This week's been one of the less-fun ones of my life, but there's been some good to it as well. I haven't had a fix since... Tuesday two weeks ago now, which is pretty good considering this time it's a lot harder. No handy-dandy cleansing rituals, or Homily's potions, just willpower, the docs' medicines, and support from various people. One in particular. The cravings are still there, which explains why I've been keeping myself busy and away from people - I get cranky when I need a fix, and you lot shouldn't have to bear the brunt of it - but the physical withdrawal's just about done (bar the random bouts of shivering and feeling sick occasionally), and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
Unless that's a train. *grins* Just joking.
Strange kept me hard at work all Saturday - that's why I passed out as soon as I got back in, Frenchie. Astral projection, sending my mind out of my body; it's all pretty hippy-sounding. It works, tho', although I can only manage the concentration for a few seconds before I start thinking about what's for lunch or my Arabic homework or something and BAM, back in my own body again. Oh, and I should warn people - there's a chance I might end up in people's dreams before I get the hang of this. Mostly those people I have some kind of connection with, and Strange is teaching me how to get the hell back out again, but just a warning. A bit like the 'paths when they're first learning to shield, I think.
Oh, and speaking of Strange - Frenchie, I did ask him about clairvoyance (the magical version of pre-cog) and he's drumming up some sources for you. And he said something about wanting to meet with you sometime, talk to you about it. No doubt he'll email you or something.

That's what you get...
Date: 2004-09-13 02:29 pm (UTC)You are doing me good. I don't care what anyone else says about it, you _are_. You looked after me when I was vomiting my guts up every five minutes, you got me to eat, and you gave me the breathing space I needed to deal with the whole addiction side of things later, when my system was done with withdrawing. And since I can't hide anything from you, you know when I'm feeling shitty, or when I'm wanting a fix badly enough, and come and distract me. I wouldn't be getting through this without you, love.
And anyone with a problem with it can go fuck themselves sideways.
