I work in the health service and run various groups and courses, including one which makes ue of refecltive writing and journal use. People who have struggled with years of pain, or who have not been able to think or speak about something for years, often seem to find using a journal a way in and a way to start to cope and make sense of things. Personally, I wouldn't find coping with life that easy without my journal. I find that wherever I go I have to have one with me. I ave a small pocket size one that I can take anywhere, sort of an emergency back up, a larger one by my bed for night time wafflings, and a various others for both creative and self refelctive writing. The main thing for me is that its always available, like a portable therapist and it always listens, even when I talk a lot of nonsense, which is frequently.

It's incredibly detailed some of the time, given word limitations, so it seems likely to become a replacement for the traditional diary in certain cases. Did any cool and useful drug-influenced strangeness make its' way to the page, or were you conscious enough to try and maintain a solid form on your writing? I've said many times that I could never write anything worth a damn when I was using drugs, so it is interesting that you managed to lay down accurate information.
