(Slam) Cameron runs away and Rita shout “Never give up!”

Claps

Sarah: Ok is my turn. I’m Sarah!

All the group: Hi! Sarah.

Sarah: I don’t know what I’m doing here. I don’t come because I need it; I come here because I’m obligated.

Therapist (Rita): Who obligate you to come here?

Sarah: My conditional agent, If you strangling a duck with shoelaces at 5.00 pm in a park its 
illegal.

Therapist (Rita): But this is not related with Alcoholic Anonymous.

Sarah: I guess if you are drunk and naked with a bottle of whisky in my hand, yes.

Therapist (Rita): Why you killed the duck? Or rather what were you doing naked going to kill a duck?

Sarah: You have not hear the expressions of ``don’t look a gift duck in the mouth``?

Therapist (Rita): No…

Sarah: Neither do I.

Therapist (Rita):  Ok we are going to continue with another person because this is going to take us a lot of time but never give up!

Claps

Therapist (Rita): Next!

Danniel: Please me I want help. First of all I’m Daniel.

All the group: Hi! Daniel.

Danniel: I believe that all the stories that I have listened to me seem a little bit absurd to start drinking for it. I think that my story is the most compressible.
How can someone live with less than 100 followers in the Twitter? I couldn't live with the pressure, I wrote and wrote twits but I can't overcome 100 followers, I do not even reached 80.
It was very hard, and as you can imagine this is how I began. When I think it I become sad. I had to eliminate my Twitter account.

All the group: Never give up! (claps)

Sarah: Wow! your story has removed me if you want anything whenever I will be next to you.

(Cameron welcome again)

Therapist (Rita): Where did you go? Cameron?(Cameron: no answer)

Therapist (Rita): Ok I think that we have finished for today… Oh! no we forgot you.

Alegsandra: Ok I didn’t want to talk because I think that my story isn’t important as the other 
stories.

Therapist (Rita): We want to hear you Alegsandra. Go for it!

Alegsandra: Hi my name is Jennifer!

All the group: Hi Jennifer!

Alegsandra: I started drinking with 19 years old because I had a traffic accident and I lost one leg.

Cameron: Puff! What a stupid reason.

Alegsandra: I was the star of the Russian Ballet and when this happened they fire me and all of this started.

My parents saw my depressive situations and give me a lot of money to buy an orthopedic leg but I spend that money in get drunk. I have been in this situation for ten years but I can leave this vice. (She cries)

Danniel: I’m sure that you have 100 followers in Twitter.

Cameron: I’m sure that you have never lost at Sing Star game.

Alegsandra: Yes… I know

Therapist (Rita): It is easy to overcome this situation but ok, remember never give up… (Apathetic).

Therapist (Rita): The time is over. To meet as better I think that we might go away to taking a few beers.

                                                                                                                                 

Alisson: NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOO! I don’t want to drink more, are you crazy Rita? I won’t drink ever.

Stephenie (Alisson mum): Alisson, Alisson! Wake up. Your room stinks of alcohol, you've 
arrived at 6 in the morning, it's 2 in the afternoon, and it’s time for you to wake up. Remember, "Happy Nights, sad mornings".

Alisson: Mum, my head will explode; alcohol sucks and makes me dream things very strange. 

Cracks

The crack next to the door make us think that people in our class is a little bit aggresive.

The lonely hanger, in the corner, oh! Poor hanger!

The ancient TV, that has lived more than Jordi Hurtado, and the jailed video, where will be the key?

The special one

The grandmother was desperated, she didn't know what else she can do. She had tried everything but she doesn't make ends meet. One day she met a young boy, he sold big amounts of marihuana but he was in a bad moment. He asked her for some help and she accepted. Nobody was going to arrest a poor old lady. Sales increased and she started to introduce a new recipe... chocolate cakes of marihuana. Everyone wanted to try these cakes, everyone felt good to eat them. Until one day, a mother bought that cake and give a piece of cake to her daughter. There was no grandmother as she... Grandma quickly moved to Holland and she opened a cake shop.

DA VINCI AND RED BULL

It was Tuesday night, the next day I had two exams and one of them was in art history I studied Dali, Piccaso, Da Vinci ... and I began to think of his work when suddenly I found myself in a museum and were there each and every one of those works. I started to turn, to observe and suddenly heard a voice behind me telling me you've fallen asleep, you're going to be late for exam! and what was my surprise when I opened my eyes had shed all the Red Bull in the book.

He was an ordinary day, we were giving it class while the teacher explained I was walking around the class when suddenly came a teacher. When this came out of the class to close the door which had been noticed barred. The teacher came over to try to open the knob kept in her hand We were locked!

The parachute

A parachute man was flying when something, like a meteorite, felt down, and nearly hit him. "Shit, what's the hell is it?".

After a investigation, the "meteorite" seemed to be the ball that Sergio Ramos shoted in a penalty in the Champions League's semifinal versus Baryern Munchen, which  became petrified in the space.

