Pete Doherty is convinced he will die unless he is able to stop his dependency on drugs.

The Babyshambles singer was pictured on camera injecting himself with heroin after a performance at the MTV European Music Awards earlier this month - despite earlier claiming he had kicked his drug habit.

A worried friend has given The Sun excerpts of Doherty's diary in attempt to help the 28-year-old recover.

Doherty writes: "If I had not been chemically dependent my life would have been extremely manageable. No jail, no rehab, normal functioning friendships and relationships and a lucrative, respectable career.

"I would probably own a house, a driving licence, and a better reputation. If I don't pack in drugs, particularly crack and heroin, I am likely to either die, go mad or end up permanently institutionalised. I'm on a direct course for all four."

The friend adds: "I want this in the public domain because I want Pete to remember how determined he was to get clean and stay clean."
