Euan and Caffeine

Euan has a small addiction. It's not as bad as smoking, but it's still bad for his health. Euan is addicted to caffeine and not even in the cool, French, sitting outside a coffee shop doing a sketch way. His addiction to caffeine is more the type where you bulk buy coke (coca cola, not the devil's dandruff) during the day, then go out all night (I genuinely don't know where he goes, so I wont speculate. I couldn't say for sure that he hires rent boys and has sex with them, or that he works as a male stripper... I just couldn't say).

Every time I see him these days, he just complains about having too much caffeine. He says he needs it because he is always tired from his severe lack of sleep. I've tried to explain to him that going cold turkey and coming clean from his addiction means that he will be able to sleep better at nights, but he doesn't believe me. It's a vicious circle (like an AIDs infested anus) and he can't escape it.

The worst part about his addiction is that he gets really down because of it. When he's high, he feels on top of the worst - cracking wise and being the funniest, nicest person you'll ever meet. Sadly when he's low, he really is low - he barely speaks, except to claim somebody has stolen his "baby" and he cries (oh how he cries).

It's a horrible thing to watch. I think that everybody could help him by posting "give it up, Euan" on his facebook wall. It's the only way we can help him.

ps; I'm sorry if this one sounds really sad, it's just that it is.
