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