Be good, don't risk to go to hell

Where am I going to buy the shampoo? My hair is too dirty. Why anyone said to me that in the hell there isn't shampoo? If I had known, I would have been a good person.

A rat in the underground

Suddenly, the air smells as cheese, obviusly I was very hungry, and because of that I went to find my awesome cheese. But the thing that I didn´t know was to find with pretty much humans that they went to here to there and going up to the train chairs, so rude, I think. So, when I was trying to find my chees but the people didn´t let me to do it, so finally I went home without my cheese...I think that someone record me, I don´t care. The only thing that I want was my cheese, but I haven´t.

The horrible day

Today it was an exhausted one, the whole day going to here going to there, and the only thing that I wanted was to be chilling at home, take out my freacking high heels, wash my hair and chill in my bed. But the thing is that yeah I went home, I took out my high heels and when I go to the shower, I opened the tap and I was going to wash my hair... WHAT THE HELL?! THERE IS NO SHAMPOO?! Mad, I get out of the shower go to the frigde and took an ice cream and ate it like there is not tomorrow.

Had he got a dog?

He knew that the same excuse of always was not useful . This day he didn't take the task to class to make believe others that he had dog.

Why?

I had the ball in one hand and the movil in the other while I was playing in the park with my dog.
My subconscious cheat me and well, let´s say that I can´t use my movil anymore.

The best costume

It was Carnival in the School. The oldest students were dressed in black, it was the last year of Carnival for them. The penultimate year for María and she didn't have costume. She improvised getting dressed all in black. "María, go with your classmates of last year!" said the teacher. "No, I'm a real gymnast."

Embarrasment

 We don´t know where she is,  we looked in every corner of the school.

Five hours earlier in the bath...

Crrackkkk¡¡¡¡OOOh shitt my trousers.

A day with snow.

Go hiking to the snow, see how all the children say they know how to ski but then, when the truth goes ahead all the kids fall, for days like these are priceless.

Saint Patrick's Day

Before going to class, I went to have breakfast to the university bar. I came and asked for a coffee, and the waiter brought my cup. I noticed that she was looking at me suspiciously and when I gave a drink I exclaimed: It’s beer! And he exclaimed laughing "Think in green, Happy Saint Patrick's Day" while he was indicating Heinneken's cartel.

SAINT PATRICK´S DAY

It was the day of St. Patrick, all that we could see in our university there were spades, Ireland flags and smiling faces but what the people didn´t kown about this  celebration is the past that concealed the happiness face of the saint, a past that anyone could no imagine… Everything is not what it seems.

Saint Patrick´s Day

It was a Monday morning more exact on March 17 everyone was dressed in green on Ces Don Bosco. At break time instead of ringing the bell, it´s started ringing an Irish ballad, "The Wearing of the Green" and suddenly began to appear on college green elves handing clovers with three green leaves. ¡It's Saint Patrick's Day!

Saint Patrick´s Day

It was St Patrick´s day and I was really boring, suddenly one idea occurred to me and the next image I can remember was me colour my hair to green.

All my class of Ces Don Bosco was in shock.

RING!!! the clock sound, quickly I turned the light on and I saw that my hair was brown.

When I arrived to class I ask some friends,  what  do you think if I turn my hair to green?

St Patrick's Day

It was March 17 and the CES celebrated St Patrick's Day. Everyone was dressed in green and at the entrance people was giving clovers. At the break, we went to the cafe and saw they served green beer! I went to the bathroom and a friendly man gave my way. I came out and started thinking... who was that man? Sure! He was St Patrick's!

SCREAM

We are in our class, in Ces Don Bosco, learning about something about geography,

Then, suddenly we heard a scream, all the class went away and ran to the place where the scream came out, but when we arrived only that we saw, was a body lied on the floor.

Unexpected day

It was a Thursday morning, I got up late, I caught my breakfast, I prepared all running and I went to Don Bosco. When I walked into class what was my surprise:
My cat jumped out of the bag and began to walk around the whole class! The cat was very nervous, after five minutes we managed to catch it.

What the hell's going on?

It was very strange, they were all looking to me while they were laughing. They were very indiscreet. I didn't understand what was happening. At list the day ended and already it was time to come back home. When I came, I understood the reason of their laughs... A thick, dark and abundant beard was covering my face.

RING

We look each other and I said, ``Why the bell doesnt ring?´´
She answers, ``I don´t Know´´, I  can´t support this class anymore!. Why anybody take into account that is the time?

One hour earlier two students of the last course placed peaces of papers between the bell and the metal, so the bell doesn´t produce any sound.

Story of CES Don Bosco

I woke up at 7, I took the metro, 45 minutes away. It was the sixth song I listened until I got to page 200 of my book. I arrived at CES, 8:30 in the morning. I sat at my table. The teacher was late and my classmates too. I had no realized it was the seventh day of the week, Sunday.
