Pete Doherty believes his drug addiction is a "mental deficiency". Why am I wasting my time and money and friendship and love and energy and creativity on some grotty dessert?" The 'Can't Stand Me Now' singer was estranged from his father for several years because of his drug addiction but he's praised his "incredible" dad for his efforts to reconnect. He's gone from not talking to me because of drugs to going online and looking up drug slang. Pete feels "a little blessed" to still be alive but despite his destructive habits, he insists he's never wanted to die.
