road to recovery-"bad friend" syndrome

in a recent convention of the dysfunctional anonymous at their new eco-friendly and zen-esque headquarters (i.e my new terrace), a founding member was reproached for her addiction to a toxic and harmful substance known as das irritierende wort or more commonly "bad friend".

in her defense the said member claimed that it wasn't as if she goes out of her way to seek this substance but somehow it always manages to land on her plate. she further claimed that because it can be found in various forms and shapes and sizes, she is often confused and tricked into going back to her addiction.

after lengthy counselling, she realised how detrimental this substance can be to her mental and social well-being as well as how much it has hindered her psychological and ethical development, not to metion the financial cost she had incurred over the period of her lengthy and arduous addiction.

the other members prescribed a detox treatment which entails the total purging of the harmful substance from her system ("DON'T CALL, DON'T SMS, DON'T EMAIL, DON'T REPLY TO ANY FORM OF CORRESPONDENCE THAT THE SUBSTANCE INITIATES, DON'T GET WITHIN A 12KM RADIUS") and a retraining workshop where the member will be imbued with skills of evaluation and analysis to help her recognise the core elements of the substance should she come across repackaged versions of it in the future. the member was also highly encouraged to practice discretion and only consume substances which meet the stringent standards that has been determined by the D.A (pedigree lineage, i.q prerequisite, minimum income requirement, non-skanky behavior, no prior history of mental instability, a 5-year probation period)

and so with that, the member embarked on a slow but worthwhile rehabilitation process.

-The End-
