Please Pete!



The following is an article taken from nme.com, where Pete Doherty looks as if he is finally coming to terms with his drugs addiction, and if it is true that he wants to say sober, I also have word form the inside that he really does want to kick his habit. There are many that believe drugs aid their creativity and we cannot pretend today that it isn't a lifestyle choice, however it's too easy to fall into it's trap, and there are too many talented people who get lost forever, some never come back.

It won't be easy for Pete, the road to recovery is a hard one for anyone who is on it, but it's better that being out of it, day in day out and letting go of your own ideas, and allowing it to rule you rather than you taking control of your won life, I know Pete will be just as amazing without all that crap!

Pete Doherty 'at drugs turning point'

Babyshambles singer reunites with army father

Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has said he's at "a turning point" in his battle against drug addiction.
The singer said that he has been reconciled with his estranged father after three years apart.
He is now living in Wiltshire after spending time in a rehab centre there.
Doherty told BBC Radio 4's 'Front Row' programme: "In the last eight years, I've never been that long without drugs. I'm not going to lie and say it's not a struggle, because it is. But, in a way, I'm quite proud to be able to admit it, particularly for my mum and dad.
"I'm quietly confident, but there's an underdog feeling about it still. These last few months have been a turning point."
Part of his treatment included family therapy which saw him reunited with his father, Army officer Peter Snr.
The singer said: "He came in for some family therapy, which is a miracle in itself. It was an emotional time, to be honest."
Doherty denied a newspaper story that his cat had tested positive for cocaine, and said that access to the media was restricted.
He told BBC News: "The papers are intercepted. Sometimes I'd pick up The Daily Mirror, but there'd be a page missing."
