Many years ago I 1 to spend New Year’s Eve with my family. I 2 new year with my parents but I had nowhere to go, and being with my family seemed preferable to being on my own.
When my parents 3 the door I could see they 4 , and that they were genuinely happy to see me. I 5 addicted to heroin for 10 years, and for them, seeing me was the confirmation that I wasn’t dead in an alley. Unfortunately, I 6 nothing new or exciting to tell them, just the same sad old stories. I 7 from crappy job to crappy job, being invariably sacked, and I 8 to crime whenever I was out of money. Same old, same old.
During dinner, I 9 a few glassfuls of whisky. I 10 something to make ease the pain, because for the whole evening my sisters 11 at me with such contempt that it was unbearable. My own sisters 12 me. Then I had a moment of realisation; I 13 that they would never hate me as much as I hated myself.
When we finished dinner I 14 my glass. “I’m going into rehab,” I said. My parents 15 at me with some kind of hope. Parents never lose hope. But my sisters just 16 down with disdain. They 17 perfectly well that I had been in rehab centres many times before, and that this time wouldn’t be different.
But this time it was different. After that day, I 18 that look in my sisters’ eyes every day, every time I 19 to shoot some heroin. 10 years later, on a New Year’s Eve, I thanked my sisters because they 20 my life. They kissed me with their new look in their eyes, the look of love.
