Layne’s diary entry from “This Angry Pen of Mine: Recovering the Journals of Layne Staley” book.
Feb 10, 1992
“Me + Dem did our last shots this morning but I can’t feel it anymore. At the airport on our way to drug treatment. It’ll be great not to rely on this shit anymore. I’m excited to be healthy again, mentally and physically. Physically I’m skinny, I’ve lost alot of weight and I’m weak. Mentally I’m dead inside and have no creative energy – I need to get it back. I’m excited to get all my strength back. I’ve heard that detoxing in a place like this is pretty cushy, but I’m so strung, I can’t imagine I will feel no pain at all. I just hope I can sleep.
I hope it’s easy on Dem too. She doesn’t like hurting and she feels sick alot, I’m sure it won’t be cushy enough for her. I just hope she doesn’t run away like she has before. I want us to get healthy together, but if she decides she’s not ready again, I will still continue my program, but I love and care about her alot, and I want her to feel good, especially about herself.”
