You can take the Irishman out of Ireland...

So those weren't just Diet Cokes he was toting!

Notice the operative word, maintain his sobriety. If I had a place like Promises at my disposal, I'd be maintaining 8 months out of the year.

Wow...

I'm glad he's taking it seriously though, and I hope he's ok.

I wonder what made him decide to go this time.*wonders*

Now I feel like sending him a get well soon card or something.

You know I just think he needed a break more than anything, he works too hard all the time. I just hope rehab works for him, since years of couselling haven't. Okies now I just feel like giving him a hug.

LOL, Promises. I wanna get addicted to something so I can go there, the music alone convinced me! Do you think Jonny addiction counts?

Its funny because every article was like "He hasn't been drinking, all he drinks is tea, blah di blah di blah" and I can't imagine Jonny hiding those little bottles of alcohol in his man purse everywhere...

...Oh wait, actually I can.

I just hope it helps, and he gets some much deserved rest.

Like I said, the operative word is maintaining his sobriety. It's not uncommon for alcoholics to re-admit themselves even if they've been sober for quite some time. He might feel a relapse coming on, or overworked - which would might cause him to drink. Think of it as nipping it in the bud. Or quite honestly, this is Promises! He gets to sit on floofy couches and talk about his feelings to counselors. Sounds good to me.

I don't really care either way. Yes I do, I miss drunk Jonny. :( But I am glad I have an excuse to go to the website and let the music play...

[isildae]

Exactly!

He gets to take a little vacation at Promises. I wonder if they have that music playing when you walk in.*g*

I do miss drunk Jonny ("It's amazing the courage you get with a drink!") but imagining Jonny at Promises isn't too shabby methinks. Wow Jonny talking about his feelings...that counselor's gonna need a stiff drink after that!

You gals are so fun to read. The young drunk Johnny was struggling to make it as an "A-lister" despite all claims to the contrary. At least his handlers thought he had potential to be an American star and they hooked themselves up to his vapor trail. Now he gets major roles in million dollar productions and even has the responsibility to carry a series on American cable network on his newly broadened shoulders.

Did he look nervous/strained/out of sorts to you on The View/Ellen/Leno? Did he need to be photographed everywhere w/ his heiress girlfriend just as The Tudors premiere parties were covered by the media? Was he "asked" to "clean up his act" by family and his special someone shortly after completing Elvis, his award winning ticket to the Big League? I see so many similarities here.

But I am grateful to whomever it was that influenced him, esp if he noticed the signs himself, to take this brave step to get back on the path to sobriety. It is a lifelong journey.

Isi...do you still have that software to rip/record music from the internet? I so badly want the Promises music!!!

[isildae]

Oh I can totally reinstall the program tomorrow!! I want the promises music too!!

LEAH YOUR ICON.*makes grabby hands*

[ophelias_lament]

YAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! PROMISES MUSIC!! *tackle squidges*

The icon isn't fantastic - it was hard to do so, as it was so dark and blurry. But I wanted me some raw-silk robe Jonny badly. With hair. Lots of hair.

[isildae]

Pssh it looks fucking amazing!!*strokes*

Yup I'll work on recording it first thing tomorrow!

[ophelias_lament]

*mad running in circles*

And I will put it on my iPod and totally laugh everytime I listen to it and think of all the angsty, pseudo-addicts in their posh chairs sipping Fiji water and saying things like "The paparazzi made me do it!!"

I keep forgetting to mention, do you remember the way he looked at us during "I Don't Ever Give Up?" Doesn't that seem ten-times angstier knowing now that he was two weeks away from going back to rehab? Hmmm? *claps quietly*

[isildae]

I'll have to wait for my Stepdad to come home, because he has the password to do it, but no worries, I'll get it done straight away.

OT but Fiji water is so good.XD

Okies I can't even listen to "I Don't Ever Give Up" now, since you said that. Now I want to know what he was going through that day, even though he seemed so happy. It was such a beautiful moment for us, and yet in his own life...he was struggling.

I feel so bad for him sometimes. Though I think his life is getting better, and he's taking care of himself, and that's all that matters.

*woobies*
