He had expected those mood swings with her withdrawal, but still it wasn't easy to him, not to be able to help her. When they had arrived in the parking lot and she started to repair to her, he turned to her at his voice was very serious.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Lea, you won't fuck up, I know it. You are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. All you need is some perspective and a goal and you can be very focused. And this time you won't be alone, I will be there, with you. I know that you doubt yourself a lot, I understand it with all that happened to you. I don't doubt you, I know that you get clean again. You don't like to use, Lea, you only did because it offered you comfort from your problems and memories. Tell me honestly, Lea, how often did you wish you could stop it? Return to normal? And when did you use, other than your body crying for it? When you felt like your problems were tumbling down on you, swallowing you? When your memories hauted you and you couldn't deal with them any longer? You are no drug addict, Lea, not in the classic sense. You are not using it for the kick, it gives you no kick. It gives you comfort, it makes you forget the past and the presence. It is your problem solver, your escape."</span><br/><br/>He put his hand on her arm and stroked it tenderly.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Lea, I know that I can't keep you away from booze and drugs by just cleaning out your apartment. If you would be some heavy drug user we would need professional help. But you aren't and I know we can manage it together, if we manage to take away the pain from your memories and make the daily problems more bearable. I can't do it alone, I need your help in it. But you will not be alone, I am there. Don't you think that our love should be strong enough to deal with your problems?"</span></div>
