A/N I know DG stands on fanfic and I couldn't care less. Do not bother and really, people should stop harassing those who post fics.
1. Precontemplation
Characteristic: Denial
Strategy: Encourage the individual to rethink their behaviour
"You need to get back in the saddle, Claire" Geillis Duncan smiled at the waiter filling up the glasses "leave the bottle, we are going to get wasted tonight!"
"Geillis! I'm really tired, and I've told you…." but she had already paid and the waiter went away.
"Oh come on, Claire, loosen up!"
Geillis sipped her whiskey and prepared herself mentally. Claire Beauchamp was her best friend despite their different ideas about life, work and how to have fun: it was Friday night and she almost had to drag her in that bar after her turn at the hospital!
"I'm very worried about you, Claire. Since you've broke up with Frank, you've been only work work work! This ends now! And Blank wasn't the right man for you anyway"
"Don't call him that. You never liked him, Geillis. Just because he is a professor, it doesn't mean he is boring"
"Claire, he forced you to watch History Channel on Saturday night!"
"Yes, but ..."
"... and every time you'd visit your uncle, they would bury themselves in his library for hours, leaving you alone ..."
"It's true but uncle Lamb ..."
"... and then he cheated on you with his assistant!"
"What?"
"Whoops! Sorry Claire, I thought you knew! "
"Son of a bitch! And he accused me of flirting with my patients! "
Geillis smiled slyly, while Claire guzzled down the remaining whiskey and filled her glass again, insulting Frank in between sips. Soon she would be completely drunk and the fun would start.
Pushing Claire was so easy.
